	~~==A Tepid Defense of the Metaphor==~~

	~~Before you complain too much about this usage of the word "rape", realize that the metaphor was appealing for a series of reasons:~~

	* The absolute helplessness associated with both the gaming situations in question and the real life phenomena.
	* The parallel of "there is no way out of this except either the mercy of the abuser, outside interference, or not getting into that situation in the first place".
	* The sense that the abuser is a bad person, and a system that allows the situation to happen repeatedly is either flawed, bad, or evil.
	* "Ambush" and "Murder" both have a sense or implication of premeditation, whereas it is common for the gaming situations in question to arise by some combination of luck and bad decision-making by the victim.
	* "Massacre", the other obvious alternative, also has an implication that "more than three people die" (and is usually only used in real life for events where more than 5 people die), which means that it's not that great for cases where there's only a single victim of the "massacre" (as is common in RPGs like D&D), or the "victim" more or less survives.

	We could go on, but those should give at least ''some'' idea of why the temptation to use "rape" to describe anything along the lines of a critical failure on a [[Non Armor Defenses#Save_or_Die.2FSave_or_Suck \|Save or Die]] roll existed and still exists. That being said, yeah, many items on the "examples" list above are not that great. This page exists mainly to be used as a joke link on other pages, just like [[Awesome]], [[Fail]], [[Derp]], and [[What]], and to help people understand that, for example, when your [[Guardian]] Squad is caught within melee distance of a [[Maulerfiend]], then yeah, they're about to have a very bad time.
