To think the word 'frape' is just awful

[Okonomiyaki]

First off, apologies if everyone already knows this word, I'm a bit of a latecomer to facebook.

I saw the status update of some random after a mutual friend had commented on it. Won't go into what the update said as that's a whole thread a in itself but the poster came back to comment on his update a few minutes later saying he had been 'fraped', ie that someone had written a joke update when he'd left his account logged in.

AIBU to think this is an awful word and to wonder why the hell anyone in their right mind would use it?

I'm not upset, dittany. Not in the least. It takes a lot more than being the lone dissenter in an internet discussion to upset me.

I have said several times that it was unnecessary. Not that it upset me. I could have found lily's post upsetting, were I given to being easily upset. She didn't know that I wasn't that sensitive. Therefore she could have really upset someone with that, and it was unnecessary.

Lily, your apology (if it was directed at me) was also unnecessary, because I'm not upset by it. But thank you for it all the same.

Wow, dittany. You have reached new heights of passive-aggressive projection.

I have work to do.

Hate the term with a passion. Loads of teenage girls on dss fb use it and I just want to shake them and explain the implications if what they are saying. :(

Okonomiyaki - Just to say my DH and I both fell in love with you when we lived in Japan in'96.

• Especially after a day of skiing when we'd pop out to the local cafe/restaurant and they'd rustle one up for us before our eyes. I often had mine with pumpkin !

Went to London yesterday and had some edamame which I ate in the sunshine in Trafalgar Square, and an onogiri which I had in the park near the Embankment !
Happy memories !

jesus wept dittany, that arguement was gay.

Now tell me i'm homophobic :)

I won't say you're homophobic but I will warn you that you could be insensitive about someone's religion insinuating that Jesus wept over this...

Thank goodness there are still some people left who haven't had their mouths replaced with cats' bums

OP yanbu, it's sad that people can trivialise rape like that when there are far better terms that could be used. I'd say I'd been hijacked if it happened to me as that seems the most obvious term.

I can't believe someone thinks birth rape means a bad birth experience! I find that worse than frape! I'm not getting into it here though because it's not the place and I'm mobile from a hospital bed and don't need the stress of fighting it. If I get home before this thread dies I'll post a link that seems fitting.

I think it's very like the stupid "yawn rape" thing.

Meant in a harmless way, but bloody insensitive to people around you who may have all sorts of bad experiences relating to the word.

IMO homophobia isn't because some people use the word "gay" as an insult. They are much deeper issues than that. My sister is a lesbian and struggled coming out, seriously self harmed but she doesn't feel the reason for that is because people use the word to mean something bad, it also means happy and she isn't defined by that one word alone.

there are

I hate the term. It almost makes rape sound acceptable

I have complained on numerous times about the use of the word frape on facebook.
My db came up with fhack instead

The word Gay did not always refer to homosexuality it got hijacked
