Rape as Gaming Slang

"Rape" as a gaming term:

Please do not use that term in a gaming context on this forum. Rape is a serious crime, that causes severe mental (and often physical) trauma to the victims. Using it as a gaming term totally devalues the seriousness of the crime. Not to mention that some people may find its use in a gaming context offensive or distressing (for much the same reasons I have already mentioned).

We are NOT banning the use of the word "rape" on these forums. If anyone wants/needs to discuss rape (the agricultural crop) or rape (the crime, via the Serious Discussion forum) then they are free to do so. This request applies solely to the use of the word rape within gaming slang such as "we just totally raped them!" The word "raped" in this instance can easily be replaced with, for example, "destroyed."
