Take Hate Down
The Koala has the right to publish — even to publish hate — but the right to free speech does not include a right to have advertisers. The Koala must earn the support of advertisers with the perceived quality of its content — just like any other for-profit business.
If you don’t believe the content has value, call The Koala advertisers to ask them to withdraw their support of the tabloid’s homophobic, misogynistic, pedophilic, racist and sexist content.

…except that the kinds of people that don’t like the Koala were never likely patrons of those places, anyway.

You seem to suggest that all folks who frequent the campus co-op, the strip club, the local pub, Cheba Hut, and medical marijuana dispensaries like The Koala. That’s unbelievable.

maybe people who relieve stress at stip clubs, liquor stores, and dispensaries dont feel the need to vent at a college joke mag.

Why do the “jokes” take such hateful aim at women and marginalized groups? Is there NOTHING more creative these young minds can come up with?

I know plenty of people who enjoy the General Store Co-Op and Porter’s Pub who wouldn’t touch The Koala with a 10-foot pole. A lot of the patrons of the pot dispensaries are cancer patients, many of whom are women and the majority of which are not fans…

I would not do business with any company that advertises to support the trash in the Koala, which promotes bigotry and violence against women and minorities. There are many more reputable places to promote your business.

It does not surprise me that such trash is put out on the university campuses. In my days at SDSU, I saw some “newspapers” that were mostly full of ads for young women to become “models” etc. The articles in them were hardly worth the reading. I found them offensive, but they were tame compared to the Koala. This type of publication is not the open minded pursuit of diversity, but it is the promotion of violence against people like me. Let them have their freedom of the press somewhere besides a public university and see if anyone other than the like minded would even read it. These “men” are losers. Just the description of what they publish is disgusting. Maybe they should try writing about bomb building and terrorism and see if they get shut down. They are cowards.
