Store Pulls 'It's Not Rape It's a Snuggle With a Struggle' T-Shirt (But You Can Still Buy It Online)

A department store in the Philippines was selling a brown T-shirt reading, “It’s Not Rape It’s a Snuggle With a Struggle,” with two hands forming the shape of a heart in the middle. But after the photo went viral, the product was pulled from the retailer’s shelves.
Karen Kunawicz, who is from New Orleans, La., found the shirt at SM Supermall in Pasay City. She shared a photo of the offensive tee on her Facebook page, and it promptly received thousands of shares and comments from friends around the world. She said she spotted it in the statement tees section for boys. “I was shaking I could not take a proper photo,” she wrote on her wall. “Insulting to women and girls and as a mom of a soon to be 13 year old, it made me want to throw up.”

The SM Store released a statement on Facebook that reads, “We do not tolerate such action. SM does not support such irresponsible and malicious acts that mock important and sensitive social issues.” Store officials pulled the item from shelves and are investigating why the tee was shipped (and displayed for sale) in the first place.
The T- shirt sparked online rage, but it’s not the first time that the sexual violence has been trivialized on a tee. Last year, a T-shirt company that sold its goods through Amazon came under fire after shirts that featured slogans such as “Keep Calm And Rape A Lot” and “Keep Calm And Rape Them” were discovered. An Etsy shop in 2013 was pulled from the site after shirts with slogans such as “Autumn is perfect for date rape” and “I’m a sensitive guy, I only rape pregnant women” were revealed to the larger public. And recently, students wearing shirts spelling out “rape” were discovered on Twitter, and their Long Island school district said it was considering disciplinary and legal action against them.
While it’s great that SM Supermall is getting to the bottom of why and how the T-shirt made it onto shelves, the shirt can still be found online. Foulmouthshirts.com, a U.S.-based company, sells the tee and, according to the website, it’s available in more than 350 styles, sizes, and color combinations. And Idakoos.com sells tees emblazoned with “I Love Motionless Girls.”
i saw this last night and in the side bar was an article about the rise in haunted houses that now offer simulated rape to anyone that buys a ticket and signs a waiver. and i was finished for the night.
what? I mean...I just...WHAT? What does that even mean?? How does that work? Do you wear a special bracelet that says that the haunted house workers can drag you off from the group and dry hump you?

Oh my god. I would need therapy for years after something like this.
Im so angry and disgusted at the people who think of stuff like this that I can't even string words together right now.

the one that was profiled on cracked was in NYC and you sign a waiver to enter. you enter alone and then they do whatever they want to you within the contents of the waiver. the guy said that he was in a dark room while someone bear hugged him and licked his face and said nasty shit to him, then in another room he was made to eat something that was supposed to be shit, then a plastic bag was placed on his head, then he was led to a room where a man was raping a woman and he was forced to watch, then he was tied up and a naked woman dry humped him, then he had to dig in a bucket of vomit to get keys to free the raped woman and then he had to use a staple gun on a guy before he could leave.
there were a lot of nudity and rape-y things. each year is different. reviews of the haunted house said they waterboarded people either last year or the year before. the constant factors i have found has been some type of bodily fluid you are made to eat (bloody tampons, shit and vomit are what i read), rape (you watching and then occurring to you) and nudity.

i mean, dont you want to go?
Wouldn't this be classified as bdsm kink, though? Not really a haunted house.

They have a safe word.
There's a blog about these types of "haunted houses" with video clips of what happens to people on the inside. Some of them market themselves as "walking into your own horror movie" and some are more BDSM/kink related. But all seem horrifying.

No. No I do not. I'd rather zombies and evil dolls.

What is worse are the comments that tend to go along with the news stories about this t-shirt. Men who state that women need to get a sense of humour or that they'd wear it. Disgusting idiots.
