Huge Liability

I'll contribute with some local metal.

I’m a big believer that the justice system in North America is failing rape victims, and I think that a lot of people are denying rape culture, but it’s drat time that we started acknowledging that it’s real. We shouldn’t be willing to accept poo poo like Daniel Tosh getting up on stage and making a bunch of shittty rape jokes, because that just contributes to rape culture, and to victim shaming, and you see it on your favourite sitcoms and you think, “oh, but they’re just making jokes about it: and you know what, it’s loving real, and that’s contributing to it!

‘Plato’s Tripartite’ is a song on the record which is very much about that, and I had a rape case in mind from the United States, where this young girl was essentially raped, and this dude, who was a football player at their high school, got let off with a slap on the wrist because he had a promising career and he looked remorseful, even though he had raped this young girl, he got away with it. This young girl’s life is forever scarred, forever altered, and this guy gets a slap on the wrist, and that’s what this song is about.
