rape is used so lightly by game players i used to use it myself until my sisters were.
point being why do we think its ok to use rape as a description?
because poets and bards used it in their stories to describe the world such as
"The army of england rape the country side of fance" its a metaphore/simily if you get the idea they are describing how it felt their land invaded like a woman being raped.
either way half of you think its funny because its never happened to you but its crushing when you hers both your sisters got raped.
but for 1 second think of who your saying it to you say it to the wrong person and could trigger a lot of the past.
im not saying to you stop it cos your all wrong and deserve it if you say it but there are rape victims everywere even on this game no matter where you are your always close to a rape victim.
just to end with a vaild point if i were to call you a rapist you would go balistic and hit the roof at me for calling you it so why say it to others?
you can say your not but if you say you got raped thats calling it on that person.
Who here thinks it is funny? I didn't count one person taking pleasure from it.
Fact: It is a word that has various meanings
Fact: A number of the meanings are very valid for use in SGW
Fact: It is not just poets and bards that use it. It is used on national and international news shows.
As I said. No one posting here has taken any joy in the word. It was discussed in a very civil and adult manner. The reasons it can be misunderstood or misrepresented have been discussed. There are a number of different views put forward and debated.
As I said earlier...do not fear words, fear actions.
Like our good friend Clarkey.
