oh no people disregard the feelings of inanimate objects!
seriously, this is like saying video games cause violence
Dozens of studies have been carried out over decades and every single one has shown that video games do not cause violence.
That’s not what the campaign is saying. The statues are just being used as a visually striking metaphor for sexual harassment. It’s cheaper and more effective to put some placards on a statue that people are obviously paying attention to, vs spending the time to design posters that nobody will look at.
Rape culture!
I can’t stop imagining how hilarious it would’ve ended if there was -5°C and he got stuck glued to the bull’s balls. Painful, but hilarious
So judging by many of the comments here and there upvotes, is this news community for the edgy right wing losers?
People like to touch silly places on statues. Maybe the intent translates better in German culture, but it’s a swing and a miss to me.
