    Then don’t you think it’s a shame that someone who is so outspoken against those practices is alienating a chunk of his audience?

        Can you explain why you believe the word “rape” needs to be said in this context?

            Honestly, as a survivor of sexual assault, we find this comment to be really awful.

                I wasn’t presuming that, merely explaining where my opinion is founded. I don’t think the normalisation of mis-using that word for metaphorical purposes is a good thing, there isn’t really much more to it than that.
