oh no people disregard the feelings of inanimate objects!
seriously, this is like saying video games 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.

Good idea, fully support it
this little bit is bad

saying statues can get assaulted does more harm than good
hope it's a mistranslation
Did you read the post? The point is using the status as very clear symbolism, bringing attention to the issue of sexual violence in society.
It's a creative campaign to help people, not to try condemn the touching of statues.
Wait are you denying that women get harassed, raped, sexually harassed way to much? Wtf is wrong with you?
Do they not‽

shouldn't have omitted the "/s"

Okey, I thought that exclamation was enough to omit "/s"

Dozens of studies have been carried out over decades and every single one has shown that video games do not cause violence.
So does violence cause video games?
Very likely.
Inconclusive.
Yeah, I know, I was trying to be sarcastic but only turned out the usual stupid
