- In case you’ve not been keeping up with the saga of Penny Arcade and the “dickwolves” controversy, here’s the short version: A few years back Penny Arcade posted a strip in which a character is described as being “raped to sleep by dickwolves.” Needless to say, many people weren’t happy about it. The PA crew responded by actively mocking their critics and insulting rape survivors. The issue came up again at this year’s Penny Arcade Expo. For more on the recent development, read Rachel Eddin‘s “Why I’m Never Going Back to Penny Arcade Expo at Wired. Lesley of xoJane also has an interesting piece on the issue titled “What Are Dickwolves, And What Do They Have to Do With Rape Culture? A Cautionary Tale of How Not to Respond to Feminist Criticism.”
