Idk about ahead of its time... Rape wasn't invented in 1994

I used birthday money to buy those exact glasses because of this show. I was like 10. And white.
NoSleepTilBrooklyn
Pretty much everybody had Dwayne Wayne glasses when I was in in 8th grade. And Flava Flav clocks. Thank christ there was no internet then.

Are you... Are you no longer white
NoSleepTilBrooklyn
It seems like a no duh thing now, but back then a lot of people still didn't think date rape existed. This was a really necessary message.
MrPeebles
I've met people today who think rape isn't a thing. Girl I used to date said it couldn't happen and most around her didn't correct the idea.
LizardsInTheSky
Hell, too many people *today* think rape can't happen between spouses. I wish sex-ed taught more about what exactly *ongoing* consent is.
Tinkrr
Good guy Carlton talking the truth. But for serious, rape is wrong, pretending to be raped when you weren't is wrong, and so on.
LexCat0
Someone always has to bring up false accusations
raidleadergutts
And someone else always gets butthurt at the bringing up of false rape accusations.
Tinkrr
The people who make false accusations hurt rape victims, it's important to condemn their actions.
IamJustinSane
A show created by a rapist telling us not to rape. Is that ironic, or just stupid?
whistlebuzz
Amazing show - and damn sad we are STILL having these conversations 30 years on!

I remember watching this episode. I was a little kid but it stuck with me all these years. Sinbad flips pretty hard in this scene.

"Don't rape" isn't exactly a message that's ahead of its time.
LexCat0
Date rape/marital rape being illegal is only a semi-recent thing
schylow
It was a much more relatable situation here. Two guys talking, and one asking about the "but what if?" scenarios and explaining that 1/4
schylow
he's not some crazy assailant, and the other guy telling him straight up that it doesn't matter. If she said no, end of story. 2/4
schylow
Educating people about it isn't for the ones who are going to do it anyway. It's for the ones who think manipulation and coercion is 3/4
schylow
okay, or that "she didn't really mean it."
ghbar
Man, I loved Shazam.
thatstomorrowsproblem
I never thought about it that way. Maybe ill try this whole not rape thing and see how it goes. Thanks Sinbad
SerialKitten666
A lot of people don't understand sexual consent properly...it absolutely should be taught alongside sex ed.

wow if only people could learn this simple lesson. Don't rape people or have sex with someone who doesn't want to.
SunnySarah20
And, because some people are particularly awful, we also have to say “only yes means yes.” None of that “well, she didn’t say no” bullshit.

How is saying don't rape people ahead of it's time....
n0n53n53
Because Bill Cosby created the show. It's ahead of the time when everyone know he was a rapist

I was a little (white) kid when this was still running. But I remember being so into it. Great show.

It spoke to a lot of people b/c it was topical & direct, not full of farcical humor like a lot of other prime time stuff then.

SomethingSomethingTraLaLa
Not saying 'Yes' is also rape, silence is not consent. Saying 'yes' then deciding the answer is 'no' while you forcibly continue is rape.
tronda81
I know a couple people who said no right after starting or right before and people kept going... i cant imagine how that would be
tronda81
Its ruined alot of my friends... a few of them in school with the person and too ashamed to say something... i wish i could call them allout
justvenomcake
Also giving giving verbal consent and regretting it afterwards is not rape.
LexCat0
Yep, we're all aware of that
schylow
Good for you. We're all supposed to be aware of the original message, too, but it still warrants saying.
SomethingSomethingTraLaLa
This happens statistically less than rape, but yes.
justvenomcake
It happens enough to where it warrants some recognition.
SomethingSomethingTraLaLa
It's not like it doesn't happen, true, but you also have to weigh victims being accused of this versus the statistics. It's a tricky thing.
51CorgisInABar
I understand what you mean, but not all instances of silence are rape when there are so many nonverbal ways to give positive consent
51CorgisInABar
HOWEVER one should never assume consent is given until it actually is, and it’s always better to get verbal consent rather than rely on
Jvenanzi
I've heard of guys in college getting screwed over like this when they didn't get the Go Signal from the lady they were with at the time.
Jvenanzi
it hurt physically, hearing a guy get Hard Time 'cause the girl decided "No" after and wanted to get back at him for it. Society = Scary.

Zaranthan
Dirty talk: not just fun, also good policy.
Meatwalls
That's why I always work verbal consent into the communication of sex. "do you want me to get a condom?" usually works.
Meatwalls
TBH its also a non-question, cause I'm wearing a condom no matter what she says.
RobertNAdams
At this rate it's such a fucking legal minefield that I'm gonna straight-up hire a notary for the bedroom before my pants come off.
LexCat0
I mean, you could just.. ask?
RobertNAdams
(2/2) There are men in jail today solely on the woman's word, no physical evidence, no evidence of harm. As a dude it's quite scary.
LexCat0
And there are considerably more women who have been raped, and their rapist never experiences any kind of consequences, which is quite scary
RobertNAdams
(1) Of course, but courts are so heavily slanted against men in this area that it's a serious risk that one has to consider.
LexCat0
I would very much dispute this. Just this I heard of a court giving a rapist joint custody, and so many other stories of women being asked
FawkesSake
We're still in the aftermath of the post-act 'deciding later you didn't want it', fiasco. Actually had international impacts too. /1
FawkesSake
/2 it changed the precedent for legitimate rape claims; "even when yes, it could mean no". It's dying down now tho as boundaries are redrawn
StalkerMagnet
It's weird to think the Bill Cosby created this show.
Eaglescout76
yeah Bill created it, but he didn't listen because he drugged them so they couldn't say no....
teknojo
I prefer to think that Cliff Huxtable, respected philanthropist, doctor, actor, & comedian created it, not his rapist doppelganger Bill.
boruto
As Charlie would say he's a full-on-rapist
teknojo
Oh yes. Definitely. But even horrible people are capable of good things. It would be a shame if all the good done was forgotten because 1/2
teknojo
of all the bad done. The bad MUST be acknowledged and remembered! Bill = reality rapist, Cliff = idealized man we grew up seeing 2/2

Sometimes the worst people are the most talented have you seen hitlers artwork? Im just saying
Buzzedkatana
Both of you are the reason I am on imgur. #sensible_chuckle
51CorgisInABar
All artists are Hitler, therefore yes, we’ve seen Hitler’s artwork
QuiteADapperAsshole
Hitler's art is tolerable. That's it.
shhep
How about Leni Riefenstahl, if you HAVE to bring nazis into that? Because Hitler was anything but "most talented", lol.
redsalmon
Or Weinstein’s movies?
Maboroshi1994
he was barely passable at painting buildings and was incapable of capturing personality, either in people or in the buildings he painted.
Dagordae
Eh, mediocre. Not bad, but nothing all that special. His perspective needed serious work.
GBspiral
Seems like school would have been good for that? I can't paint anywhere close to that level so its good to me. I dont wanna own his art tho
Dagordae
An art academy is the equivalent of going for your masters, not simply someplace to get good at art. They were very exclusive.
ohwhenwilldeathcome
I think the composer Wagner is always a good example in these cases. Beautiful music. Avid Nazi supporter.
Maboroshi1994
wagner died in 1883,long before the nazi party was founded.he was a virulent anti semite and hitler loved his music.daughter was a nazi tho.
ohwhenwilldeathcome
Ah my bad. I just knew the Nazis loved his work, and his antisemitism. They celebrated his music as a testament to their superiority.
Maboroshi1994
yeah a lot of wagner was based on nordic/germanic myths, perfect fodder for hitler. wagner's daughter and her husband were notable nazis.
TehButternaut
Yes but in that example Hitlers paintings would have to depict him not killing millions of Jews.
CaptainShitDick
You beat me to it good sir, +1
Thesebiscuits
Exactly.
SuedeCaramel
Well...they do NOT depict that?
RelevantForOnce
For just about anything you can think of, Hitler made a painting of it not happening.
barf1189
How about a surrealist painting of him birthing millions of Jews with the placenta becoming isreal?
tehzpoon
AquaCrusher
Knowing better doesn't mean doing better
Ringshadow
TheDairyPope
Do we really need this to prove Hitler had a bad perspective?
DoingItWrongSince1980
Maybe this is accurate and Hitler just grew up around shit architects. The world went to war for want of a plumb bob.
IDontPostAnything
Maybe he could have learned a little something about perspective somewhere. Maybe at a place they teach art.
RelevantForOnce
POL POT SUCKED AT POTTERY.
thatguywhoisnttoowitty
just to be sure, as art isnt my forte, by it is trying to show the lack of a focal point, or something else?
VoltageXL1
The perspective is way off. This doesnt do a good job explaining, but all the lines are not going to the same vanishing point.
THENOlD
It says in French (roughly) "study of the perspective in a painting painted by Hitler", so I think it technically has explained aptly enough
Counterfit
The first thing. Those lines should all meet at one point when extended.
thatguywhoisnttoowitty
Thank you
SquidWithSquibs
The lines are showing the perspective is wrong. Basically, the lines should meet/recede to a single "vanishing point"
SquidWithSquibs
In perspective, parallel lines meet at the same point. So the tops and bottoms of windows,and the roof,should be able to extend to one point
EverNotRelevant
I have. The art school made the right choice.

Wasn’t he good at copying others work? It’s what I was taught in high school but I’ve never fact checked it. I mean this is okay
ICantBelieveItsNotGif
Woah, colour me surprised
Dagordae
Not really. Fairly average. His perspective is wonky, he needed to work on it.
elfearlightcouncil3000
Which is why people go to school tho
tivjotunsson
It's nice, but perspective is shit. You didn't get into art school on a whim at that time, you needed real talent
MisterDildy
I think the perspective is alright
MrRandom314159
Is that why I feel like the center part of it is leaning in a little bit?
EverNotRelevant
Or a lot of money. Higher Ed is still like that.
Livingstone98
Not to mention that he could never paint people correctly.
StalkerMagnet
I know what you're saying but Hitler was a pretty average artist. Maybe a better example would be Roman Polanski, or Woody Allen.
Alozar
Is Woody Allen actually a criminal or just creepy?
OneBucPerson
Depends on when he started having sex with his adopted step-daughter.
LukeKitchen
Ex-stepdaughter says she raped him, her brother and mom say she's telling the truth, he denies. Can't say for sure, but I think he's a creep
CringeMetal
I think he sexually abused one of his children or something, I'm not sure
Alozar
He married his former step-daughter I think.
Counterfit
It's highly contentious. Not like Polanski, who got fucking convicted and fled to Switzerland before sentencing.
