This is an example:
I don't see it as an issue. But I guess other people do.
I would just like other's outtake on this debate.
If possible please give opinions on rape being used as 'destroyed'. |

| I just know that I call everyone a 'fag' despite them not being gay nor stupid. Noz3001 is the exception to that rule though. |

Refresh, rape does mean more than the sexual definition.
However, "faggot, fag, gay," etc. are commonly misused to express something that is "bad" or generally disliked by a person. I've found that many people I confront actually do know they're misusing a word, although not always knowing what the proper definition or use is.
For example, the Westboro Baptist Church:
Known protesting just about anything to say it's god's will that someone, somewhere, at any time, is in pain because of non-believers, homosexuals, and so on, they are probably most known for the misuse of those words and know they are misusing them. It's just a matter of putting emphasis to imply a greater or more threatening meaning.
Psychology works in such a way, that a word you yourself know has no meaning in a sentence will work against you for the meaning you know it has been used for that does not apply.
For example: "A faggot" vs. "A homosexual"
From context, you know what the person means in the first sentence, and it bares a heavier weight on the mind then the second. (Is anyone else thinking "All the World's a Stage" at this point?) The meaning is only known because it has been used against a certain group before. If I were to say, "kill the tomatoes," no-one would understand what I meant. Tomato (as far as I know) has not been used to discriminate a certain group in history. It's all a matter of psychology when misusing words. |
