{"id":"rape-culture","name":"Rape Culture","summary":"\"Rape culture\" is the feminist argument that sexual assault is normalized through jokes, victim blaming, and social attitudes about sex and gender. Coined by New York Radical Feminists in a 1974 book and popularized by a 1975 documentary of the same name, the term became one of the internet's most contested feminist arguments during the 2010s YouTube culture wars.","tags":["rape culture","feminism","New York Radical Feminists","Laci Green","Christina Hoff Sommers","RAINN","YouTube culture war"],"howToUse":[],"imageCount":7,"nsfw":false,"images":[{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/rape-culture/rape-culture-end-rape-culture-protest-sign.webp","caption":"A demonstrator holds an 'End Rape Culture' sign at a street protest, an image often used to represent the movement against rape culture.","width":445,"height":453,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/rape-culture/rape-culture-flammable-clothing-satire-comments.webp","caption":"A satirical article and comment thread lampooning victim-blaming tropes commonly used against rape survivors by substituting fire for sexual assault.","width":540,"height":1465,"nsfw":true},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/rape-culture/rape-culture-saynotomistletoe-4chan-hoax.webp","caption":"A 4chan post and follow-up tweets from the #SayNoToMistletoe hoax, in which trolls attempted to convince feminists that mistletoe promotes rape culture.","width":633,"height":1920,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/rape-culture/rape-culture-tumblr-rape-culture-definition-debate.webp","caption":"A Tumblr exchange debating the definition and scope of rape culture, one of many social media discussions the term has generated.","width":658,"height":770,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/rape-culture/rape-culture-grape-rake-ape-culture-puns.webp","caption":"A viral Tumblr thread of rhyming puns ('grape culture,' 'rake culture,' 'cape culture') mocking the phrase, along with a heated reply denouncing the jokes.","width":656,"height":656,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/rape-culture/rape-culture-rolling-stone-batman-retraction-parody.webp","caption":"A satirical mock article referencing Rolling Stone's retracted 'A Rape on Campus' story by reframing it as a Batman/Talia Al Ghul controversy.","width":582,"height":576,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/rape-culture/rape-culture-sims-fight-rape-culture-tumblr.webp","caption":"A Sims 3 Tumblr post mocking social justice warrior stereotypes with the caption 'beep beep outta the way gotta go fight the rape culture.'","width":582,"height":576,"nsfw":false}],"historyUrl":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/rape-culture/history.md","related":["anita-sarkeesian","ghostbusters-reboot-controversy","feminism","dr-ally-louks-olfactory-ethics-the-politics-of-smell-in-modern-and-contemporary-prose-phd-study","check-your-privilege","feminist-nazi","we-can-do-it","who-needs-feminism","yesallwomen","big-red","im-just-a-girl","male-tears"],"popularityRank":2240,"license":"Meme images and history: templates, screenshots, photos and fan edits, many of copyrighted material or real people.
