I would never talk about gaming/fighting using the terms ‘rape’, ‘murder’, ‘kill’, ‘gay’, etc. out loud around people I don’t know. If I were hanging out with my close bros, with no one else around, I might be inclined to say a slang word or two. Race jokes, derogatory names… never comes from my mouth, unless I know that the person I am talking to is cool with it.
Luckily as I strive to delve to new levels of shit gameplay, I never have the burdensome task of finding new synonyms to describe my opponents, cunt suffices for the most part.
Rapists, however, are the real world equivalent of aimbotters, getting the reward without working for it. For this reason I despise them, only thing I hate more in that vein are whores crying rape when it suits them and destroying innocent guys’ lives. Cunts.
Depending on the context, they really are just words dude. I have said rape, kill, murdered, but never literally. Personally, words are just words until someone does something.
context makes all the difference
however, this guy is insane
Haha, dude straight up raped this thread.
When I saw the thread title, I thought that you were talking about rape in hentai and porn and other media. Which is bad, because rape is a horrible crime to commit, and fantazising about it leads to scicopahtic behavior and people acting out on these fantasies.
What is this world coming to?
Dude you’re taking it too seriously. The whole “You got raped!!” crap is not glorifying or popularizing actual rape at all, nor is it some kinda culture unto itself.
Its just recent term popularized by dumb gaming nerds to make what they do sound somehow cooler than what it is. By saying “rape”, it puts that “shock-value” spin on it. When all that really happened, was some guy just lost a match badly in a fighting game, big deal.
Yeah i always thought it sounded stupid, and NEVER used that phrase myself. It just sounds too much.
Kinda like the way i’m also a Transformers fan, but you’ll NEVER hear me call a combiner a “gestalt”. Its just a dumb fan-made term by nerds to try and make something sound more sophisticated. Ugghhh hate it!
Both rape and gestalt should cease being used for those purposes entirely!
Idiots these days…they don’t realize that there are MANY words that have more than one context. Like gay:
Happy, in high spirits, light-hearted (yeah, it still applies even though nobody uses it)
Attracted to one’s own sex (even though they themselves prefer “queer”, which means weird/strange/odd)
Lame, pathetic, weak, halfassed
Now, let’s look at rape
pauses, and checks to see if Nathan Summers is logged in…negative
Ok, let’s roll.
sexual intercourse without consent
a non-sexual situation in which one is absolutely dominated in a game/fight/confrontation, and made to feel defenseless and powerless by the opponent.
JustB…find your penis. You’re acting like some naive feminist soccer mom.
I know people that have been raped, but it doesn’t stop me from saying “rape.” Words only have as much meaning as we give them.
Also, think about this: You know someone who’s parents are murdered…are you going to cut them off from all sources of news?
I’ve made a mistake like this once…back when “your mom” was popular. I said it to a guy I had just met and it turns out his mom had died just two months earlier, in his hands, of a brain aneurysm. Now, the situation sucked and dude was pissed at me for a couple of weeks…but I apologized “Guy, I didn’t know, I’m sorry,” and it was cool.
EDIT: You’re going to say something that offends someone from time-to-time. I’m not saying you should try to offend people, but just be yourself and say what feels right for you. If you make a mistake and upset someone, then apologize. They will likely forgive you (maybe not instantly), but no one is flawless and they have likely done the same thing at some point.
penny arcade is a fucking piece of shit and i’ll go ahead and say anyone who actually follows that shit and thinks it’s good should just fall off the edge of the earth.
that being said, on topic of rape but off topic from shitty arcade. rape should be normalized, at least to the point where it’s in video games. regular video games not some bullshit hgames or whatever some might say “oh well it’s in games already.”
example: gta-type sandbox game, you’ve got some options dealing with the npcs in games - why can’t you rape them? you can murder them, murder is more acceptable than rape? fuck that. every option select/choose your own adventure type scenario in a game should have rape as the last option.
/endrant.
edit: tl:dr version - which is worse? rape or murder.’
edit 40: i like how the person who is butt hurt about the term rape is a penny arcade fan. clown. watch out for you get raped by some demon dicked monstrosity. aka pack of negros. you just got GIBSON’ED!
Isn’t JustB a chick? Maybe that’s why this topic is so srs to her? Besides, I’ve shifted from using the term “raped” to the term “gaped”. More hilarious for me, less offensive for all.
Was JustB raped in the past? Because this is what this thread is implying.
Did the penny arcade guys really have to make an additional comic addressing upset people over the usage of the word rape?
Some people need exercise one of the most basic freedoms that nobody can ever take away from you. The freedom to choose how something affects you. However, there’s so many people that let their emotions strip that freedom away from them. Some cases that’s just fine, but a lot of cases it’s just silly.
rape is no laughing matter…unless you’re raping a clown
I have never heard someone say that in jest.
Chick w/ a dick bro…
You know what would rape so hard, have a remake of Michael Jordan Chaos in the Windy City game, replace MJ with a white girl all looking like a pig in heat & have a pack of ninja’s going after her the whole game…She would throw basketballs to distract them ninjas from raping her…
It’s like my grandfather said:
“If you’re about to be raped, just sit back, relax and enjoy it”
This.
It’s the difference between saying someone is strict and saying they are responsible for the deaths of millions.
This overly-PC shit is annoying, it’s fucking semantics. It’s not like saying the word will make you desensitized to actual physical rape.
If you want to see desensitization of rape then move to Finland. That place is an all you can eat, rape buffet.
