And I grew up in a shithole backwards ass area of America. yes many people actually think like that and you are fortunate to have avoided them. why did you fart? Also, talking about rape in terms of a game has nothing to do with the sexual act. If you can't differentiate between the two, well, that's just sad. That being said, using the term while being an e-sports figure is pretty dumb because you know, e-sports  .except for using the exact same word to mean completely dominate. if you can't avoid using offensive words then that's just sad. | ||

Rape culture is a fairly ingrained part of society and anyone that studies urban, feminine, or anthropological/sociological studies knows that it's not just a phrase, but a cultural norm. | ||

Regarding this whole "crusade against rape" and putting a stop to "rape culture" (a bullshit term), it is a fabricated, nonsensical focus on one specific crime because it is (ostensibly) an engendered crime. Rape is a violent crime, like any other violent crime. We can talk about how they shouldn't happen, or they are bad and we should try to eliminate them (all of which are true), but you don't see people seriously talking about ending all murders by removing "murder culture." We live in a society (western) that you can see assault and murder on tv almost any time of day. Yet there aren't these "conversations" of "murder culture," or ideas that if we just inform everyone that murder is bad, murder will stop. Yet for some reason, rape is given this special treatment. Like we might realistically live in a world where no one would ever be raped. That it is a practical goal in thinking if we just "discuss" it enough, people will realize that rape isn't actually ok, and will stop. After that, we'll tell everyone not to murder or steal. We'll get them off that, too. But let's tackle rape first. Rape gets special attention because it is (ostensibly) one sex committing a crime against another sex (although this isn't true, this is how it is portrayed). This is bullshit. I'm not saying rape is ok; it isn't. I'm not saying blaming the victim is fine; it's not. What I am saying is the idea that rape is a special kind of crime, and that any method that prevents rape outside of trying to eliminate "rape culture" is actually enforcing "rape culture" (an argument that seems to be gaining traction), is idiotic, and needs to stop. Rape will always occur, no matter what. Personal safety will always ultimately fall on the individual (whether this is "right" or not), and if you feel like you need to take measures to protect yourself from ANY sort of crime, then do so, within the boundaries of the law. | ||

SC2 players have a long history of trivializing rape. It has nothing to do with trivialising rape... In this context "rape" meant "crush" or "own" as in "I crushed/owned you!". It has nothing to do with the act of raping a helpless woman. It's the same with fuck.You would laugh if I were to say that the pure act of sexual intercourse is being trivialised every time some guy gets excited, happy, angry or frustrated. | ||

I honestly do not understand. I think in the entire civilized world raping anyone is frowned up and punished with jail? Can you maybe give some examples of what is this rape culture you talk about? Someone mentioned putting your dick inside a passed out girl before; well yeah that's obviously rape and I think 99% of ppl would agree? | ||

Well get this, women getting raped isn't a cultural thing, it's a crime. Slaves, the oppression of blacks by whites and Africa getting exploited ( just so you know, I was about to use the "R" word. would you say it would be appropriate there ? yes? no? could you repeat the question?) was fully culturally ingrained. Comparing the two is nothing more then short-sighted. | ||

In any case, the Netherlands isn't quite as bad with rape culture, and we don't have disturbed right wing talk show hosts or politicians perpetuating this sort of thing, but there are a significant number of people that want to say these things despite it not being acceptable.

(A desire to have a person be dead, maybe?) Overwhelmingly, the main motivation for rape is sex. Yes, their are exceptions to that rule but that does not change the fact that rape is a sexual crime In most cases during a rape violence occurs when the girl resists the initial assault. After the rapist is done satisfying himself, he does not stick around to beat the hell out of the victim. Violent crimes are completely different from sexual crimes. You don't hear many cases about somebody hitting a person in the head with a baseball bat then ejaculating afterwords. | ||
