i really enjoy this though:
http://www.designrape.com/rapetv…
with an abundance of sarcasm, i'd like to note that i'm not kidding about liking that piece.
it's starting get warm and fuzzy, but i'd like to ask dino sincerely, in the Philipines does the word 'rape' not have the same social connotation that some of us have described previous?

You swearing at me in tagalog now, rap2r?
You could at least swear in english so everyone else could understand.

hey thanks sauerbraten. rape in our country is the same as what all of you descirbed but we have no intention of hurting anybody or advertise rape in any way.

i don't know if you even gave an answer as to why you're using suggestive language, images of (what i feel is dehumanizing, "faceless") women, and maybe i'm reading into the bloody splatter thing..
the style of your site is reinforcing what you're denying as the common connotation of rape.
explain.

ok, sorry
Ilocano, not tagalog

we're not changing the name but we'll do something about those faceless women. we'll just remove them for all of you to be happy. :-)
- sauerbraten0
look, don't change anything to make us here on NT be happy.
After reading some stuff on your site, there's obviously nothing malicious going on in what you have set up there, however the manner in which you decided to do it and the 'theme' you chose is what's getting the fallout.

hey thanks. the designrape team has decided to redesign some parts of the site. thanks to all your comments. we really appreciated all of it. after all, this is just our second day on the web. :-) but we're not changing the name. :-)

To rely on such shock elements involving sex, violence, and death to get quick attention is nothing new .
I agree that the term "rape" does carry serious negative connotations, which will definitely offend a number of viewers, but apart from trying to be creative and unique, if their intention was just to create a controversy, they are successful for that matter .

yup, i think so and i think it stands for: what would jesus design? :-)
- sauerbraten0
Christ and Adrian Frutiger are tight i've heard.. Jesus uses Avenir religiously and he also uses Dante sometimes, which is ironic..
- dudedino0
hi sauerbraten. i don't know anything bout that.
- sauerbraten0
typography jokes that's all..
i want to see more finger fighting though, keep that shit going!

I think rape and design could be connected in many ways, especially date-rape, design can be very underhanded, very cruel, and can be very easily used as a tool to hurt someone. If you found better ways to draw parralels between the way that design can be likened to the act of seizing and carrying off by force (which i think it can be said to do) then you'd have quite an interesting point to communicate. I must admit i don't really see the connection between you abusing your tools as being a very strong parralel to draw, but i think the idea has a lot of potential.

so everybody's trying to look like juries or something. im just sick of it. leave the guys alone man. ive seen the site and there's nothing malicious about it. open your minds. its their problem. dont make it yours too. im sure everybody's got a shit load to do. do it rather than putting down other people. its just a site damnit! keep that in mind.

i agree, i'm trying to point this thread into a more constructive route. wonder how much we'd get done if we unplugged the internet, wow.
