MODERATORS
I'm not sure if English is your first language (if not, you write it very well). Direct translations can cause all sorts of misunderstandings. For a native English speaker, that is a rape joke.
Hi, no english is not my first language, thank you for the compliment tho.
Anyway, another word that I could have used would have been "prepare to get fucked" still sexual; is it still "rapey" ?
Weirdly enough, that wouldn't come across as a rape joke. I know, it makes no sense.
Lol.
So if someone is eating a really spicy chili and I say "Prepare your anus".
Is it a rape joke ?
Not a native speaker either but I feel presenting the original comment as a rape joke is a stretch.
Context matters.
Also breaking news, plenty of Police forces and prison guards are able to kindly ask you to "prepare your anus" and in a very much legal manner. This is how I understood the original comment.
In the context of eating spicy food, it is fine.
In the context of law enforcement, it is 100% a rape joke.
How is it a rape if it's legal and the person consents to it ?
Oh well whatever. This is pointless.
This whole conversation has really derailed at some point...
Oh, you're a troll. Fuck off.
