As it stands, you wouldn't know Swine was about rape unless Lady Gaga TOLD you it was. It is not inherent in the lyrics. So I find fault with your paper-thin assertion that people are "supposed" to feel disgusted when listening to the song.

She's acknowledged MULTIPLE times that the song was about an incredibly bad sexual experience she had as a teenager, so rape or not, it's not a happy song. She actually said the word rape for the first time tonight. Given that rape actually fits with the lyrics (feeling like a pig, self-shame, etc) it's not a huge stretch of the imagination. There''s no reason to assume she'd be lying, other than you having an irrational hatred and revulsion towards her.
You're not supposed to feel anything. It's a song, everybody has different emotional responses. Most people would naturally probably dance to it and not pay attention to the lyrics, but then again, that's probably the point. Either way, the performance fits with the song...
