Ooh I wonder if any of these 59 comments are from dudes who think this is an actual product and not an art piece intended to spark discussion about the importance of consent
Rapists love using condoms I’m sure
it was an art piece, not a serious product idea. they weren’t pitching it to Trojan, all it purported to do was make a “statement.”
it’s like an OmegaMart product, basically.
Not leaving DNA evidence would be a good idea if you were planning a crime.
Issue is, rape is already not being taken seriously as a crime, so they don’t really have to care.
Depends on the context and your gender
Given how often cops test rape kits, I’m not sure it would matter :(
Fair point.
Something tells me most rapists aren’t all that bright.
Smart and decent aren’t synonymous
One armed people can’t consent.
They can only consent with three armed people
Or 4 one-armed people
They can’t use iTunes so FUCK EM WHO NEEDS THEM
Honest question: context?
(Not defending Apple, just curious)
Haha, thanks!
Is this based on an actual lack of accessibility or just because?
It’s basic science.
Does it beat carrying these & wearing them in all orifices at all times?
Can you chew?
Que?
If by “powerful statement about consent” you mean bullshit marketing, sure.
How many parents are going to have to get their kids to figure out how to open it?
How many more are just going to toss it aside, and say, “Pitter patter, let’s get at 'er!”
Do You think he has 2 dicks?
I hope so
If he does they are tucked away
Do rapists stop to put on condoms?
Well know they won’t be able too…
Machomp does
I can guarantee people are going to be too dumb to figure it out lol
Throw these out in nature and it’ll make for some very interesting bear encounters.
Please, keep taking consent more to the extreme
The social deregulation of sex (it used to go hand in hand with marriage, even in Europe!) has created a bit of chaos.
I, for one, enjoy not living in a Puritan theocracy.
All-or-nothing thinking is not too productive… and nobody said hedonism wasn’t fun!
Marriage didn’t do much for consent 🤷
I have a feeling that signing a whole legal document/ screaming to the four winds (both families included) you will be having sex with this person did a lot for consent. But I understand, marital rape. Divorce is a thing though, and always should have been, but some cultures have been historically more brutally misogynistic than others…
Yeah women have famously never had really really bad times with marriage
You know how the suicide rate among women plummeted when no-fault divorce became a thing? Total coincidence
It should’ve always been a thing and in certain places of the world it was. Don’t complain about your past cultural norms when I’m advocating for the mere social recognition/public announcement and acceptance of a couple of people of age and reason, which is what I’m talking about here when I say ‘marriage’. Women used to be witches to be burned at the stake in the West not too long ago, I’m not at all surprised that women are disregarded and abused still…
Wealth inequality is basically the only issue that matters. Every other problem stems from that.
No, people are aimless and in times of great wealth they just turn to hedonism and lose sight of the bigger picture. Man needs more than bread…
People making choices for themselves doesn’t fit in your world view?
Everyone makes choices for themselves. That’s an attempt at a childish hedonistic argument (“bro, YOLO, why so serious?”). Marriage is nothing more and nothing less than publicly asserting your decision to be a couple and start a family unit, with the assent of your community. Today there are rites and legal documents to sign but it’s the same at its core, which is why cohabitation laws making some sense. If you’ve met the in laws and take your partnership seriously, that’s it. But many people today are pure unthinking hedonists and way past the age of discovery (+25, c’mon, even your brain is fully formed!), or too fearful to start a relationship with another human being in earnest, and that’s it I guess.
“Marriage is nothing more and nothing less than publicly asserting your decision to be a couple and start a family unit, with the assent of your community.”
Wrong. Marriage is legally binding and affects people’s taxes and medical authority.
Dwight, you’re not understanding what I’m saying.
Yeah, those people are ridiculous. Unthinking hedonists are the worst. That’s why I only hang out with thinking hedonists. We do thorough research on the drugs we use to understand the potential downsides, risks, and benefits, and we carefully consider who to allow into our orgies based not only on looks, but also on how likely they are to have stis or cause drama. Reasonably considered hedonism is a much better way to live your life.
Funnily enough, I agree with the sentiment, lol. Life is supposed to be responsibly enjoyable, where you draw the lines is what matters.
“SHUT THE F UP YOU UGLY BISH BEFORE I KILL YOU”
whimpers
“Now put a hand in each corner and pull gently, please. Thank you.”
struggles to open
“screw this, I’ll do without”
Exactly, this is just going to have more rawdogging. Or an unaltered amount. What if one of the participants is missing an arm? They have to have a threesome now?
it was an art installation for (literally) fuck’s sake! how are people thinking this was an actual product?
Because not everyone has an exhaustive knowledge about every item that’s ever been in an art installation, and this is being presented like it’s an actual product. Congratulations on your superior intellect, I guess.
I wasn’t trying to stunt. It’s not an intellect thing, it’s just a habit:
When you see something cringe or absurd, take a beat, look for context. Sometimes cringe is cringe, but a lot of ragebait is information deliberately presented out of context to cause a reaction.
idk, I didn’t mean to sound patronizing, it’s just a gripe I have with social media in general.
only 4 hands? i regularly encounter packaging for other things that require 15 hands and small industrial machinery to open
Emphasis on statement because this has no practical use. Just like those Ben & Jerry’s ice cream locks.
It was just an art piece, but ever since it took a meme form people took it as an actual product
This. Oh no, the ice cream tub has a lock on it? Guess I’ll make another opening
*grabs a kitchen knife*Same for this. Oh no, she won’t consent? Then we’re doing it raw!
^(kids, this is a terrible excuse to fuck over your future. Don’t be a fool, wrap your tool.)^
Can it be two pairs of hands?
The last time I asked my parents to come in and help open up my condoms my (now ex, for some strange reason) gf got all upset. Got dressed, and left.
Plus it took ages to get me out of my gimp costume!!!
