Now... while I wholly agree that 'rape' meaning sexual assault is a very very BAD thing, 'RAPE' IS NOT A SWEAR WORD. It can mean many things. There's a crop we grow here commonly referred to as rape seed. You can rape a bank account (which doesn't mean you tied it to a bed and forced yourself on it).
I don't have the ability to talk to reporters in-game (yet)... but if you reported a country with this word in it and it wasn't deleted (or changed), this is why - because the country name could have been entirely innocent, depending on context. So please consider this when reporting country names. ;)
If that's the case, then why was my country name changed out from under me? My country name (I'm An AnalRapist) was clearly a reference to Arrested Development, one that many people on AT noticed and pointed out. Yet it was still changed. Any help on this inconsistency would be appreciated.
