Originally, the word rape was akin to rapine, rapture, raptor, and rapacious, and referred to the more general violations, such as looting, destruction, and capture of citizens that are inflicted upon a town or country during war, eg. the Rape of Nanking. Today, some dictionaries still define rape to include any serious and destructive assault against a person or community.

English rape was in use since the 14th century in the general sense of "seize prey, take by force," from raper, an Old French legal term for "to seize", in turn from Latin rapere "seize, carry off by force, abduct". The Latin term was also used for sexual violation, but only very rarely. The legendary event known as the "Rape of the Sabine Women", while ultimately motivated sexually, did not entail sexual violation of the Sabine women on the spot, who were rather abducted, and then implored by the Romans to marry them (as opposed to striking a deal with their fathers or brothers first, as would have been required by law).

Though the sexual connotation is today dominant, the word "rape" can be used in non-sexual context in literary English. In "the rape of the Silmarils" in J. R. R. Tolkien's "The Silmarillion", the word "rape" is used with its old meaning of "seizing and taking away". In Alexander Pope's The Rape of the Lock, the word "rape" is used hyperbolically, exaggerating a trivial violation against a person. Compare also the adjective rapacious which retains the generic meaning.

Sometimes, the word rape is used colloquially to dysphemistically describe forms of non-sexual unwelcome conduct, or metaphorically referring to environmental destruction, possibly implying a female gender of the Earth (Gaia). Other than in literary usage discussed above, this use of the term is unrelated to the original sense of "abduction" or "carrying off" and implies a comparison with sexual violation. In "The Rape of Nanking" actual mass rape and mass murder is summarized by naming the city as the object of the rape.

Rape is when a male or female (or other) forces a sexual act upon another male or female (or other). This is an illegal act that is punishable by prison for up to a life sentence. It has been seen as not real, which is a completely disgusting thing to even think about, because a FORCED sexual act should not be thought as fake.

A common thought is that rape is performed only by men, which is completely false. Rape is something possible to all genders, as a victim or performer of the crime.

A very bad crime in the real world, refers to forcing sex upon someone.

On any online game however, the meaning is changed from something completely different. It's interesting that one of the #1 internet insults is to attack someone's sexuality. But raped can be used in any sense, and will never, EVER be used by the rapee to accuse the rapist of being gay.

Word of warning, don't try and challenge that either...

Rape is when a male or female forcibly has sex with someone without the other person’s consent. Rape is a crime and it is very serious so please do not joke about it. Rape often leads to the victim committing suicide or going through a lot of anxiety and depression. I have been sexually harassed and nearly raped multiple times and i don’t rape jokes funny at all. Please everyone put yourself in other’s shoes and understand that rape is not a joke and the victim goes through a lot.

Forced sexual intercourse between any two people. Women are capable of raping men and men are capable of raping women. Today, the main group being raped by adults and teenagers are adolescents. Many people only think that only women can be raped, but this is not true. Men rape women mostly by either drugging them or physically beating them until they give in. This is a very traumatic and painful experience for anyone. Women rape men mostly by drugging them or blackmail, or by physically overpowering younger males. When people say that men can't be raped, they normally say: "They probably liked it" when they are presented with the argument of a grown women raping an adolescent boy. No one likes being raped. If someone likes it, that would defeat the purpose of it being a rape. And to say that would be outright sexism, which feminazis use to back up their hatred towards men. This is the second worst crime against humanity, the first is murder. I hope Jesus will give all rapists a slap in the back of the head and damn them to hell for eternity.
