Administrators Amethyst Posted April 20, 2013 Administrators Share Posted April 20, 2013 ((okay but theres no reason to talk about rape like that actually because its a serious thing)) ((continue with y'alls imaging)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearadactyl Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 ((Sorry about that, I suppose. My friends and I used the term "Rape" in place of the terms "Owned/Pwned, ETC." So, I didn't see it as a big deal. But, then again we take nothing seriously. So, I guess sorry if it really is a big deal?)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Amethyst Posted April 20, 2013 Administrators Share Posted April 20, 2013 Serious talk for a sec I understand that's the context in which it's usually used but that's also a specific context that I try and use the rules around here to discourage. I think that it is a big deal that rape is so heavily casualised in the gaming culture. It's disrespectful to all rape survivors to belittle an event such as that- which mind you, is an effectively life-changing, traumatic misfortune- by comparing it to something as trivial as losing at a game. Furthermore, by casualising the notion of rape, using the term so loosely promotes acceptance of the act itself thereby indirectly enabling and encouraging in culture. Although I know these aren't the things that people think of when they use the term like, they are real implicit effects of it. The little nuances of language cause more damage than we give them credit for; I'm trying to stop that in the little way that I can. And further, the simple mention of an act like that can potentially serve as a trigger for survivors- and in fact we have in the past had people on this site who have been triggered by even passing mentions of it. I can't in good conscience let that happen. here, have an image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
