Following backlash on social media saying a Forever 21 T-shirt promoted rape culture, the clothing company has pulled it offline and apologized, according to multiple reports on Tuesday.

The plain white T-shirt with black lettering proclaiming, “Don’t Say Maybe if You Want to Say No,” was being sold on forever21.com for $19.90.

The shirt was later removed from its website following negative feedback, the clothing company confirmed in a statement to KTLA on Tuesday.

“Forever 21 strives to exemplify the highest ethical standards and takes feedback and product concerns very seriously. With regards to the t-shirt in question, upon receiving feedback from our customers, we took immediate action to have it removed from our website and are currently removing the product from our stores. We sincerely apologize to anyone who was offended by the product.”

Although some social media users defended the presumed meaning behind the shirt, many condemned it:

Forever 21 is selling a shirt that says “don’t say maybe if you want to say no.” How about “don’t do something if you don’t hear a yes.” — Kristin Toussaint (@kristindakota) March 14, 2016
