Greta Thunberg responds to sexually explicit graphic featuring Alberta oil company logo
Earlier this week, a sexually explicit cartoon surfaced depicting Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and featuring the logo of the Canadian oil company X-site. The image sparked outrage and an investigation by the Canadian federal police. Thunberg responded on Saturday: "They are starting to get more and more desperate ... This shows that we’re winning."

Narang said she called the general manager of X-Site, Doug Sparrow, asking him if he knew about the sticker that appears to depict the rape of a minor. He said he was aware of it, according to Narang, and his response was, “She’s not a child, she’s 17.”

1. "She's not a child, she's 17."

I wonder if he'd care to tell us at what age a girl or woman does become fair game for a depiction of rape.

[EndlessWire]

6. I agree.

[rickyhall]

14. In Texas and other states 18 is not child, 17 is pedophilia.

[lunatica]

15. The topic is rape, not pedophilia

There is no legal age where rape is legal.

[soldierant]

17. There are multiple topics here. One is whether 17 is a child.

In Colorado (as in Texas), 17 is a child.

All rape is illegal. Statutory rape is easier to prove.

[lunatica]

19. The distinction muddies the water

The CEO of this oil company was dismissing the question about raping a child by saying Greta is not a child. In some minds he managed to change the subject from one of rape to one of consensual age. By falling into bickering about what laws make women minors is the real crime of rape is made secondary.

It’s an old trick which evidently still works.

[soldierant]

22. It'a a distinction which provokes anger on its own

and therefore, to me and many others, doubles the outrage.

[lunatica]

26. You're right, but allowing the change of subject to take root

is a losing proposition. The tactic is a deflection away from the actual topic. The attempt to change the subject should be dismissed outright as the ploy it is and the original intent of the question should continue unabated.

After someone says such a thing the next question should be to ask that person how that makes a difference with rape.

[yonder]

29. +1.

[hughee99]

23. In Canada and almost all of Europe (except Turkey) the age of consent is 17 or below. In Thunberg's

home country of Sweden, it's 15... but this isn't really about the age of consent.

[bronxiteforever]

2. Kick and recommend for all to see this evil. Greta rules!

[FM123]

3. Just wow.

To have to deal with this kind of vile stuff at seventeen. And to keep marching forward, with chin up.

[Yavin4]

4. No one ever attacks what she says. It always personal. n/t

[Guilded Lilly]

5. Yup. It's attacking the "vulnerable" female. Pure Patriarchy.

[Beartracks]

21. This. It's a hallmark of conservative "argument."

They don't have facts, or science, or history on their side. So they resort to bullshit like making fun of people and name-calling. It's all they've got. They are factually and morally bankrupt.

7. This young woman possesses wisdom and maturity way beyond her years.

I have great admiration for her.

[GeorgeGist]

8. +1

[LittleGirl]

27. Me too.

I don’t get the hate directed toward her.
My sister called her a scam. Good grief.

[paleotn]

9. See how well that stands up in court, Dougie.

Alberta and rape of the tar sands is ground zero for reichwing nuttys in Canada.

[bobbieinok]

10. WOW! So it's just fine to rape someone 17 or older?!?! Does he have daughters? Sons?

Does he tell teenage boys go ahead and rape her if she's 17--I'll support you???

Would the daughter feel that she might be supported if she told mommy?

25. Well, it IS Alberta. Give the rest of Canada a break.
