Not just a crime, but pedophilic crime. A crime is not necessarily unethical or immoral. But this particular crime is terrible. Statutory rape is when you rape a CHILD.
think the term 'consentual' in that context is meant to mean to the extent the victim CAN consent. mainly to separate it from when the victim doesn't consent, which this one hopes we can all agree is markedly worse by every possible metric
That is exactly why statutory rape laws exist, though. It sounds an unsettling sentence, but what it means is that the person (child, in this case) agreed to or wanted to engage in the activity, and was not forced or coerced. Essentially saying, "even though the child agreed to the act, as a child, they cannot consent, and it therefore becomes a form of rape".
Yeah its definitely sick. Statutory rape only makes sense to me if its a teenager who is the victim, because as a teen you might know about sex and want to have it. unfortunately it might happen with a legal adult, and it become statutory. In what works does a kid under 12 know about sex and want to do it, wtf
At this point they're doing it for attention, they know it's gonna piss people off and they don't care about whether it trivializes rape and violence, even towards minors.
My husband was only half listening to this as he went about his business while I was watching... he said, "ummm... I'm sorry, what did she say the name of that ink was?" I told him, and he said,"That's disgusting! What is wrong with people, men mostly, but like really." I'm grateful for him as a person and a father. We have 4 daughters, and he supports them as individuals and women.
I bought a pale pink ink of theirs once, didnt know the name of it when i got it but when it came it was labeled "like a virgin"... i soon discovered they were not big Madona fans. Gave me the ick and never bought anything of theirs again so when i saw the 'statutory grape' i was not suprised. Im glad its being called out and I hope this has major consiquences for the brand!
Before any guys come in here with "not all men:" if you're behaving yourself, women know you aren't included. Be quiet and quit drowning out their voices with your protests. This is tasteless humor and you know damned well it was one of us men who did it - one with a particularly tainted mind. Thanks for drawing our attention to another industry scumbag company. Looking amazing as always! I hope your heat is fixed and your throat is well! 😊
Yeah honestly, I think if you're a dude and your first thought is "dude, im not like that" you're like... Well, in this case, my guy, you're missing the point and part of the problem.... and that's coming from a guy who is very willing to call out misandry when i sees it!
I'm a dude and my reaction was ewww, ewww, EWWWWW. No need for any "not all men", it doesn't matter who came up with those names. It's just disgusting. Man, woman, other - it's gross.
@saintblackangel my husband feels the same. The whole "not all men" thing doesn't need to be said. He literally sat down with all 4 of our daughters (aged 30-19) and asked them, "How do I let women know I understand their frustration without being defensive and still tell them that I am a safe space?" He is an amazing dad/man. Thanks for holding space for women and holding other men accountable.
Sadly, this isn't new. In 1970, Dodge made cars in a color that was called "statutory gr*pe". Its name was changed to "plum crazy" after people DEEMED IT TOO OFFENSIVE IN 1970. Wtf!?
It is just an ink name but it needs to be talked about cause it’s a symptom of so many horrible things. Normalization of not taking SA seriously leads to things like a rapist being elected as president of the United States and people not batting an eye when so many men he’s choosing for his administration also have allegations and ongoing investigations. Not treating rape seriously needs to be shut down at every turn cause small things and jokes can create biases that lead to not taking big things seriously
yeah, don't care if you're trying to be edgy, there are a few things you don't joke about, and sexual assault of all kinds is definitely one of them. ESPECIALLY when it's the sexual assault of a minor.
Yep especially "calm down karen" in the marketing. They knew what they were doing and hoped to go viral with outrage out weighing and potential boycot.
Imagine going to get a Medusa tattoo with lots of meaning to you, and you ask the tattoo artist what’s the name of the ink? And then ur like wow, I can’t have anything without it being tainted
Cis men would care a lot more if it was their backdoor that was being made fun of. Yes, rape absolutely also happens to cis men but considerably less often than to women - cis and trans - and people assigned female at birth.
Statutory "grape" can of course happen to boys as well, in before anyone says that. But all the stuff like fanny rash or heavy flow, just ewww. I swear, those types of cishet men don't actually like women. It's weird.
Nope, cis dudes make jokes about prison rape and not dropping the soap all the time and it’s horrendously normalized, especially during the 2010s being abused by a woman (or sometimes a gay man) was seen as funny and often included in comedies. It’s a huge part of the reason as to why most men don’t come out about their SA, so while men are probably less likely to be assaulted than a woman or trans/queer person the actual numbers are likely underreported since most men don’t even realize they’ve been abused or think it’s normal.
@@hattarapilviI’ve found that “family oriented” small businesses with pics of the fam and a backstory page are usually wholesome. They usually start with 1 “passion project” like making Gandpas card game idea come to life, or a parent seeing a gap of some kind and filling it with a new/better quality product than what’s out there already. Anything that doesn’t follow this formula I am immediately sus of
This is ridiculous. And the fact that they didn't manage to come up with anything else. For a purple ink, the eggplant emoji is right there to make an edgy pun with.
I was hanging out with this guy I thought was cute one night and I noticed he had a collection of consent stickers on his wall. I was like what’s this and he proceeded to tell me he and his friends collected them around campus because they thought it was funny and it was unnecessary to tell people sex required consent, blah blah blah it’s just a “joke” and I never saw him again. I couldn’t run out of his apartment fast enough.
i was 12-13, he was 17/18. he got statutory 🍇as his charge. He was also charged as a juvenile, this man manipulated me for TWO almost three years before I realized it was wrong because of all the lies he fed me. This brand can rot and the US justice system as well.
Yeap! Context is everything! I would buy and use for a tattoo or party or whatever. But i'll feel weird If a professional Just put on me for my tattoo session. Like, my body, MY joke. I'm not the joke!
They only think it’s funny because they haven’t been sa’ed, and do not have to live with the reality of it being a constant ‘it could happen to me’. Also, the rule of something funny is, if you have to explain or defend it, it’s not funny.
I was just floored seeing this name. Because I used to work at a marijuana dispensary and my boss talked about possibly cutting off a supplier that tried to sell us a strain with the same name. They apparently were pushy about it too trying to say it was "a strong strain". Yeah, he did not buy that for us to sell in shop and i am pretty sure he did cut the grower off. Which was unfortunate for them since their strains tended to be good but nothing is so good it gets to slide on bs like that.
I just looked on the site myself and std yellow... urinal lime...? GONNARIA??? ik these aren't nowhere near as bad as the grape one, but I think naming your inks around diseases and overall gross things doesn't sound appealing.
And to think CelinaSpookyBoo thought she went too far by making a poo themed eyeshadow pallette. At least hers is cute and doesn't make your skin crawl.
People finding this funny are apart of the problems, victims and their stories will be disrespected by weirdos and creeps until everyone decides together this stuff isn't funny at all, there's tasteful jokes and then there's this
I wish they would explain why it's funny. I half wonder how many of them are laughing out if discomfort but not realizing that's the reaction they're so dissociated from their feelings. Men like this are so dangerous.
What gets me here is the fact censorship for clicks instigated this. Would a brand be stupid enough to create a color called “statutory r*pe? (yes I’m censoring so I don’t get deleted but honestly 🖕🏻 that) Thank you for never censoring yourself in any form & it’s why you’re one of my favorite creators. And you’re cool as hell. Please keep fighting the good fight.
@@lillianfulgham9280in the 70s there was no concern that a not-yet-existing search engine would suppress the listing. The point is that this company knew the non censored name would likely make them less profit thanks to algorithms designed to prevent vile stuff from showing up at the top of results. They knew it was something other companies wouldn’t show consumers for moral and safety reasons and still made it, just adjusted a tiny bit for max profit.
"Brown stains" is also what crime scene investigators have to call blood stains before a lab has tested a sample and confirmed that it is actually blood.
This feels like the prime example of rage bait, like I’d be willing to bet they did this just to get attention. Or the idea that any press is good press
Some of those colors seem to be in a series called “5150 art color” not sure if this the case but they might be referencing an involuntary psychiatric hold which 5150 is code for in the US. Which would also be a gross thing to use for tattoo ink names.
It reminds me of Sexxy Redd’s (idk how that’s spelled) lip gloss names that she’s coming out with (ex. Gonorrhea, yellow discharge) but somehow even worse. Truly wtf
ok not a fan either, but lipstick you buy yourself and there's a tag on it. Tattoo ink is in your body forever and you paid someone to purchase from a disgusting company and have a laugh while tattooing hidden meaning onto you. it's your body their choice again
its so fucking sad how desensitized people are.. im not "soft" for thinking this is horrible.. something actually wrong and you need genuine help if your so okay with stuff like this in everyday media
I'm sorry...THERE'S A STATE WHERE THE AGE OF CONSENT IS 12?!? That's extremely disgusting!!! Also, the company who names that ink "statutory grape" makes me think that they agree with grape. The men who find grape funny are one of the reason why us women choose the bear... This is absolutely GROSS.
I don't think that's the case (with the age of consent being 12). As I understand it, it's more so that it is considered a different crime when the person (child) agrees to the act, even if they cannot legally consent, compared to when they are forced. Both are still crimes but they are judged differently. I'm not a legal expert so take with a grain of salt.
@Link-dx1lx Tbh that does makes sense, p*dophilla and grape is bad, so no matter what, there should be serious punishment. I'm not an expert in law either, but that person who wrote that post made about 12 yr olds made it sound like that to me personally. Either way, it's still extremely bad in unspeakable ways.
I literally yelled, "UUUUUUUGGGHH" when you said the name of the ink. Like, WTF? Why would that even cross anyone's mind, let alone go through with putting out an entire product with that name?
I read the name of the color in the thumbnail and knew that I needed your take on this. The WHO or the CDC (I forget which) declared that "jokes" like this do, in fact, increase the risk of these crimes being committed
Lauren, I love that you bring attention to critical issues that are undervalued by the general public. Thank you for doing this. As a victim, I wish that there had been this level of awareness when I was going through my stuff. Thank you, for being a part of necessary change in a time where the state of the world is, well, fucked. Your impact crosses continents. You are a glimmer of hope, safety and compassion. Rape culture (and other brands of oppression) functions as a pyramid. Those who make jokes like this create a foundation that make the actions acceptable. For more detailed context look up "the pyramid of white supremacy".
@@anodyne321 As well-meaning as this is, it's condescending. Don't force labels onto people, do not force things on me the way they did. If you click away from this in rage, you concede to caring more about your ego than those who have endured abuse.
This is probably the top worst branding decision I've seen yet. I knew a girl in school that had to become a mother at the age of 11. It's not funny or cute.
Things like this are the reason so many women feel uncomfortable in the tattoo space :( I’m lucky to have met a great artist but the fact that people like this are in the industry is really offputting…
"Haha, SO edgy! So funny! Haha!" - said no one sane about a tattoo ink named like that EVER. There's dark humour. There's edgy humour. Then there's just being nasty and disgusting. The blurred nip stickers were fine. They were completely fine until the freaking "distracted by the perfect set of nips?" sentence. At that moment I cried, vomited in my mouth and d*ed, all at the same time.
If it wasn't for tattoos I could see them being fun. But I find the blurring thing sort of sexual /sexualizing. I don't think a tattoo studio is a good spot for these when people are already vulnerable and exposed. Like, why allude to the nipples underneath if they're not trying to be creepy? Now, as a part of costumes or something like that these could be really fun. But otherwise it seems gross.
As a man who’s been raped as a minor: what the fuck? This is a thing!? I’m so glad I never get coloured tattoos or I’d have to ask about every gosh darn purple, I do not want that in my skin
Quick tip for american companies- you can find the ceo on the state website if you put on the business. It also works for most companies in the EU and some countries in asia.
I just want everyone to know that Guy in the first comment is fighting for his life against a hundred replies and they started roasting his honda civiv in his profile photo.

No because I'm for abortion and think this name isn't that ridiculous it's clearly dark spirited and tasteless but nothing to be overly upset about I'm sorry but I don't get it
The only times I have ever joked about sa is when I have made jokes about my personal experience with csa. I would absolutely never make a joke about the sa of another person. For me it has helped me process and heal from my trauma I know this doesn’t work for everyone but it has helped me.
Yeah everyone gets a free pass to joke about their own experiences. I think those types of jokes are more nuanced too because you’re drawing on your experiences instead of just “csa funny ha ha” like these ink names.
This comes just after I got my new tattoo. I was so glad that he didn't use this brand. As a side note, he was also super respectful, but the fear of an artist being creepy is a good part of why I always bring a buddy, as I am AFAB/femme presenting. Thank you for your years of entertainment and information!
As a dude, that's the reason why I have very few male friends. I actually like women as humans, you know? And as friends. For some reason, many cishet men seem to hate women. Something is very wrong with those guys.
I feel like an incel quagmire would be a better comparison. Even comic book guy would say "worst joke ever." But yea not a good look for a company if people can invission them as creeps.
A tattoo artist I know recommended these inks a while back, when they said heavy flow is their favourite red I knew I wasn't gonna look into the brand or remain in contact with that artist
JFC, that reference to “keeping it legal” in the tagline is even worse than the name itself. At absolute best it’s extremely cringey, that’s literally the mildest thing I could possibly call it. And so many of those names… even the ones that aren’t necessarily offensive or fricked up… are just… lazy and obvious. Like… seriously?! “Brown Stain”?! “Butt Skin”?! “STD Yellow”?! That’s the best naughty pun name they could come up with?! Really?!
*On Karen: That is my mother's name and she's in her 60's and does sometimes fit the stereotype. But there are more men acting that way that I see here in the Midwest USA. So "Kevin" is what they are. But the truth is that they are just As§holes!
Kevin was always the name for a very stupid man. Kevina having been made the female version. I would say they're a Richard. Like a real Dick if you will.
Jesus. What is with the constant “grow up” comments? I don’t think people upset about the trivialization of sexual assault are the ones who need to seek a higher level of maturity here….
Statutory, iirc, can also mean stuff like drunk, or with someone considered not mentally well enough to do stuff like sign contracts or live without a guardian. Still an extremely serious and bad thing regardless, and yeah the kid situation is the most common useage of the phrase.
23:20 every effing time I let myself wonder what you could possibly have found offensive about something before you explain you unveil one of the wildest things I could’ve imagined
It's the fact that they lumped statutory rape along with other "edgy/gross but not deplorable" terms. They think it belongs with names like "diaper rash" and "golden shower." Gross enough to be funny, but not morally reprehensible enough to tarnish their brand. I don't see them naming inks after other crimes. Just the one about objectifying teenage girls, that's in their edgy sweet spot apparently.
As someone who was groomed into “consenting” to sleep with a 22 year old man… at 11/12 ish.. then my whole family turned against me and still to this day visit the man in jail.. just hearing her talk about this makes me shake. Not sure why but hearing someone outraged makes me happy I can’t believe I didn’t subscribe sooner ❤️❤️♥️♥️

This right here!!!!
Not just a crime, but pedophilic crime. A crime is not necessarily unethical or immoral. But this particular crime is terrible.
Statutory rape is when you rape a CHILD.
"Consentual sex with a person under 12" . . . . 🤮 nope nope nope that sentence shouldn't exist as anyone that young auto CANNOT consent!!!

There’s so many other name options! Grape Expectations. The Grapest Show on Earth. Catherine the Grape.
"Brown stains" is also what crime scene investigators have to call blood stains before a lab has tested a sample and confirmed that it is actually blood.
This feels like the prime example of rage bait, like I’d be willing to bet they did this just to get attention. Or the idea that any press is good press
Some of those colors seem to be in a series called “5150 art color” not sure if this the case but they might be referencing an involuntary psychiatric hold which 5150 is code for in the US. Which would also be a gross thing to use for tattoo ink names.
That is 100% the reference
@@Justinelucyyinkwhat even is the joke there?? The color lasting so long it's "holding" you "involuntarily"???
A California brand??? Wtf .. well I guess start boycotting.. who the hell is pitching this advertisement? I'm forwarding this to my tatt artist.
It reminds me of Sexxy Redd’s (idk how that’s spelled) lip gloss names that she’s coming out with (ex. Gonorrhea, yellow discharge) but somehow even worse. Truly wtf
Omg how did I not know about this 😂😫 diiiiireee names that!!
ok not a fan either, but lipstick you buy yourself and there's a tag on it. Tattoo ink is in your body forever and you paid someone to purchase from a disgusting company and have a laugh while tattooing hidden meaning onto you. it's your body their choice again
@@marylincherie1806 Trueee and that’s a really good point I didn’t think of it like that
I'm glad someone brought this up cause that's immediately what I thought of
“Went to take a hot relaxing bath” Turned into “And there I was just raging in the bath”
its so fucking sad how desensitized people are.. im not "soft" for thinking this is horrible.. something actually wrong and you need genuine help if your so okay with stuff like this in everyday media
I'm sorry...THERE'S A STATE WHERE THE AGE OF CONSENT IS 12?!? That's extremely disgusting!!! Also, the company who names that ink "statutory grape" makes me think that they agree with grape. The men who find grape funny are one of the reason why us women choose the bear... This is absolutely GROSS.
I don't think that's the case (with the age of consent being 12). As I understand it, it's more so that it is considered a different crime when the person (child) agrees to the act, even if they cannot legally consent, compared to when they are forced. Both are still crimes but they are judged differently. I'm not a legal expert so take with a grain of salt.
@Link-dx1lx Tbh that does makes sense, p*dophilla and grape is bad, so no matter what, there should be serious punishment. I'm not an expert in law either, but that person who wrote that post made about 12 yr olds made it sound like that to me personally. Either way, it's still extremely bad in unspeakable ways.
I literally yelled, "UUUUUUUGGGHH" when you said the name of the ink. Like, WTF? Why would that even cross anyone's mind, let alone go through with putting out an entire product with that name?
Why aren’t they more offended and appalled by it…? Because it’s never happened to them or someone they care deeply about.
I feel like cheeky is like a good joke or pun or witty… this isn’t funny at all.
Cheeky is what makes your nan go, "Oooh! Hee hee!"
I read the name of the color in the thumbnail and knew that I needed your take on this. The WHO or the CDC (I forget which) declared that "jokes" like this do, in fact, increase the risk of these crimes being committed
Just listening to the list of ink names, I can't imagine anyone but a group of middle school boys coming up with these. Like seriously? Yikes
1:00 WHAT- oh um cool ok yeah- JAIL JAIL IMMEDIATELY
Lauren, I love that you bring attention to critical issues that are undervalued by the general public. Thank you for doing this. As a victim, I wish that there had been this level of awareness when I was going through my stuff. Thank you, for being a part of necessary change in a time where the state of the world is, well, fucked. Your impact crosses continents. You are a glimmer of hope, safety and compassion.
Rape culture (and other brands of oppression) functions as a pyramid. Those who make jokes like this create a foundation that make the actions acceptable. For more detailed context look up "the pyramid of white supremacy".
🧡🧡🧡
You’re not a victim, you’re a survivor ❤
@@anodyne321 As well-meaning as this is, it's condescending. Don't force labels onto people, do not force things on me the way they did. If you click away from this in rage, you concede to caring more about your ego than those who have endured abuse.
This is probably the top worst branding decision I've seen yet. I knew a girl in school that had to become a mother at the age of 11. It's not funny or cute.
Trivialising such a disgusting crime is genuinly crazy, like its a child being abused how is that a funny cheeky name for a tattoo ink? Freaks fr
Things like this are the reason so many women feel uncomfortable in the tattoo space :( I’m lucky to have met a great artist but the fact that people like this are in the industry is really offputting…
"Haha, SO edgy! So funny! Haha!" - said no one sane about a tattoo ink named like that EVER. There's dark humour. There's edgy humour. Then there's just being nasty and disgusting.
The blurred nip stickers were fine. They were completely fine until the freaking "distracted by the perfect set of nips?" sentence. At that moment I cried, vomited in my mouth and d*ed, all at the same time.
If it wasn't for tattoos I could see them being fun. But I find the blurring thing sort of sexual /sexualizing. I don't think a tattoo studio is a good spot for these when people are already vulnerable and exposed. Like, why allude to the nipples underneath if they're not trying to be creepy?
Now, as a part of costumes or something like that these could be really fun. But otherwise it seems gross.
As a man who’s been raped as a minor: what the fuck? This is a thing!? I’m so glad I never get coloured tattoos or I’d have to ask about every gosh darn purple, I do not want that in my skin
Quick tip for american companies- you can find the ceo on the state website if you put on the business. It also works for most companies in the EU and some countries in asia.
I just want everyone to know that Guy in the first comment is fighting for his life against a hundred replies and they started roasting his honda civiv in his profile photo.
Honestly, if I saw this ink bottle at a tattoo shop, I would turn around and walk out.
If you go to California Business registry search you'll find a name.
I can't believe that at no point during the design and production of this ink that no one said "hang on a minute...."
Even outside of this name, like if they never came up with it, some of the other names would still turn me off from their products
There is odd names, weird names and strange choses for names. And then there is that! Blood boiling. Simply not okay.
christ this is offensive on so many levels?? so disappointed that my regular tattoo shop stocks them ://
Oh no 🫣
@@treacletatts don’t think i’ll be going back there especially because i have a purple tattoo from one of the artists :)))
Maybe let them know about this?
Im so glad I go to a female tattoo artist with very strong boundaries that respects their clients.
Also, if anyone does decide to do a women owned tattoo supply business, I'm an accountant and would love to be on board!
The guys who think there's nothing wrong with those names are the same ones saying "your body my choice" here in the US. We're currently living in a dumpster fire
No because I'm for abortion and think this name isn't that ridiculous it's clearly dark spirited and tasteless but nothing to be overly upset about I'm sorry but I don't get it
The only times I have ever joked about sa is when I have made jokes about my personal experience with csa. I would absolutely never make a joke about the sa of another person. For me it has helped me process and heal from my trauma I know this doesn’t work for everyone but it has helped me.
Yeah everyone gets a free pass to joke about their own experiences. I think those types of jokes are more nuanced too because you’re drawing on your experiences instead of just “csa funny ha ha” like these ink names.
Yeah I joke about my own experiences with sa but would never joke about anyone else's, humour helped me deconstruct the trauma.
This comes just after I got my new tattoo. I was so glad that he didn't use this brand. As a side note, he was also super respectful, but the fear of an artist being creepy is a good part of why I always bring a buddy, as I am AFAB/femme presenting. Thank you for your years of entertainment and information!
Average man humor. And they wonder why they will rot in the loneliness epidemic 😂
As a dude, that's the reason why I have very few male friends. I actually like women as humans, you know? And as friends.
For some reason, many cishet men seem to hate women. Something is very wrong with those guys.
I just know the guy who came up with that name is the human version of the Simpson’s comic book guy
I feel like an incel quagmire would be a better comparison. Even comic book guy would say "worst joke ever." But yea not a good look for a company if people can invission them as creeps.
As a CSA survivor, I would be devastated to find out my tattoo artist used an ink on me called statutory grape. Just completely devastated.
A tattoo artist I know recommended these inks a while back, when they said heavy flow is their favourite red I knew I wasn't gonna look into the brand or remain in contact with that artist
7:47 this is where the gloves come OFF, ladies and gentlemen.
Such weird ink name choices. Like I can’t imagine putting an ink named pus into my skin. Just ew.
JFC, that reference to “keeping it legal” in the tagline is even worse than the name itself. At absolute best it’s extremely cringey, that’s literally the mildest thing I could possibly call it.
And so many of those names… even the ones that aren’t necessarily offensive or fricked up… are just… lazy and obvious. Like… seriously?! “Brown Stain”?! “Butt Skin”?! “STD Yellow”?! That’s the best naughty pun name they could come up with?! Really?!
That Christmas Axolotl is so cute!!!!
Omg it’s a family!!!
*On Karen: That is my mother's name and she's in her 60's and does sometimes fit the stereotype. But there are more men acting that way that I see here in the Midwest USA. So "Kevin" is what they are. But the truth is that they are just As§holes!
Kevin was always the name for a very stupid man. Kevina having been made the female version.
I would say they're a Richard. Like a real Dick if you will.
Jesus. What is with the constant “grow up” comments? I don’t think people upset about the trivialization of sexual assault are the ones who need to seek a higher level of maturity here….
If I see this color in an artists drawer ngl I’m running for the hills. Like I’ll eat the loss from the deposit
Statutory, iirc, can also mean stuff like drunk, or with someone considered not mentally well enough to do stuff like sign contracts or live without a guardian. Still an extremely serious and bad thing regardless, and yeah the kid situation is the most common useage of the phrase.
Male humor be like: rape 😂😂😂😂😂
Matt Gaetz favorite color. 😳
On another note, that cherry top is chef's kiss ❤
Thank you!!!! 🧡
The tattoo community has had an edgelord problem for a while now and they really need to be reigned in.
one of Kat Von D's first cancellations was about "Underage Red" as a lipstick color. Quantum is taking it to a whole new level.
A grape joke is funny...until they experience the flavor for themselves.
My roommate make those jokes sometimes and its so uncomfortable, moment i move dorms im ditching that 'friendship' so fast
i do see heavy flow funny if it’s from a woman. like i would love to buy an ink (if i was an artist) named that from a woman owned business
23:20 every effing time I let myself wonder what you could possibly have found offensive about something before you explain you unveil one of the wildest things I could’ve imagined
Would these men laugh if there were inks called "male suicide" or "male loneliness epidemic"?
"Its just a joke" explain the joke. Tell me exactly what you find funny about it, and how it relates to the color.
It's the fact that they lumped statutory rape along with other "edgy/gross but not deplorable" terms. They think it belongs with names like "diaper rash" and "golden shower." Gross enough to be funny, but not morally reprehensible enough to tarnish their brand. I don't see them naming inks after other crimes. Just the one about objectifying teenage girls, that's in their edgy sweet spot apparently.
As someone who was groomed into “consenting” to sleep with a 22 year old man… at 11/12 ish.. then my whole family turned against me and still to this day visit the man in jail.. just hearing her talk about this makes me shake. Not sure why but hearing someone outraged makes me happy I can’t believe I didn’t subscribe sooner ❤️❤️♥️♥️
