Thread: Rape Culture or Overreaction?

Brewer criticized for blonde beer it claims

Deep Ellum Brewing is selling its American Blonde Ale beer with an image on the can of a doll wearing a blonde wig with the slogan, "goes down easy," as part of a marketing campaign to celebrate a year since the drink was first released.

"If there are women out there who are offended, then we should apologize."
- Deep Ellum owner John Reardon

While the craft beer industry has no shortage of clever, if not slightly offensive labels, Genevieve Cato,who writes for the political blog Burnt Orange Report, says this one goes too far.

"Shouldn't we expect more of our local Texas breweries than to rely on rape culture to sell their beer?"

Overreaction by far, It's like saying "Less Filling equates to Sexual Promiscuity"

I'm not sure what it has to do with rape. I can see how some would find it offensive (nobody that I'd want to hang out with), but it's hardly rape-endorsing.

I agree with you guys.

I am offended...that someone got offended. Welcome to the pussification of America. I am sorry if that last sentence offended anyone, wait, no I'm not.

Anyone tried Deep Ellum Dallas Blonde?

A friend of mine likes the brewery, but I haven't tried it personally.

"goes down easy" is the opposite of rape. Some people need to learn English before popping off. The slogan is part of the hook-up culture. A rape slogan would be more like "turning no into yes since 2003"

I've tried a Dallas blonde before but the one from California was much more satisfying.

Meh.
