TO THE EDITOR:

This past Wednesday night N.C. State University hosted a screening of Tucker Max’s movie, “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell” as well as a question and answer session with Tucker.

His movie is based on his real life experiences, which include sex with intoxicated women. This meets the legal definition of rape because an intoxicated person cannot consent to sex. His movie also objectifies women and promotes a culture where rape is acceptable.

We applaud the efforts of all the people involved in the silent protest against the film and Tucker’s actions, as well as those involved in the silent candle light vigil for all survivors of rape and sexual assault, including those abused by Tucker.

Project Dinah sincerely hopes that UNC-CH will not follow in NCSU’s footsteps and invite to campus such an offensive entertainer who has no respect for women and makes his money by turning the assaults he has committed into entertainment.
