"A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes a subject by asserting that it is, on some point of comparison, the same as another otherwise unrelated object." This is from wikipedia. I don't think forcing someone to have sex with you is at all similar to beating someone in a game. Edit: I can come with some suggestions: killing (because in the game you kill each other), defeating (because you have to defeat your opponent in starcraft - not a metaphor though), crushing, destroying, mining (hehe, because he likes mines). | ||

While I do appreciate the lecture on which metaphors can and cannot be used to describe ones dominance over another, I will still use the phrasing rape. Mainly because it is pretty used when describing a player in a video game showing complete domination. Also 2/10. | ||

Well to quote iloveoov: "When you play, you have to start off with a mind to turn the game into a rape" On September 20 2013 01:41 Grovbolle wrote: I personally think that Taeja might be the most complete Terran player currently, and can't wait to see how he does at Blizzcon. I get more and more convinced you're a genius each time you make an aligulac write-up! TaeJa fans are just better than other fans. | ||

The form is still a secret (I don't want to lookup the code) the reason to argue it is because it's a sensitive and traumatic term to a lot of people for reasons that are more important than video games. so any place is the right place to argue. there are people out there who use TL who have been through sexual abuse or had a friend or family member sexually abused, so someone needs to be speaking out for those people regardless of whether it ruins your poor starcraft statistics thread. it's worth being mocked or even banned to say these things. so stop using it unless you're an asshole. | ||

But I'm just saying you should mind it in the future. Also 1/10 for you. then what about "bombed" and "killing" etc? aren't they social issue as well? | ||

I think it's the teams 5 best players, and then we match them up vs. the top 5 players from the other teams. It's just a theoretical measure. | ||

Please recheck. Agreed, pretty sure it is just some test data/numbers TheBB slapped together  | ||
