  • novakaine, on 03/17/2009, -2/+53Today we learned that if you are not mindful of what you say the media will rape you.
  • NinjaBull, on 03/17/2009, -2/+24As a gamer, I had to laugh :)
  • inactive, on 03/17/2009, -2/+23LMAO, these PC crusaders would be shocked if they listened in on the gaming community.
  • bbrassi, on 03/17/2009, -2/+21People are saying that this is the biggest non-story of 2009.

    rape

    NOUN:

    1. The crime of forcing another person to submit to sex acts, especially sexual intercourse.
    2. The act of seizing and carrying off by force; abduction.
    * 3. Abusive or improper treatment; violation: a rape of justice.

    Seriously, those ***** need to STFU and stop playing the victim. Completely valid use of the word "rape".
  • elTito, on 03/17/2009, -3/+17And we think the PC Gestapo is bad in the US...
  • inactive, on 03/17/2009, -7/+17haha its funny because women really are 2nd class citizens
  • NoTiG, on 03/17/2009, -0/+10so if I say "he owned him" am I now condoning slavery?
  • Klak, on 03/17/2009, -1/+11what the ***** are "women's groups?" isnt feminism about equality? i dont see any "men's groups" complaining. men get raped too.
  • staffa, on 03/17/2009, -0/+7They just raped my feeling of common sense with the massive sticks they have stuck up their ass.

  • jacquesLEshock, on 03/17/2009, -1/+8Are you trivializing the holocaust?
  • Twelvevolts, on 03/17/2009, -0/+7Liverpool murdered Man United the other day and I don't think those Scouse supporters are being respectful to homicide victims everywhere.
  • oxdeltaxo, on 03/17/2009, -0/+6As a gamer, I agree.

    But I tend to phrase it differently.

    "He's not getting raped. No, they're just forcibly inserting those projectiles into his anus."
  • radison2, on 03/17/2009, -0/+5Rape has more than one definition. Where's George Carlin when you need him?
  • inactive, on 03/17/2009, -2/+7Unfair comparison. One is the harsh and brutal overpowering of another person to exhibit primitive dominance, and the other is, well, rape.
  • zombiecarlin, on 03/17/2009, -2/+7Womans Group in: "Rape only applies to Women Shocker!"
  • lwoodnj, on 03/17/2009, -2/+7Dear Women:

    Shut the hell up.
  • icndvl, on 03/17/2009, -1/+5Freedom of speech. You either have it or you don't.
  • Webbster, on 03/17/2009, -2/+6Ah come on.. you use the Daily Mail for this... dugg down.
  • chumpwagonrider, on 03/17/2009, -0/+4Well you sure raped the ***** out of all of those feminists' arguments.
  • Napiertt, on 03/17/2009, -0/+3I'm sorry, but Bayern RAPED Sporting Lisbon. Liverpool RAPED Madrid. Get over yourselves. Pathetic P.C *****
  • Shogi, on 03/17/2009, -2/+5Imagine watching a football/American football game and every use of the word 'tackle' was replaced with 'rape'.

    Now try not to laugh. I dare you. I ***** double-dog dare you.
  • setrajonas, on 03/17/2009, -0/+3Cue the misogynist digg brigade!
  • LilJimmyNordin, on 03/17/2009, -1/+4"Jeffrey Rowland, Overcompensating."

    Fix'd.
  • jjones20, on 03/17/2009, -1/+3Im starting to hate the word "pundit"
  • bilbohicks, on 03/17/2009, -0/+2Ah. Hasn't anyone told you?
  • jack2454, on 03/17/2009, -1/+3i rape in COD4.
  • AbsurdParadox, on 03/17/2009, -1/+3I'm thinkin your use of '*****' might undermine your credibility, slightly.
  • NCSD, on 03/17/2009, -0/+2"The only reason why I don't hit women is because I think I may enjoy it too much and won't be able to stop"

    RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE

    Sue me
  • SolidBones, on 03/17/2009, -1/+3I want to say he really didn't say anything wrong, but then again, you don't bring your bar/internet gaming/otherwise buddy-buddy talk to the workplace. It's not professional. As long as someone is paying you, especially for your image, you should mind your manners.
  • DrDetox, on 03/17/2009, -2/+4This story is out of control..... bloody hell people quit being so damn sensitive its only a word.
  • inactive, on 03/17/2009, -2/+4I'm thinking these women have never been given a brutal football tackle.
  • CJDesign, on 03/17/2009, -1/+3alan pardew is an absolute idiot.
    he was the old manager of charlton and just helped in our downfall..

    but to be fair it was just a spur of the moment comment from an east london lad
  • KungFooJesus, on 03/17/2009, -0/+2I did it as an absurd paradox. I though you of all people would understand. :)
  • mylesneal, on 03/17/2009, -0/+2You don't hear Ched Evans complaining about the "Rape"
  • ippey, on 03/17/2009, -0/+21 word can mean many things. Tell him to read the definition of the word.
  • mborys88, on 03/17/2009, -0/+2Are these the same people that crucified Clarkson when he referred to hitting a hooker with a truck on Top Gear?
  • murrdpirate, on 03/17/2009, -0/+1Yes, but it sucks that society gets so pissed off in the first place.
  • inactive, on 03/17/2009, -0/+1I rape plenty of men and boys on Battlefield 2142 every day.
  • AeBeeEll, on 03/17/2009, -0/+1Starting? Where have you been the last ten years?
  • JoshReflek, on 03/17/2009, -0/+1perhaps you mean tact.
  • Napiertt, on 03/17/2009, -0/+1We need borat to tell us about their tiny brains
  • xomp, on 03/17/2009, -1/+2never played counter strike?
  • psevium, on 03/17/2009, -2/+3What? I use it that way all the time.

    I don't condone rape, like it, support it, in any way, and I don't really feel im trivialising it by using it to describe a situation where someone is completely dominated/destroyed etc.

    I'm sorry for any victims of it, I couldn't agree more that it's horrendous, but if I'm using it as a metaphor and you get offended, then it's not up to me to change how I am to suit you.
  • jjones20, on 03/17/2009, -0/+1Ive just been hearing the word thrown around more and more now and its getting to be annoying.
  • mborys88, on 03/17/2009, -0/+1Does this mean football players that are "raped" are going to have to start their own support group?
  • coolcole93, on 03/17/2009, -0/+1http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJiehceTvRs&fea ...
  • Elohir, on 03/17/2009, -0/+1Funny, but not as funny as Joe Rogans 'rape choke' commentary.
  • GoKings, on 03/17/2009, -2/+3I saw that it was the Daily Fail so I was hoping it just wasn't true. But apparently it is. These PC feminists need to get a ***** life.
