Hours after the graduation ceremony, posters featuring a photo of Sulkowicz alongside the words “pretty little liar” and the Twitter hashtag #RapeHoax appeared around Columbia’s campus. The large black and white posters were plastered on subway signs and on boarded up buildings, street lights and newspaper kiosks.
It’s unclear who is behind the #RapeHoax campaign, but the same people also appear to have started a “Fake Rape” account on Twitter and Flickr (the Flickr account has since been taken down). Neither Sulkowicz nor the unnamed individuals behind the #RapeHoax campaign immediately returned requests for comment made late Thursday night.
As with every twist and turn during the 10-month saga of Sulkowicz’s public protest, reaction to the posters was immediate and intense. Photos showed New Yorkers tearing down the posters in disgust on Wednesday morning, only for similar photos to be mockingly posted on the “Fake Rape” Twitter feed as well.

Some art projects are more equal than other art projects.
It is art.
I hope some student gets course credit for it.
I like the pics of her with mattress and the meme “Mobile STD Dispenser”

How can folls be more disgusted by the posters than by the lying bitch herself?
It looks like she posed for it. Could she have put these up?
Because they believe her.
Man, that’s cold - funny as hell but cold nonetheless. :=)
She lied, ruined a man’s life, and sought attention. F*** her.
By the way, it's New York Magazine, not New Yorker.
As if it isn't already obvious, I have never read the magazine.
Nobody but the two who were there that night can know for sure what happened.
Although I admit her behavior after the “rape” damages her credibility.
Saying that you absolutely, positively know she is lying is just as unjustified as saying you absolutely, positively know she is telling the truth.
Our justice system, however, has been designed to not convict except when there is proof “beyond a reasonable doubt,” which there most certainly is not in this case.
It never went through our legal system. I don't think a formal charge was filed.
What about all the texts she sent after the “rape”?
Her communication with the alledged “Rapist” which were published make it pretty clear she didn’t act like she had been raped.
I wonder if she’s going to drag her mattress with her to job interviews and work...
Well, good for whoever is behind this campaign. No woman should be able to get away with ruining a young man’s life just because she wants to prove her “feminist” credentials (or whatever her selfish motivation is).
Accusations of rape should not be used to get revenge, display one’s “feminist” bona-fides, or for any other reason. Doing so trivializes the crime, causing a great disservice to those who really are victims of rape. And, of course, such false accusations also do great harm to the falsely accused.
