Attention manosphere: can someone explain to me why the same people who get so worked up over the word rape being used broadly (e.g., statutory rape, date rape, “gray rape”) tend to be the same people who liberally use the word rape metaphorically (“I got raped by that exam”)?

@sfbos first one has legal consequences, seond one doesn't, first one is too serious, the second one is not serious not all and not emotional at all, overall the 2 are completely opposite and have nothing to do with each other at all, I don't understand the question they're not unusual at all.

@tempaccount If the notion is that rape is a serious and big deal, a huge and horrific crime that is only committed by evil bogeymen who attack completely women on the street late at night, and should not be applied to such acts as engaging in sexual intercourse with people who are a year or two or three from legal majority or other similar situations where it falls short of Scottish rape, if you will, then why cheapen the term by applying it to mundane situations, such as a very difficult exam, or a defeat in an athletic match?

@sfbos personally, I don't think that rape is a big deal at all and also most of the things that are considered rape in my opinion shouldn't, not really, and also I'm not from an English-speaking country so I have no emotions about this choice of words and have no right to answer.Still don't understand you though. At all. It's possible to be both 1 against genocide and 2 jokingly say "I was genocided by an exam"it's not like there is going to be a Hague/Nuremberg trial against an exam, because the exam is not a real object, and (in a way) does not exist.

@tempaccount I can’t imagine most people saying that they were “genocided by an exam”. I suppose a more standard equivalent would be “massacred by an exam” (though that’s still a little unusual). The analogy, then, would be Holocaust deniers liberally using the term “massacre” in a metaphorical sense, while denying that the Holocaust was a massacre. That’s not the best analogy, though, because I don’t think most Holocaut deniers would disagree that killing six million people is, in fact, a massacre. My understanding is that they just disagree whether it happened. Rape apologists claim that rape should be narrowly defined to brutal rape where the individual clearly did not consent and demonstrated an attempt to fend off the attack, and was also not married to the perpetrator, and so on. If rape apologists want rape to be narrowly defined, then they should not broaden the use of the word rape by using it metaphorically. I don’t know if I’d describe the metaphorical use of a word as a “joke”. All I’m asking for here is ideological consistency.

@sfbos I've read the expression once "Twitter/Reddit genocided X number of accounts", though, in that case it really wasn't a joke but a metaphore (or broadening of definition? doesn't matter)I've never heard the expression "raped by [this or that abstract thing / inanimate object] and never will, because I'm not in an English-speaking country.... you know, after re-reading your comment two or three times, I still don't understand your POV, so I never will, I'm sorry, but this is the end of the conversation.
