It comes down to context, tbh.
You're right of course.
But, I just thought I would throw that post out there and make sure people feel uncomfortable.
The credo I live by is, "If I have even made one person feel uncomfortable, my work here is done..."
Actually, it's more of a guideline than a credo.
But, back to point:
Such a publicly unacceptable word as "rape" doesn't need to be used.
For instance, note below how I was able to use the imagery that was detailed first by Tony Stark, (Superman with Ego the Living Planet living in his ass), to cause the reader to actually envision Superman with a Blue Rump full of Ego the Living Planet, possibly frowning from under the cape with his huge, freaky "Planetstache".

Superman would think that had Ego living in his ass.

Then Supes and abhi can start a club.
This is immediately followed by my own posted reply, which suggests that abhi and Superman can then start a club.
This post places a new image in the reader's mind, only this image is now of both Superman and abhi, perhaps smiling and shaking hands, while both are sporting some form of "Planet-Filled" Hindquarters.
Thus, my point has been made without ever having to use any form of crude terminology at all, yet it ensures my goal of hinting that abhi would actually be an upper-level member of that club.
And, nobody is subjected to the use of a very serious and terrible term. I was able to take a much classier path to convey my opinion.
Thank you.
