Why open up the possibility for negative or innapropriate convos. Nip it in the bud.

=l Per. ^ Having these words unblocked will just introduce more negative outcomes than positive. B & B The most extreme outcomes possible in the long run are that A) people are more educated about an issue in our society and using that education we can stop it being so taboo that people don't report it so criminals get away and B) people know about condoms and the number of teen pregnancies and STD contractions go down.

Neither of those sound particularly negative. :P Perhaps. But as you compared it to other things such as murder and theft, we allow things to be said such as "*kills you*", or "*stabs you*", "*steals that from you*" on chat because we have no restrictions on those things. If we unblocked the word Rape and grouped it with those two other things, would we allow things to be said such as "*Rapes X User*" or as Jdude's example,  "you got raped by that car dealer on your car price,"? Because I take the topic of rape very seriously, I do not want those examples to be said commonly and for it to be allowed.

I would also like to point out that having a word blocked is not ignoring the subject, I just think that subject in particular is not one that our wiki should be discussing so often that we should have those two words unblocked. If those two subjects should be discussed or debated on, PM is there and so is CLFW or any other wiki. But I just do not think it is a subject that our wiki should be touching down on in chat. The word rape is only being unblocked to stop the cultural mindset that its a thing you can't talk about it, which prevents people from going forward if it does happen to them.
