Discounting for a moment that these are targeted at a college-age demographic, are there people out there on the verge of committing sexual assault who would be swayed by the advise of a cartoon taco?

Do you actually believe that there is only “rapists” and “good people” in this world? Because no, there are indeed lots of stupid teenagers out there who genuinely do not understand how to talk to people. This poster is not just about straight up rape but also about unsolicited saying of weird shit, or non-consensual hugging and things of that nature.
No this poster alone wont change anything, but if kids are primed for awareness to these issues (from lessons, events or experiences) this poster might just remind someone of those things they learned.
Either way it doesnt hurt anyone…
Not my intention to disparage the effort or make light of the problem.
But to see such weighty subject matter addressed by a cartoon at a college level is both surreal and terrifying.
Meh.
It got your attention
College kids are just slightly larger children, it’s not really that weird
Great point! Also it isn’t just teenagers, adults do this a lot, too! Also I’d venture a guess that most rape is accidental and borne from a lack of education rather than malicious. Doesn’t make it less rape, but it does challenge our views of what a “rapist” looks like.
When we understand we are all capable of rape, we can all help to prevent it and change into better people.
