  That’s not what the campaign is saying. The statues are just being used as a visually striking metaphor for sexual harassment. It’s cheaper and more effective to put some placards on a statue vs spending the time to design posters that nobody will look at.

    The three statues “visibly show the decades of assaults by passersby,” Terre des Femmes said.

    Good idea, fully support it

    this little bit is bad

    saying statues can get assaulted does more harm than good

    hope it’s a mistranslation

  Did you read the post? The point is using the status as very clear symbolism, bringing attention to the issue of sexism violence in society.

  It’s a creative campaign to help people, not to try condemn the touching of statues.

      Okey, I thought that exclamation was enough to omit “/s”

      Turns out, it was not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Dozens of studies have been carried out over decades and every single one has shown that video games do not cause violence.
