Arizona restaurant forced to close its doors permanently after pro-Annoying Orange FB post

[Deus Ex]

Obviously the tactic here is to keep attacking the same point! No. It's not victim blaming, I've already explained in length as to why.

I'm not saying they deserved it, because they didn't. I'm saying they should have expected this sorta fallout, because this response has clear precedent. If you think that's victim blaming, you're an idiot.

"I'm not saying she deserved to be raped - but she should've expected it, wearing something like that, haha"

I mean if you wear raunchy and suggestive clothing as you walk down the streets of a high-crime area, especially at night, you should expect something to happen. It's a no brainer, don't wear loveual clothing in a high-risk area at night.

Just like this situation, they should've expected something like this to happen for posting that on social media. They didn't deserve it, but should have expected it.

do you agree that victims of crimes have some responsibility for putting themselves into situations that increased their chance of being victimized?

Since you're too dense to grasp this concept of why it's a false equivalence, blaming rape victims for dressing wrong is victim blaming because the way they dress didn't lead to the rape. If the owners of the restaurant didn't post what they did, this response wouldn't have happened. That's the clear difference here.

Plus, rape is fifteen loving million leagues of severity above empty threats and slander. You're being melodramatic.

I'm suggesting that maybe, just maybe, you should be careful about what you post on the internet because this sort of response has precedent. How many times to I have to express this point?? Why do you keep cutting it out of the quotes?

"I'm not saying she deserved to be raped - but she should've expected it, wearing something like that, haha"

Since you failed to elaborate, I'm going to just assume you can't.

Does anyone else feel like the post that the article described was just... too controversial? Not as in I personally take offense to it, but like it sounds like it just had everything thrown in there. I wouldn't think twice if a restaurant posted that they support the US government fully, or to just say "we are a proudly christian restaurant," that's wouldn't strike me as unusual at all. But to have both of them, and then to add in repealing the ACA, stupid NFL drama, and stuff that practically everyone cares about like the bill of rights, military and first responders..? Oh and let's just toss in a bunch of other random conservative stuff like fake news, global warming, anitfa, and heck, why not talk show hosts who don't share my views. And then it gets ended off with some pretentious "share if you like and if you dont well share anyway cause we dont want you here."

The thing just sounds like every fibre of its being is trying to stir controversy purposely. Like it was trying to get a certain reaction.

the answer i was looking for comes from someone who has not previously participated in this conversation, go figure

Don't keep toasters near the bathtub

the argument of wearing "suggestive" clothing increases chances of rape is still stupid and i dont know why people still use it

Yeah, that was my point all along. Then deus ex and kearn had to come along and muddy the waters with their false equivalence stuff because they're mad I suggested what I did but aren't articulate enough to refute it.

Just now noticed this, and I 100% agree with this. In today's current political climate, everyone and their dog knows better than to do something like this, so it makes me think that is was on purpose.

imo the restaurant took a risk, and it backfired. personally i wouldn't demonize them and if i was a patron before i still would be, and this whole 'forced to close its doors' thing is terrible.

the people making death threats are the real problem here. the restaurant is a business and what they share could hurt their business, but i still think they have the right to. it's really more of a cause and effect issue

So basically "Yes we are victim blaming"
