...do we really need to use the word "raping" to talk about PC performance or can we agree that there are a hundred other words that fit better in that spot?
EDIT: Wooo free downvotes. Y'all are a bunch of snowflakes. I tried to make a point on behalf of others, since there are people who have traumatic lived experience with the concept of "rape" and would probably prefer not to be reminded of it. Nobody serious about computing is going to go out and say "this process is raping the performance" because it's just not a good idea. I bet you (if in tech field) wouldn't say it in front of your boss. But sure, call me sensitive and pull out a semantic argument.
I can smell you through your screen. Go take a shower and try being human.
you're limiting your interpretation of rape to a single definition. there are multiple, and this certainly fits as one
I know it's hard, but you'll get through this. One day at a time, step by step, things will get easier. Some days it might not feel like you're making any progress; Some days you'll feel like you're moving backwards. But time heals all wounds. You've got this, eventually you won't even remember their comment existed. Stay. Strong. Keep fighting.
Hah. I never even said the comment hurt me.
I'm just speaking on behalf of those who have been hurt. If you can't recognize why someone might do that, you're either a rape apologist or you're an incel troll. Probably both.
Its going to be okay. We all run from our feelings sometimes.
sometimes facing fears is a better way to overcome problems. hiding or making everyone avoid things that bother you or were a traumatic experience doesn't help anyone.
I used this word because it's definition applys to the scenario. It's the act of pilaging and plundering of my system resources by microsoft and other monitoring tools with no recourse but to abandon them. rape is a perfectly fine word to use. if it was strictly limited to sexual acts, I wouldn't have used it.
edit: I use this word at work too and have no issues with it both verbally and written. moreso verbally because people can't apply multi definitions of words and always assume 1 main definition
