RE: The First Rule of Steemit...

Rape is sexual violence, most often perpetuated against women and nearly always perpetuated by men. It's about gendered power relationships. It's unfortunate that it is being used and normalised in this context. The activity that is taking place is opportunistic, exploitative, although some might argue that it's perfectly legitimate entrepreneurialism, but it's not rape.

Pillage would be a more appropriate word anyway.

Yes, although even that has connotations of violence. I notice that someone was using plunder earlier today.

YES,I should have parenthesized that word!
