NRA promotes "ex-girlfriend" target that BLEEDS when shot

[Individuality-ness]

Lovely.

Only if we manage a solid hit. If the bowler can't get it spinning right, it can get pretty shanky.

I don't know that much about cricket, sadly.

That's ok. I can't play much anymore.

[Disserbia]

I wonder how many times I've been shot at and more importantly how much street cred that gives me...

[Trotskylvania]

It really would.

That is what you say.

I am more offended on a personal level by the ex-girlfriend target. But that is because I, a sexually frustrated young male gun owner, am the target market for this product, and I am rather offended how low of an opinion they have of their target demographic.

Were I a heterosexual woman, I would have less of a visceral, personal reaction to an ex-girlfriend target, because I wouldn't be directly insulted by it. I would, however, have a visceral personal reaction to someone trying to sell me an ex-boyfriend target.

I understand.

I've been shot at a great deal. That doesn't earn someone credibility in any forum save those that discuss people shooting at them.

Would you rather swap war stories or get back on topic?

The company making this is fucked up. The NRA promoting it is fucked up. People who buy it are fucked up.

Bronies are fucked up.

Terrorism is fucked up.

This is just... distasteful.

Nah this is fucked up.

Really. Really. Fucked up.

[Paddy O Fernature]

Looks like a great reactive target to represent a non-combative in a shoot house scenario.

For "personal" use.... meh.

Luckily I have the right to choose to ignore this sort of thing if it offends me.

you only ged cred when you are hit, and survive.

[Geilinor]

That's just fucked up. And why does it have to be female?

[Paddy O Fernature]

That's just fucked up. And why does it have to be female?

Market saturation of male targets maybe?

*shrug*

[Individuality-ness]

That's just fucked up. And why does it have to be female?

Because on the presumption that only heterosexual cisgendered men go to gun shows?

[Ethel mermania]

they sell male zombie targets as well as the female one.

most of the targets in the bleeding zombie line are male.

[Erinkita]

AAH! AAH! AAH! WHY?!

AAH! AAH! AAH! WHY?!

Why not?

What's your fucking problem? It's just a target and nothing more. It wasnt meant to be taken seriously, its for humorous target practice like the zombified Osama bin laden target, and if it'll stop you from whining for a while they're also bio-degradable.

Again, no one disputes that it's supposed to be funny. We dispute that (a) it succeeds, and (b) that "supposed to be funny" is somehow a defense against "really misogynistic and fucked up and awful." I have no doubt that their other product in which you shoot a racist caricature of the President of the United States in the face is also supposed to be funny. I also have no doubt that the sort of people who find it funny are fucked up, and that anyone who would sell or promote such a product is fucked up.

It is worth noting that unlike the female zombie, the male zombies are in no way "sexy," do not look like realistic humans, are mostly things like "evil clown" and "Nazi" (and, again, "racist caricature of the President." I keep bringing this up because holy crap that is not okay), are not advertised with a variety of wigs showing how you can customize them to look like your personal ex, and do not come with cute little backstories involving them being killed because they cheated on you.

ETA: I note that they have now changed the "kill her because she cheated on you" backstory, along with the name, which kind of underlines my point that that was massively fucked up.

I think the fact that they changed it so rapidly does underscore the "oh jesus christ what were you thinking?"

the sitting president had to go, as greed mentioned in a different thread, the secret service gets all uppity at using the sitting president as a target.

i am getting the feeling your objecting to the semi realistic 3D bleeding target dummy in general.

Cred I'm fairly sure TED has.

He can stand on his own merits.

oh yeah, honestly i dont have a problem with it its a zombie doll.

but once the compny does that, any arguement i wanna make is summararily dismissed by, "they changed the name, even they thought it was wrong". i lose
