The Sexist: Sex and Gender in the District

Tucker Max Fans Fight Rape With Racism

Picture 13

Tucker Max’s message board has launched a Photoshop competition for the best reimagined protest signs from the “I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell” protests. Creative Max devotees are working off images from the film tour’s photostream in order to ridicule students from the NC State women’s center, which staged a Raleigh protest of the film. Predictably, the submissions are sexist (above). Since this is a contest to ridicule people who care about rape, sexism is to be expected. So why are the submissions so racist?

Picture 15

You can view all of the submissions here. I agree with some of Max’s defenders that “Tucker Max culture” encourages a hatred of pretty much everyone—not just women, fat women, or black people, but also white men who Max considers douchey. I don’t agree, however, that it hates everyone equally.

Some of Max’s fans have championed his committment to women’s rights because he believes that “women should be able to make their own choices.” Yes—Max believes that women should be allowed to choose just as much crazy drunken sex as he does. Except that when those women choose that path, they are publicly embarrassed, reduced to the size of their vaginas, and literally vomited upon for doing so, while Tucker Max is held up as a hero (albeit a hero who admits, jokingly or not, to hate himself).

But at least thin, white, able-bodied women are allowed that one choice: They can choose not to have sex, and be ignored; or they can choose to have as much sex as they want, and be labeled a “whore”. As the Photoshop contest shows, fat women and black men and women aren’t afforded that privilege among Max’s fans: their size and race is reason enough to bring on the hate.

    Are you sure that people who choose to have sex are ignored in Tucker Max’s world? I’d imagine there’s a touch of nice-guy syndrome, calling them cunts and so forth.

    Choose NOT to have sex, I mean. God, that would have been unclear….

    Amanda, at this point, I’m starting to believe that you just don’t understand comedy. Do you always interpret jokes with zero context, as if they’re not obviously intended to be absurd or sarcastic?

    If that’s the case, I eagerly await your articles on Sarah Silverman’s anti-Semitism.

    Or Daniel Tosh’s advocacy of beating your pregnant wife when she won’t make you a sandwich.

    Or Louis CK, who clearly believes rape is justifiable: “You should never rape anyone. Unless you have a reason, like you want to fuck them and they won’t let you.”

    Or, I don’t know, anyone that’s ever WRITTEN A JOKE.

    Boo hoo, mean jokes hurt my feelings.

  5. #5

    The facade begins to crumble…

    Amanda in some of the videos Tucker’s lackey singles out the one or two black fans and then berates them for being there. He’s such an ignorant idiot that he wants to limit his audience so he can stay inside his comfort zone.

  6. #6

    Boy, it sure looks like you are using Tucker Max to gain attention. It’s sad you can’t gain any fame from your own writing and you have to leach off of Tucker to do it.

    Pathetic actually

    Just because you find it funny doesn’t make this shit any more palatable or any less destructive to people who have spent their entire lives working towards eradicating this sort of hate. And if this is seriously COMEDY to you people, you really are living life at the lowest common denominator. It leaves out the whole, I don’t know, INTELLIGENCE necessary to create something really good. Sarcasm is the lowest form of humor because it’s so fucking easy. And don’t tell me that every single person who finds him funny understands that it’s sarcasm, ’cause frankly much of America would genuinely agree with Tucker Max’s ideas sans sarcasm.

    Oh, and as for the comedians you mentioned, they ARE funny, you’re right. That’s because their jokes generally consist of more than “so-and-so’s a fat bitch”. Louis’ rape joke is funny BECAUSE it manages to convey the ridiculousness of such a statement.

  8. #8

    Wow. Hate to say it as Tucker is a douche, but that shit is FUNNY!

  9. #9

    What? Tucker Max is still alive? How old is he now, like 50?

  10. #10

    God forbid that a human being doesn’t put every other person on the face of this planet on a fucking pedestal. But holy shit, some asshole even wrote about it and is making bank because of it?

  11. #11

    What do you expect from a guy who brags about not needing a woman’s consent before having sex, about filming their humiliation without their consent, about writing about them without their consent? It’s not a shock to me that he would take their pictures and mock with race without consent.

  12. #12

    I have never heard of this person in my life (until today) and will probably aim to never hear of him again. Just sounds like a male Paris Hilton. Say outlandish sexually related things and become famous while doing it. Haven’t we moved passed that?

  13. #13

    Man, I really love how the defense is “Oh, you just don’t understand comedy!”. I don’t think not finding this crap funny means you don’t have a sense of humor.

  14. #14

    God forbid that a human being doesn’t put every other person on the face of this planet on a fucking pedestal. I’m no expert, but I’m pretty sure that the majority of people can take a joke, and those that can’t usually are the fabricators of the most hateful of statements and ridiculous articles.

    The funny thing is that many times when there is a protest at a college, half of the students standing there ‘protesting’ don’t even know what they are protesting for. Political activism ought to be left to people that know what the fuck they are talking about, which means if you are not well versed on both sides of the arguments then you are an idiot who is doing more harm than good and needs to shut the fuck up.

    Now as for the pictures, it’s a contest for christ’s sake…I realize that many of you out there who play with yourselves while reading this angry feminist banter don’t have a penis, so let me explain something to you. Most guys are competitive by nature and if they’re not, they were either breast fed until the age of 12 or touched by there dad (OMG like totally a joke at someone’s expense…gasp!?!).

    The picture board is a fucking CONTEST (at someone else’s expense), so if one guy does something inappropriate and borderline offensive, you can bet your left ovary that the next guy on the list, is going to try his best to top that and in the process go over the top…it happens. If the second one is over the top, the third one sure as shit will be too, and for those of you who are math majors, this establishes a trend. This is not a difficult concept to grasp and I’m pretty sure there are more offensive pictures on the internet to throw a shit fit about.

    So for all of you ridiculous morons out there who are protesting Tucker Max and his contest, keep in mind that your reactions are simply elevating the response.

    Which if I’m not mistaken means you’re playing the ‘mine is bigger’ contest, but to play…you have to be able to laugh at yourself first.

    Tucker Max? That’s a blast from the past. His bullshit stories used to get emailed a few years back, largely for shock value. Nowadays read see much funnier (and cringe worthy) material on the web, or watch an intelligent satire like Borat in theaters. Tucker Max isn’t funny, unless you find humor is his racist, self-satisfied fairy tales.

  17. It's funny 'cause she suffers, right?

    Alex: “Most guys are competitive by nature and if they’re not, they were either breast fed until the age of 12 or touched by there dad (OMG like totally a joke at someone’s expense…gasp!?!).”

    Well, see, there’s your problem (aside from the apparent functional illiteracy). That’s not a joke. Shock, taboo, and profanity can be used in jokes, but, by themselves, they are not “jokes”. The fact that you find something funny does not make it a joke.

    That’s kind of the issue here: that a lot of people are disturbed that there is apparently a substantial population who can’t tell the difference between something horrible happening to someone, and comedy. These people are sometimes called “sociopaths”.

  18. #18

    Tucker Fax is a dinosaur in internet years. In 5 real life years no one will remember he or his idiot website even existed.

  19. #19

    Funny:

    Though I recognize that not everybody appreciates sarcasm in casual conversation and less people actually enjoy being insulted, that alone does not make it the trait of a sociopath. The very definition of a sociopath is one that does not conform to social norms, and I don’t know where you have been the last 20 years, but we’re already there.

    We’re a morally bankrupt country based on the need for bigger better and faster results. But guess what you get to do that makes you so special? You get to make a choice. You can abstain from supporting this writer and his life choices by not buying his fucking book and buying Charles Manson’s instead because there’s a guy who obviously made some intelligent choices in his life. (That was sarcasm, I know you had trouble picking up on it before)

    Since we’re on the subject of life choices, let’s discuss the differentiation between something horrible happening to someone and comedy. I’m not here to defend Tucker or any dip shit things he may have done, no matter how tragic or hilarious I may think they are. I’m here to dispute the argument that women apparently are powerless to control themselves once they are intoxicated. Now I am of the mind that a person (females are people too…look more sarcasm!) are able to make their own decisions. Now despite everything, people will inevitably make stupid decisions in their life. In fact I would be willing to bet my salary that there are multiple people right now making a stupid fucking choice in their life! Whether they lie, cheat, steal or drink to excess whatever their vice may be, it will happen. Now just because they eventually regret these painfully stupid events in their life and try to justify it by saying that they were victims of events outside of their control doesn’t nullify (double negative…I’m obviously not an english professor) their own personal responsibility.

    Am I going to fast?

    Now read this carefully because this part is important. EVERYBODY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS WHETHER THEY ARE INTELLIGENT OR VOID OF SUCH THOUGHT. THIS INCLUDES WHEN THEY ARE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL, DRUGS, FUNDAMENTALIST BELIEFS, MEDICATIONS, STOCKHOLM SYNDROME OR GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF. Just because you refuse to take responsibility for your own idiotic actions or even blame someone else for being apart of the decision does not clear you of any guilt. Now if you had carefully stepped down from your moral high horse with this detail in mind, we would probably be on quite similar ground.

    So to recap…when somebody writes a story about two people making EQUALLY piss poor decisions, don’t financially support their decisions by purchasing their product. It’s really quite simple and is (sadly) the basis for our capitalistic society. Equally important is when a person exercises their right to bitch, moan and protest when their not even versed in what you are arguing about…said person looks like an idiot.

    And to end it with yet ANOTHER double negative (what can I say, I’m an over achiever). Just because you don’t find it funny or lack a sense of humor all together (Dr’s indicate a direct correlation between low self esteem and no sense of humor)….

    Wait for it….

    Doesn’t mean it’s not humorous.

    Thou shall not judge

  20. #20

    I’d rather read the Twilight series than a page Tucker Max or whoever wrote.

  21. #21

    EJ: That’s a bold statement. But probably true.

    Also: I watched a clip of Tucker being interviewed by some radio shock jocks. He was “attempting” to retell the story about how he had a friend tape him having anal sex for the first time.

    The story was clearly a lie…he couldn’t get the details straight. He makes stuff up for the purpose of shock and entertainment…but here’s the thing: the story wasn’t funny or entertaining. Unless you’re 5 and you still think jokes about bodily functions are hilarious.

    Hmm.

  22. #22

    jules: The thing that struck me about that story was that Max really, really wanted to have anal sex, even surveyed gay men for advice before he did it, and then was shocked and appalled when he got some shit on his dick. Seriously, dude? Educate yourself.

  23. #23

    Alex:

    Everyone knows that women can make their own choices. We can make the choice to have sex, but then we’re promiscuous. We can make the choice to wear clothes that are revealing, but then we’re called sluts. We can make the choice to drink, but then we’re asking to be raped. See? Of course we can make our own choices. We just don’t get nearly as much shit for them as men do. Of course we could limit the things we do to not get called these names but then that wouldn’t give us much of this choice you speak of.

    Men can also control themselves when they’re drunk. I’ve never been so wasted that I’ve started to force myself on a guy. Men don’t have an excuse.

  24. #24

    Correction: Men don’t get as much shit for their choices as women do.

  25. #25

    Amanda: Right! Which is what further leads me to believe the story is a giant hoax! He shouldn’t have been surprised that he got crapped on, he should have expected and been prepared for it. Even we heteros know that.

  26. #26

    I think if you have people around you that would still label you a slut for being promiscuous, but not label a man a slut for doing the same- you’re hanging out with the wrong crowd. If you can’t own up to your actions, don’t do them. Stop bitching about stereotypes and just accept that if you sleep around, man or woman, people are going to name call. Boo fucking hoo. Are you not secure enough in yourself to ignore it?

    I’m a woman, hell- i’m a stay at home mom, and guess what? Tucker Max is funny. If you can’t grasp the humor, put it down and walk away, it isn’t meant for you in the first place.

    And to whomever said Tucker Max would be gone in 5 years, an “internet dinosaur”.. people said that about him 5 years ago, and now he’s making a movie.

    What’s with people not doing their research (at least a GOOGLE search for God’s sake) before crapping all over something?
    It’s crapping all over something just because everyone else is without any knowledge of factual basis behind it.

    Keep going with the herd guys & gals- you’re all SO cool to be exactly the same!

  27. #27

    scratch that: MADE a movie, that will no doubt be popular whether you feminist types like it or not.

  28. #28

    Max owes you a debt of gratitude for playing into his marketing hand. You’re helping to create buzz around his movie (negative or positive, it doesn’t matter). It should be treated like an insect bite–leave it alone and eventually it’ll go away, or in this case, to a DVD bargain bin.

    I am not a big Tucker fan, but if this s**t evokes this kind of reaction from a bunch of needle-dicks, I’m all for him continuing to sponsor such affrontery. I am sure am sorry it offended Amanda Hess’ delicate sensibilities. Maybe she can go tutor some inner-city children to make herself feel better.

    The “This fat b***h is blocking my sign” sign is off the charts hilarious.

  31. #31

    ChibiK629 :

    Hold on, I’m about to reiterate everything Jenny just said,

    I absolutely couldn’t agree with you more on that one, women and minorities in this country have received the proverbial shaft when it comes to scrutiny. If she’s dressed to flaunt what she haves then OBVIOUSLY she is a whore (sarcasm) If there was a gang shooting, it was OBVIOUSLY a minority (also sarcasm). Is it fair? Not in any way shape or form, but to make stereotypes is to be human and everybody has their preconceptions. What I disagree with is letting it affect the way you live your life.

    There is one person on this planet that should give a flying fuck about how you live your life and that is yourself (Well…God too if you’re religious). You’re the only person that has live with what you have done and if you’re satisfied with the decisions you have made…then fuck everybody else. God forbid you don’t have their approval, then you might be able to live your life without their idiotic input. Should that same moron open their mouth to criticize you are call you a whore/slut/cunt…whatever. Instead of saying “fuck you”, just laugh in their face, that will really piss them off because you have blatantly dismissed whatever half-wit statement that came out of their mouth.

    All of this is easier said then done though and apart of being human is needing acceptance, but when you show yourself THAT kind of respect…people notice.

    I also agree with the statement that men can control themselves when they’re drunk. Of course they can, let’s not be ridiculous. But I’m not responsible for all the other fucksticks out there who are so desperate to get laid that they would do just about anything and then blame it on the alcohol. I have already discussed personal responsibility. But being a person who is fully in control of yourself you can remove yourself from this risk by drinking with those you trust and actually thinking about what you do before you do it. Just like I don’t walk on the bad side of town at night wearing gang colors, this should all be common sense.

    Unfortunately, common sense implies that everybody has it…but I’m fairly certain that over the past 100 years it has been bred out of the human race.

    jules:

    Really? You’re gonna make fun of his radio interview? “Unless your 5″ and can’t relate to people who HATE talking in front of an audience. I guess I didn’t know it was make fun of Tucker Max day.

    Oh wait…in feminist land EVERYDAY is make fun of Tucker Max Day!

    Jesus, even I hate public speaking, god forbid if I was on the radio…I would probably just throw up. No words, just vomit. So for him to forget some of the details on a national radio program? Forgivable.

    Now granted, my wife doesn’t think that particular story is humorous either but that doesn’t mean I don’t find parts of it funny. Personally, I think he should of went with the shitting in the hotel lobby story…now that one is HILARIOUS.

    Better him than me.

    And yes, I absolutely still find toilet humor funny.

  32. #32

    Dear Author:

    Keep in mind, this is a STORY. I will not dispute the level of fiction or non to it, but like your articles, they are written to an audience.

    I’m getting the impression though, Tucker didn’t have you in mind as his target audience. This is a shocker, I know.

    The guy is not Alexander Dumas or Ayn Rand. It’s a fucking story he wrote about him wanting to do anal, do you see a lack of depth in there? It’s meant to be a collection of humorous anecdotes about his personal misadventures, it’s Patrick F. McManus – Outdoors + Alcohol + Sex.

    Now as much as I would like to belittle you for emphatically taking this book out of context, I will restrain because you obviously are an expert since you have read one of his stories. Keep in mind that I adamantly hate the movie Borat and think it is fucking ridiculous, but I’ve still seen the whole thing. Somehow though, I have kept myself from writing about it in an internet forum and continually attacking it’s over the top delivery.

    Now since Tucker didn’t write you asking you to put an endorsement on his book, I’m fairly certain that he could give two shits what you (or anybody else) really thinks.

    Call me crazy, I just have a feeling.

  33. #33

    Alex:

    The problem with the stereotypes about women’s behavior is that it justifies violence against them. Saying that a woman shouldn’t have been drunk or shouldn’t have been wearing a short skirt is used to justify rape all the time. Instead of focusing on rapists as the wrongdoers, we spend all our time focusing the conversation about what SHE did wrong. We hear this kinda bullshit all the time so it’s no wonder why it’s so normalized in our brains to start questioning victims and scrutinizing them for what they could have done to prevent themselves from being attacked. I wish it were as simple as “I don’t give a fuck what people think of me, I’m gonna be who I am.” It does matter what people think when they are the juries on rape trials and the men and women in society who have to call out rape as the wrong and evil thing that it is.

    I personally don’t put myself in high risk situations. I know something bad could happen to me if I got heavily drunk on a night out. Just like I could seriously get into an altercation if I walked out late at night on the bad side of town wearing gang colors. However, if I did get into an attacked wearing gang colors, I can guarantee you that everyone would see my attackers for what they were- violent criminals. And if I were raped, I can guarantee you that the conversation would be focused around “What was she doing out at that time?” as opposed to focusing on my attacker for what he was- a violent criminal.

  34. #34

    Remind me what this has to do with Rape? Demeaning and/or having mutually drunken sex with another party does not constitute rape, it IS the half retarded third cousin and by no means the model of proper behavior. Now I realize that this is an insult to your high moral values, thinking that every woman who has ever had sex while intoxicated was raped…but just because you regret your actions the next day does not make it rape.

    The fact that we live in a society that endorses a lack of personal responsibility absolutely fucking kills me. I HATE the fact that criminals get off scott free on technicalities, but regret is NOT a technicality. These days I don’t think criminals should get attorneys, thiefs should get their hands chopped off, rapists should lose whichever sex organ they have (this includes teachers that sleep with their students), graffiti artists their pointer fingers, wife beaters should be beaten within an inch of their lives and murderers? Well, I think you know where I’m going with it.

    Do you remember that asshole american kid who painted up some car and was caught in Singapore? Do you think after he was caned he ever did that again? I seriously doubt it.

    I dated a woman who was raped in a Wal-Mart parking lot before I met my wife (I hate Wal-Mart). THAT was a violent crime against her will by multiple attackers. When I met her, we hooked up at a party and dated for a while afterwards…maybe it seems less “rapey” because I dated her or because I didn’t demean her. But for you to simply state that drunken sex + demeaning = rape is asinine.

    In fact, in this entire forum I have yet to see one person who can quantify these actions as rape. Mostly because the majority of people writing don’t even know what the fuck they are arguing for or against, maybe it just injures their delicate sensibilities…I have no idea.

    You sure like to throw the word around like it’s going out of style though, you should be ashamed.

  35. #35

    “The problem with the stereotypes about women’s behavior is that it justifies violence against them”

    That’s why I hate people who justify their actions, but I digress

  36. #36

    I’m not ashamed of anything. Don’t tell me what I should be. For you to explain that your example of rape is what a rape should be is asinine. There’s more to rape than the “stranger in the bushes” model. I’m not talking about regretting actions. I’m talking about a guy who purposely uses alcohol as a means of coercion. Videotaping a woman during sex without her consent? That’s what I’m talking about. It’s a sexual assault.

    Leaving the rape thing alone, Tucker Max still dehumanizes women. A woman isn’t a “cum dumpster” and she is a real person. You can’t tell me quotes like that don’t completely make women worthless objects and therefore okay to humiliate and demean. That is precisely what contributes to a rape culture.

    Anyway, this is going to be last post. This topic is boring me.

  37. #37

    At least we agree on that much…I’m done, the concept is beyond you…I get it. Maybe I’ll put it on one of those picketing signs and submit it.

    Then you can take IT out of context! Hurray!

    i am a mod on tucker’s board. that means i have access to his private forum that normal users cant see. there are many of us. he coordinates his fake positive reviews on amazon and coordinates attacks on negative reviewers on this forum. the attackers of the author of this article are tucker, ryan holiday (he also works PR for american apparel), and other loyal mods. dont be fooled. its teh same group of people posting from their blackberries/iphones with dynamic-looking IPs. hey tucker.

  40. #40

    in reality, tucker has about 50 hardcore fans, but he makes it seem like there are thousands. its pretty funny how a little bit of delusion can fool a bunch of people. but it wont last.

    Call me lucky but I don’t even know who this piece of shit is; you on this site shouldn’t even give him the fcking space…Very telling that somebody who espouses such ideas has even a handful of followers. I’d send them all to the ovens!

    Tucker Max does women a valuable service! If you’re getting to know a guy, and you find out he’s a fan, you know it’s time to bail. It’s an emergency early-warning system for assholes. Faux-edgy “ironic”* bigotry is only funny if you’re a 15-year-old or have the maturity of one.

    Don’t be jealous Amanda – if I looked like you i wouldn’t want to really to venture outside into the real world, past message boards where I would have to show my face either.

    I don’t really understand your argument – how can you possibly think Tucker Max condones rape? Who (apart from the disgusting few) actually condones rape? Do you have any proof that he rapes girls, especially when around half his audience ARE GIRLS? Good argument.

    As for the racism, this just shows how thinly veiled and irrelevant your article is. A huge majority of the message board are black themselves, many joining in and photoshopping those signs in the very thread! Stop commenting on topics which you clearly have no idea about, and are going to make no difference about – apart from give Tucker even more free coverage for his movie.

    You can’t write and from your horrific looks and views, are a complete failure in life.

  45. #45

    Tucker Max and crew are trying really hard to hold onto their rapidly slipping power… bye-bye white men! You no longer rule the world, but you can make recycled derivative race/pussy jokes and use photo shop. What is actually more outrageous is that Tucker Max and crew get millions of dollars to make bad movies, WTF?

  46. #46

    I don’t even know where to start. There are so many things I could write after reading the comments here, but mostly, I’m coming away with the feeling that most people are assholes. I can’t even believe half of the shit that’s been said here.

    Seriously, just look at “I’m better than you” ’s last post. Dude, that was just plain mean.

  47. #47

    “I agree with some of Max’s defenders that “Tucker Max culture” encourages a hatred of pretty much everyone—not just women, fat women, or black people, but also white men who Max considers douchey. I don’t agree, however, that it hates everyone equally.”

    That’s political correctness right there. Remember to hate everyone equally!

    Come on man, this is the most idiotic discussion I’ve ever seen.

  48. #48

    I’ve read tucker max’s stories. I even found some of them funny. I don’t have any doubt that this movie will be a huge failure, and that blame for that failure will be shifted onto some outside factor. It is going to be a terrible film, but Tucker Max’s hardcore fan base seems to consider him a god, and that delusional overgrown fratboy has bought into it.

  49. #49

    “The fact that we live in a society that endorses a lack of personal responsibility absolutely fucking kills me.” Yes Alex – I agree! Good for you. Bravo for your profound thoughts. Now when some idiot has sex with an unbalanced alcoholic, degrades her and then finds himself falsley accused of rape he should take responsibility. He put himself in the situation. He had the sleazy sex advocated by Max. He was the irresponsible hedonist. The cheap boyslut should take responsibility and not whine like the boys from Long Island? As for the misogyny, yes dear, Max’s sexism crosses that line. If I made the same degrading remarks about sexually active men that would certainly reflect a deep seated hatred towards them. Now take some personal responsibility and be honest. And I’m sure the boys who raped your wife also like Max.

  50. #50

    Wow, I have to admit these doctored photos are pretty funny. Tucker is kind of a jerk, but having his fans photoshop these images really was a stroke of genius. The fact that he hasn’t given in to political correctness is admirable.

    RE: *beep* FINISH FIRST, Secretive Tapings of Anal Sex without The Girl’s Consent, Corporate Douchebaggery, and the Epic Failure of I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell

    “Little Italy is fighting back against Tucker Max’s controversial ad campaign. Yeah, that poster on the right says, “Blind Girls Never See You Coming.” Va fan culo, indeed.” –http://gothamist.com/2009/09/21/tucker_max.php

    Dear Ms. Painton,

    I and my colleagues in the ART, FILM & LITERATURE GUILD have a couple questions regarding the direction you are taking Simon and Schuster in. Why are you guys/gals hating on art, literature, culture and America? It was recently brought to our attention that you are intent on publishing Tucker Max’s *beep* FINISH FIRST, and that your company actually gave him a $300,000 advance for his fart art. As the editor in chief of Simon and Schuster, owned the CBS corporation, do you truly believe *beep* Finish First? It is oft said that girls like “bad boys.” Does Tucker’s fart art douchebag wit titillate and excite you? Is that why you are publishing and profiting from it? Did you laugh during Tucker’s recent film flop when what’s-his-name stated that overweight women aren’t real people? Do you smile smugly when your billion-dollar corporation profits from douchebaggery?

    Anybody that finds this funny, man or woman, is clearly a heartless and shameless animal. They are hypocrites, since I am sure if it is their daughters, sisters or mothers, and loved ones that are at the butts of tucker’s jokes, then they would sing a different tune. What in the hell is so funny by writing “I am mad because no one will rape me” please explain that to me. If that sign said “I am mad because you’ mama wants to be raped because she’s a ho’”, referencing your mothers and sisters and daughters, then you will all be the “feminists” since your women were the targets, but since you feel falsely proud of yourselves and its other people’s sisters, mothers, daughterss, etc,, then you dismiss it as nonsense. These college protestors know what they are talking about Alex, this is a clear issue, the one’s who do not know head to heal are the one’s defending the scumbag max tucker.

    Since when is not following the rules/laws and not having manners and not being sensitive to people’s feelings A BAD THING? People here embracing this guy just for pushing the buttons, then they should admire Hitler or Jack the Ripper or terrorists or someones that harms/hurts/degrades someone that they(the defenders) love, since these so-called “heroes” are “not obeying the law” and for “being rebellious” and for “not being politically correct”. Since some people here are making excuses for rape, what is ther left to hold on to, waht is there left to trust in humanity or this world?

    Sorry, I meant to say “Since when is not following the rules/laws and not having manners and not being sensitive to people’s feelings NOT A BAD THING?” sorry for the typo. That is the point I was trying to make, people gratifying tucker for being bad and evil, and mocking us who stand against injustice towards our fellow human beings. A real man has a heart, otherwise he is just a DICK.
