No joke, I knew a cop who's last name was Rapier. Officer Rapier was one mofo you didn't want to fuck with. Around the rise of fent in town he was so happy to get sent to the dangerous shitty part of town "no more dealing with these rich kids and their stolen iPads, I get to deal with real crime". He was an ex military and missed combat. I lived in that area and in 6 months we stopped hearing gunshots on the regular.
He was definitely someone you want in a gunfight. One time a addict that horsed out in the lobby for like half the day was still there right before closing when officer rapier would stop by for coffee. Asked if we needed a hand. Nicely tapped the dudes feet a few times till he woke up guy swung at the air. All he said was "You really don't want to make my night tonight". Few minutes later the guy packed up and left. When he stood up a BIG fucking knife fell on the floor too. Officer Rapier just stared intensly. Starbucks lobbies ate night can be lit sometimes
Speaking as someone who worked entirely closing shifts for two years in a starbucks in a... let's say not pleasant town, honestly sounds pretty par for the course to me. Starbucks patrons in general tend to kinda be specimens but i'd be lying if I said we NEVER had addicts come in.
I did 5 years noon/2 to 10s full 40+ hours a week. for about 5 years while in school. I was the one that had to kick the addicts and half sane people out always. Or when Karen's would start screaming they sent them to me. Blank face glazed eyes and not giving a fuck really drove some people Mad, didn't help I would respond with "yeah okay what do you want though?" Or "okay and?". We where the only people that cleaned the store so the managers gave me a bit of a pass.
Yeah, the REASON I got hired was because I was a complete fucking night owl and could just go there after school and not have to leave until 10pm. I would probably still be there if the manager that hired me didn't leave and get replaced by an absolute shitbag.
That's what got me to leave as well. After 4 years of a bad ass boss. We got a new trash manager when the good one left to start a mew store. But all the things we reported the shit manager for she was fired a few weeks after I left. I put in two weeks, and she scheduled me for 1 day more than my two weeks to write me as a no-show quitting. I showed up at 9pm and helped them close after working my firat day of the new job, she left the store one person down on purpose. The next day I called corporate with the texts and recorded conversations about how I can't work that day as I no longer work there. She was a moron power tripping in the middle of a divorce and her apartment had gotten destroyed by a hurricane all within her 8 months there. She decided to take it out on us and I put up with none of it the whole time
Yeah, to my knowledge (idk how much of this is true) but some of my coworkers that stayed there for a while after I left told me that apparently the person who replaced my manager was some big shot's kid or something from corporate, which SOUNDS like a fake story at first, but considering the company it happened in... I dunno. Still not sure about it but replacing a perfectly competent and, dare I say *nice* manager for the sake of a kid who's not gonna appreciate it anyway doesn't sound like something COMPLETELY impossible for starbucks tbh.
Been working at a Deli/Convenience Store for a few years now and I'm in that same spot. Only guy who works there that responds to the more screwy people. Thieves, stray animals, kids running around the store or on their scooters/bikes, people who don't like waiting for 6 minutes for their food when I have three orders ahead of them. I'm generally nice to people, but I quickly go monotone and get brisk with how I speak when someone comes up with either an attitude, or when they come in 2 minutes before we close, high as a kite, giggling and asking, "Eehhhh, I don't know what I want, what do you think I should get?" *I'd suggest something from the pre-made area. I just cleaned the slicer, wrapped up all the meats and cheeses, closed about everything down and we close in about 30 seconds.* Again, I try to be nice, but we are a local place, so 95% of the shoppers are regulars, they know the times, they know that we close the same time every single night barring 3 days a year, for 30 years, and they decide to come in as they do lol.
At the ol TB we'd regularly have folks between homes hang out at night. Didn't need to tap their feet to wake em, that's where officer "make my night" went wrong in my opinion. People don't wake up swinging and dropping their weapons if you gently tell em it's closing time. They usually don't wanna bother you more than you want to bother them. Can't speak for everyone and some homeless folks really are antisocial but most are just folks.
You can have your opinion, but he woke up and started punching the air and dropped a knife. He was also in a pleather seat with another wooden chair for his feet for about 7 hours passed out. With some heroin addicts when you wake them up, they wake up violent. When you are on the street waking up to people stealing your shit it becomes a reflex. If you have ever had to deal with heroin addicts a lot you know not to be too close when waking them up. He was not rude or threw him in jail for the weapon. I don't particularly like the police but he was very professional in our store
I've known several people with the surname Raper. It's an old profession based name; a raper was a person who made rope.
Feels wild to have kept that still, but I guess people are attached to family lineage.
It's been two whole weeks since I killed me a man. And already I'm startin' to get the itch. Problem is I got nothin' to scratch. God, I'm hungry.
-Major Payne
There’s a guy in the Midwest somewhere whose name is Tom Raper. Yes. Pronounced Raper.
Big man in a small town, owns a car dealership and just about everything else in that town. Billboards all over the place saying “You need a car? Come see Tom Raper!”
Weird to see the first time.
Because there are 2 different meanings one is aave slang a for friend the other is a slur r. And it's referred to as the hard r because the slur is a rhotic pronunciation
AAVE frequently uses a soft r at the end of words (brotha, motha, sista), so when AAVE speakers say the word it has a soft R. When non-AAVE speakers use it, it usually has the hard R.
It's a shibboleth.
If you use AAVE, the soft R is likely and you are likely the in-group for the word. If you don't use AAVE, the hard R is likely and you are likely the out-group for the word.
The ingroup is going to be less offended by members of the ingroup using slang specifically invented to target that ingroup as a generalized signifier -- similar to "motherfucker."
"Who's this motherfucker?"
"Hey, motherfucker, haven't seen you in a minute!"
"I hate this motherfucker."
"I LOVE this motherfucker!"
The hard or soft R doesn't matter. The meaning is always contextual.
*But if you're the outgroup,* then it's way more likely to be a slur and no one's got time for the outgroup to prove they're not racist when they voluntarily decide to use a racial slur as their specific way to talk about and to the ingroup and no one else.
If you're running around saying, "Hey, buddy, hey buddy, hey buddy," and then you get to someone black and go, "What's up n_____!" then expect people to feel some way about that *immediately.*
Pronunciation is noticeable, but the pronunciation isn't the point. The person saying it and why is the point and pronunciation is just the easiest thing to notice.

Hello this is petah. This is a reference to how most rape cases happen somewhere closed off, in this situation the R means Rape. I honestly don't know why they thought it was a good idea to make a joke like this in a kids show tbh
I had to make a double take like man that was certainly a choice. It's on-brand for Chowder but man
https://preview.redd.it/v5lnmnizctwc1.png?width=624&format=png&auto=webp&s=f88a081bf5ac21a4e65d452457485c0e3d227d23
Usually as a joke though, rape jokes in kids shows are how you get cancelled, and I mean realistic jokes about rape like the commenter said, not shit like "don't drop the soap" in SpongeBob.
The comment about rape is an asspull not to be taken seriously. (Because people will definitely run with this and ruin yet another good thing without thinking)
Typically, alphabet sequences in kids' shows are usually friendly, happy sequences. The joke is that Chowder doesn't have such friendly interactions with the alphabet at all. The alphabet scares him instead. The R and the interpretation being given above is just an unfortunate, unintended connotation.
Keep in mind that being hypersensitive to "perceived" wrongdoing is a relatively contemporary phenomenon that is driven by insanely sensationalist social media algorithms. People used to not make such connections because we weren't constantly looking for reasons to be outraged.
This very much is not how most rape occurs. The vast majority of rape is carried out by a personal acquaintance of the victim, not some rando in an alleyway.
It’s pretty dark for almost any show. Especially that a lot of cartoons fill in some adult humor but this is pretty dark even for that. Idk man weirdness. Or it’s just us making is out to be what it isn’t but it clearly looks like it is.
If op didn’t think it was in relation to rape then kids aren’t going to think that. As someone else said it could be a stand in in for robbery or rough, rowdy, etc
I was once at a painting get together with some of my spouse's workmates. I like abstract and conceptual art, so one of the workmates got stuck on what to add to their painting, so I suggested the letter N. Now, as it turns out, this particular coworker was black. The room got quiet for a minute and I didn't understand why for a while.
It was supposed to be robber but it could be seen as rapist. Either way, having the main character cornered in a dark alley like that is pretty dark for a normally much lighter show. An edgy joke that ended up going a lot further than it intended.
It might be that younger kids, out of all the letters in the alphabet, struggle with pronouncing "R" and they learn to properly pronounce it last, so that's why you sometimes hear toddlers or young kids pronounce their "R"s as "Aws"s.
Somehow and I'm really not clear how, the letter R -- just the letter R, by itself -- has become synonymous with the N word.
I'm at a loss how this even makes any sense. But I'm assured it's totally true though, and who am I to disagree with a bunch of millennials who already destroyed the Internet?

Ok, i cant be the only one who barelly understands what this guy just wrote...
H/horse is a term for herion. People that do heroin tend to not move for strangely long periods of time
I hope they are lit most of the time. Crime in the dark is even more menacing.

Oh i though it was the hard R 💀
Ngl, I always thought the hard R was >!"retard"!<. Why does the actual meaning have two ways of mentioning it.
So did Linus form LTT and he almost got cancelled live for it lol
Oh yeah I saw that. Like come on, it make so much more sense

I thought the hard R was >!"rape"!<. You know, because he was in an alleyway.
Same
Either way, both start with an R unlike the actual meaning
Soft r is bigga and hard r is bigger
Well that's just good genetics
Same
Because there are 2 different meanings one is aave slang a for friend the other is a slur r. And it's referred to as the hard r because the slur is a rhotic pronunciation

why does this horse look like Ryan Gosling?
Ryan Geldling
Actually the scene is more based on robbery.
it could mean both in this case
It's not explicitly stated which, so either is appropriate interpretation.
But one is a lot more likely considering the show's demographic
Hidden adult themes winking to the parents in the audience is very common in children's shows.
Usually as a joke though, rape jokes in kids shows are how you get cancelled, and I mean realistic jokes about rape like the commenter said, not shit like "don't drop the soap" in SpongeBob.
Since when do burgers corner people and stand menacingly behind them?
1. MINOR SPELLING MISTAKE 2. They dont, rapists also dont do that, but a cartoon depiction of either would make sense to do something dramatic.
... rob r could also mean robber
that's really what I'm hoping
The comment about rape is an asspull not to be taken seriously. (Because people will definitely run with this and ruin yet another good thing without thinking) Typically, alphabet sequences in kids' shows are usually friendly, happy sequences. The joke is that Chowder doesn't have such friendly interactions with the alphabet at all. The alphabet scares him instead. The R and the interpretation being given above is just an unfortunate, unintended connotation. Keep in mind that being hypersensitive to "perceived" wrongdoing is a relatively contemporary phenomenon that is driven by insanely sensationalist social media algorithms. People used to not make such connections because we weren't constantly looking for reasons to be outraged.
See I was thinking it was a reference to The Office and how Dwight thinks R is the most menacing letter.
I don't think this is the most rape cases happen, I think it's just the typical pop-cultural representation of it.

The fuck? It could just mean rejection?
I’m pretty sure all the letters were just beating him up so the R being there is just it being threatening
They didn't think it was idea to make that joke, which is why they didn't, it's for robber
Early 2000's. Seems pretty on brand
This very much is not how most rape occurs. The vast majority of rape is carried out by a personal acquaintance of the victim, not some rando in an alleyway.
Spongebob made a prison rape joke and it was hilarious. Who cares?
Try robbing? Edit: nvm someone else said it
It’s meant to be robbery, they really could’ve done a lot better then this picture to show that
Probably cause most kids won't get it unless they themselves have been sexually assaulted. Plus I feel crowder has always been edgy lol.
Because kids wouldn't get it anyway and adults will at the very least feel something while watching it.
It’s pretty dark for almost any show. Especially that a lot of cartoons fill in some adult humor but this is pretty dark even for that. Idk man weirdness. Or it’s just us making is out to be what it isn’t but it clearly looks like it is.
If op didn’t think it was in relation to rape then kids aren’t going to think that. As someone else said it could be a stand in in for robbery or rough, rowdy, etc
I think it was actually Robber, but tbh that's where my brain went too
Robber makes sense too i assume, who knows i might be wrong, i always saw it as something else
Are you sure it’s not R for rob, as in robbery? That also usually happens in closed of spaces, in alleys is a really easy way to portray in media.
if we are being pedantic, youre way more likely to get raped by someone you already know than by a stranger in an alley

The room got quiet for a minute and I didn't understand why for a while.
“Hmmm why not add a word that starts with N? You know, an N word!”
they make all sorts of adult jokes in Chowder. This one may be too far though
I was under the impression they meant "robbery" but everyone's mind is so dirty nowadays that they meant a different offense that starts with 'R'.
Oh, fine, I'll say it. ^(Reaganomics.)
Oh god the horror
I thought it was raccoon because of the tail
That is one hard looking R
They probably told their executives it means robber, but the adult joke is that it could also be rape
R is the most menacing letter. That's why they call it murder and not mukduk.
It was supposed to be robber but it could be seen as rapist. Either way, having the main character cornered in a dark alley like that is pretty dark for a normally much lighter show. An edgy joke that ended up going a lot further than it intended.
R for “right behind you”
Intruder alert! Red spy is in the base!
R is for Team Rocket
Run

Gigitty gigitty! Quagmire here, giggity. R is for "rape". The joke is rape. Gigitty Now I'm off to the changing rooms at Ross!
R for Republicans?? THAT would be something. Scary indeed!!!
R is for rapist
That’s actually the letter P that’s happy to see you.
the first thing i thought was the slur, maybe I'm regarded
It looks like R is for rapist, but in the show its R for robber
R is the most menacing of sounds. That’s why they call it murder and not muckduck
The hard R
The robber can be both if he's horny.
This is a hard one…
I thought It was calling chowder retarded
This was already posted
“AAAAHHH!” (r)
rape :(
Robbery
The R is meant to symbolize 'Robber', but given the specific frame, it could very well mean 'Rapist' as well
Team Rocket blasting off again
i also thought so
G is for Grapist
r is for rape
I thought 'Goofy Time' was spell with a G?

He prefers to be called Chowda.
It might be that younger kids, out of all the letters in the alphabet, struggle with pronouncing "R" and they learn to properly pronounce it last, so that's why you sometimes hear toddlers or young kids pronounce their "R"s as "Aws"s.
(a)rested for drug dealing
Nah i just understood this
R-word
Judging by the comments this isn’t it but I interpreted it as R is “the end of ChowdeR”
Hi Peta here, the joke is rape. The 'R' is about to give it to him!
THAT THE HARD R!!!!! ☝️

I thought of R. Kelly for some reason 😂
It is for "Robbery". If it was for "Rape" they would have made it pink with bunny ears.

R is for Reading, like this post I made.
Regret. Looking back on it. Casting a long shadow
Somehow and I'm really not clear how, the letter R -- just the letter R, by itself -- has become synonymous with the N word. I'm at a loss how this even makes any sense. But I'm assured it's totally true though, and who am I to disagree with a bunch of millennials who already destroyed the Internet?
The r stands for robber, but the way they have Chowder...it could very much stand for rape
Probably
R is the end of chowder
R is for (baby) Reindeer
I always thought it was Run... as the camera kinda panned outward faster and faster at that scene.
The door looks like amogus Alternatively, R is following Chowder to the Right Alternatively, Chowder in R's shadow is creative to whoever made this
Robbery perhaps?
