But seriously people are saying it clearly depicts sexual assault. Many are offended and the sensitivities have been hurt. American Pinball released an apology today regarding the monkey grabbing two women I guess my question out there is this. Is this a case of sexual assault and should be removed immediately? Or is this just a matter of SJW being too sensitive about what is produced on a Pinball machine? --- End quote --- You don't have to be a SJW it find this creepy. I'm no fan of political correctness but this is dumb unless they were hoping for a controversy for publicity. A backglass should be easy to swap out. --- End quote --- Exactly. How tone deaf do you have to be to not think this wasn’t going to cause controversy? |

Well the bulk of pinball collectors are old white dudes, probably because they are the only people that can afford it. I guess the idea is to hyper-sexualize the artwork to try to get them to buy it, but personally I'd never buy anything I'd be too embarrassed to show to my mother, and a lot of the non-themed stuff is like this. It makes the whole "family friendly" response a little laughable. I mean yeah they are fully clothed, but the table is littered with pin-up models. There's nothing wrong with that, but you've gotta own it if that's the direction you are going. Again though... it's a fictional monkey so I think everyone's virtue and self worth is still in tact this time. |

The playfield needs better art before the back glass. I don't find it offensive but I also don't understand why it was green lit in the first place. Have the monkey drinking a beer lookin at cleavage or something /shrugs I'm more offended by the woman with the mustache on the right slingshot plastic (and Im not even offended by it!) |

Did they incorporate this Oktoberfest favorite? |
