Some backstory: They put out a comic in which they made a secondary joke that involved rape (you should probably read the comic, it's not necessarily ABOUT rape). Readers thought the concept was funny enough and a "Dickwolves" t-shirt was sold. Eventually, the shirt was pulled but that didn't stop criticism.A few months of anti-rape blog members and Penny Arcade members "interacting" eventually resulted in death threats.
