Anyone who thinks that decal depicts a *consensual* sex act with a *17 year-old* should have to hand in their badge 660citynews.com/2020/02/28/rcm…
Also, defending it by saying that there are even more graphic and obscene stickers making the rounds in the oil sands just raises more red flags.
When experts said that there was a toxic culture in resource industry man camps that was putting women at risk, conservatives positively *scoffed* at the idea, said it was an insult.
Congratulations: you’re now defending an industry culture where sexual violence against children is so normalized, people don’t even think it’s particularly obscene.
The other defence offered is that a 17 year old isn’t a child.

The same defence offered by climate change deniers who were attacking Greta in the media.

Again, we see that Misogyny and climate denial go hand in hand.
Even if the police felt this didn’t meet the legal standard for child pornography, there was a big opportunity here to clarify what that standard is, as well as to talk about sexual assault and consent with respect to minors. Instead they’ve blurred the lines.
Any guess on how many of the people normalizing the sexualization of minors were spouting off about “law and order” earlier this week?
Any reasonable Albertans should be condemning this decal in the strongest possible words and actions.
