Omfg why are almost all the bl im reading have grapesjdjsjnssn
when I read that comment below me I remembered that there’s memes using rape as a joke such as the meme audio that was popular a while ago on tiktok of a guy saying he didn’t wanna go to jail since he’d be a word rhyming with grape (raped)
And I was also thinking of my own country where I’d see some people joking how they’re gonna touch their friend or when they feel jokingly harassed they’d say they feel like they’re being raped or so on
I didn’t wanna rant like how I’m doing now and say what you did since I think there might be few victims who use humor to cope with SA/rape (?)Either way the ones making the jokes online most of the time don’t seem to have a inkling of how horrifying it is… of course that’s not everyone I’m sure there are victims who joke around to help themselves but it’s complicated if everyone thinks it’s okay to do that even while not being victims of SA or rape…
If I sound preachy please ignore me or if I make no sense ☠
I’m no saint I think I laughed at things I shouldn’t have so I don’t wanna be a hypocrite but I think that rape culture exists in every country and even with the simplest thing as a harmless rape joke still shows how us as a society still haven’t progressed much from the past. Again I think it’s quite dumb for me to type this much but even on an illegal site like this I think we need to further educate ourselves (meaning those who aren’t victims should be sensitive and careful with such a topic and not dismiss it because they’re only joking)
there is no need to censor the word rape. call it what it is. rape. not grape. censoring the word rape dilutes the meaning of the word. there is no unserious, nicer, or less harsh word for rape. rape is always serious. rape is violent, brutal, mentally and physically damaging, gives people life long trauma. It is torture. people should use the word rape when they are taking about rape. it should be normalized. rape needs to be talked about.

^There is a term called "Non-con" which is somewhat of a euphemism for the word 'rape', but strictly as used as a genre tag in pornography (e.g. BL manhwas).
So there is obviously a nuance when you're talking between a dark sexual fantasy trope in fiction vs an actual rape case.
I'm not saying we should definitely censor the word, but we can't stop the sex genre version of it from existing, even if you tried to ban it, so the best we can do is make a distinction between them. So that we don't lump the two together as if they were both equal in dialogue.
Rape needs to be talked about, but the platform in which you choose to talk about it also matters, for instance, this is a porn site. It's going to be difficult to have a meaningful dialogue about rape in a place where the stories that include them almost always have a happy ending.
Normalizing the use of the word 'rape' for less important conversations (again like in porn, or inevitably if the word is used in memes), it will make people too comfortable with that word.
But anyway, it's still up to you how you'll choose to address it. What matters is that your real-life perception of rape as a topic is not desensitized to the point of apathy or indifference towards it.
