caitiedid ([info]caitiedid) wrote in [info]unfunny_fandom,
I know what you mean. The original comic didn't really bother me all that much - I didn't think it was funny at all and I definitely rolled my eyes, but I sort of just forgot about it. (I'm sure I would have had a much different reaction if I were a rape survivor or was close to one, though.) The thing that is really disgusting to me and the main problem, I think, is the fallout. Not just the T-shirt, but the reaction Mike and some of the more rabid, misogynistic fans have had to the critics, and Mike's unwillingness to apologize or even stop to see why he should apologize.

(I keep saying Mike, Mike, Mike - there are two guys who make Penny Arcade, but Jerry hasn't been very involved with this whole thing, as far as I've seen. I don't really know if that's a good thing or not.)
