Nobody's saying that it's actually rape. It's meant metaphorically.

Nobody\'s saying that harming somebody\'s mind actually is a form of rape. The trope name is meant metaphorically. \"Words have meaning and they need to be used properly.\" Yeah, but metaphors don\'t constitute improper use of words. You might as well say that calling somebody a sexist pig is wrong because being sexist doesn\'t change one\'s species.
And one might say that comparing mental torture to rape diminishes the agony of rape, but the thing is, many of the trope examples really \'\'are\'\' as horrible to suffer through as rape. One doesn\'t diminish rape by comparing it to something that\'s equally agonizing (or even worse).
