Yeah, I'd say fandom waves(waved?) the word 'rape' around as bad and prevalent as online gaming (eg: "Bastard-sama is going to rape Wuss-kun! EEEEE ♥♥♥" vs. "u jus got raped wusssssss"), although awareness of rape culture seems to have shifted that a bit.

On the other hand, I don't think folk neglecting to use another term that suggests better rape is as important as not applying the same fantasies or tropes to real life. Not gonna deny that there's stupidity, but I'm not going to blow my lid when someone is obviously talking about ravishment or whatever preferable word.

Awareness of 'rape culture' actually made things worse, since it called what is ravishment "rape", and now you have people like OP.

"Ravish" isn't limited to trope lexicon; it's an actual word that still means rape. I get where you're coming from, and that it is popularized to mean romanticised rape over sexual violence. Nobody is charged for ravishing because it sounds ridiculous thanks to harlequin romance connotations.

But even though "rape is love" sounds really tasteless, unnecessary softening because rape is the harsher word right now is just beating around the bush when fandom is going to know exactly what your meaning when you bring it up in that context.

...I must have been in the wrong side of fandom...

No they don't. See: tumblr.

I already mentioned there's a change in fandom in that considering and talking about rape culture is a thing. If that means tumblr generic takes things out of context, it already does that with about every topic ever.
