I would've been able to half-way deal with this if not for that part.

"Rape is a type of sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse, which is initiated by one or more persons against another person without that person's consent. The act may be carried out by physical force, coercion, abuse of authority or with a person who is incapable of valid consent, such as one who is unconscious, incapacitated, or below the legal age of consent. The term is most often defined in criminal law."

How is that NOT offensive? It leaves permanent mental scars of the victim, and the worst part is that there are many different words he could've used in the title. Why did he feel it necessary to use that one?

The WORD rape is not offensive. The word rape is not going to leave permanent mental scars on people. It is a word used to describe what you just defined above. By your logic, that's like saying "murder" is an offensive word because it defines somebody killing someone else. It's not a derogatory slur that can cause offense and/or be used as an insult.

are people really arguing over the word 'rape' being in the title? oh dear

People shouldn't misuse murder, either. And yah, maybe the word rape is not offensive, but everything associated with it is.

I'm not even the one taking offense, though. There are people who may take offense to it on here. My bad, I'll just leave and hope someone who did experience emotional trauma from rape does not see the word being used casually like it's a joke.

Are you really saying words can't be offensive?

Go say the N word to a crowd of black people and tell them It's "just a word".

Anyways, being murdered isn't something people have to live with. I still find that word quite juvenile too.
