Quote from Raptor

"Rape" in conventional language is metaphorically similar to a storm. There's no way to stop it and the only way it will disappear is when it fades out on its own.

Quote from Fusion

Even the person who started the thread is aware that they're using it in a different context, that's not even what this thread is about. The discussion is whether or not it's appropriate.

Quote from Molgera

When I hear the word 'rape', it reminds me of 'surprise buttsex'.

Quote from Triss

Try to say it to street thugs. "I will raipé you."
That sure sounds convincing.

Or classy.

Quote from harvie89

Deal with it... and have fun hating me (haters gonna hate >: D)

Quote from Ahmad

Rape is the new smurf.
So how about me and you rape out and rape ourselves a drink before we go rape?

Quote from Arch-Angel

People use the word rape in a lot if other thing rather than just stickpage. It's used as a means of saying one person is going to beat the other to the point where it will be like one person or team is over powering the other to the point where they get what they want. There's nothing wrong with it, but I guess you're like ten years old or something.

Quote from Scarecrow

No it doesn't. My closest friend got raped, and while it did bother me for a little while, I quickly realized that the word isn't any more damaging than it had been prior. The only difference was the fact that I had become angry about it.

So, I stopped being angry about it. Because you can't stop people from saying words.

MAKE ME SICK TO MY GODDAMN STOMACH

Don't worry, this is normal.

So people who disagree with your viewpoint make you sick to your stomach?

Anyway, in regards to the misuse of the word rape,
It's essentially the same as saying "oh, I'd destroy you" in an animation battle or, "He got murdered" in a game of basketball.
Just because the word gets used frequently out of context doesnt change or devalue the actual meaning of the word, and it certainly shouldn't make you go "hey, don't say that, murder is a serious issue" every time you hear it.
It's like me saying "damn, I feel so fat" after eating a ridiculous amount of food and my friend responding with "hey dude, not cool, obesity is a real problem"
Like c'mon bro

The street definition of a word differs from it's original meaning, but the original is still used in the right context when it's relevant.
Bitch, faggot, fuck, (grammar) nazi, rape all have newly created meanings, but everyone still uses them when they're being referrered to the original meaning.
I don't see much of a problem, but then again, peop can be offended by it, so most people are aware of who not to say these things too.

That's not what I'm talking about. You see scarecrow over there? HIS FRIEND GOT RAPED. It's alright with him suuuree. But it was obviously seriously traumatizing for his friend. HE GOT RAPED THE MAN HELD HIM DOWN AND FUCKING RAPED HIM. DON'T YOU REALIZE HOW HORRIBLE THAT IS. THAT'S WHY I MADE THIS THREAD. OBESITY IS SOMETHING YOU CAN CHOOSE UNLESS SOMEONE WANTS TO FORCE-FEED YOU FOR SOME REASON. RAPE IS SOMETHING YOU CANT CONTROL. THEY ARE TALLER, STRONGER, AND CAN HURT YOU EASILY.

Hold on there all caps rage
It's not like scarecrows friend got raped and then he went around passively making rape jokes
The context determines the definition of a word is what I was getting at.
Ever look in a dictionary? There are multiple ways to use one word bro, and one use should not constantly get you bitching over the other one

Whoa whoa whoa, some people are born Obese. It can be genetically inherited.

Some people are born with deformities or mental retardation. You're not making a strong argument.
If you feel strongly about this then that's ok.
But you can't go and judge what is right and wrong for a community.

John 8:7 let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone

Definitions are subjective, dictionaries just tell us what the commonly accepted meaning of a pattern of noises and sounds we make with our mouth and/or keyboards to communicate ideas through a medium.

The Bible is a pretty bad reference for your points; the majority of people don't believe it's true.

Context is a real thing, yeah, but when a word has one meaning that is hugely more common, you can't magically dissociate it from that just because it wasn't your intention.

Rape. Also known as free sex. xD
Sorry dude, but I just really wanted to say that.
Yeah it's a terrible thing, but after a while, it really doesn't matter. Just be glad that something worse didn't happen.

Please don't shout. Your points seem fair, so why don't you come back to us when you've raped or been raped yourself. Otherwise, you're just another moral guardian, talking shit like the rest of us.
