- sneak 13y agoNo, it's not. It references rape, but is not synonymous. Its current definition is roughly synonymous with "unreasonably upset".
- WhaleBiologist 13y agoUnless you are a rape victim you have no right to determine what is and isn't acceptable usage of the term. Please respect the triggers of other people and check your privilege.
- x0x0 13y agobutthurt isn't slang for rape, and you don't get to decide what the community understanding of the meaning is. Which is someone unreasonably upset. source: my understanding, peer understandings, and every post on urbandictionary
- Zikes 13y agoI see, I've suggested a very simple change to a single word of your comment which would make it more inclusive to the community, but you have refused to change it and instead taken a stand of principle. I now have the choice of respecting your decision, or pressing the big red button to incite an internet mob upon you and score one for radical feminism. I'll let you know my decision shortly.

- aktau 13y agoI think it's a bit ironical that you seem to be acting "butthurt", threatening with internet mobs and such (and the gloomy prospects of someone losing their job if they don't bow down to your pressure).

- wpietri 13y agoEvidence? Know Your Meme documents it as related to spanking: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/butthurt http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/butthurt That matches my understanding of butthurt as an overreaction to being chastised or shamed.
- tks2103 13y ago"butthurt" is the pain you feel in your anus after being anally raped. If you scroll down on that knowyourmeme page that you linked, you will see a set of memes in the "Buttfrustrated" category. The Brony meme has a set of insults that reference the anal rape: "Im sur thers sumpony who can help fill ur ass with semen laced hrut". The percentage of cases in which a person is referencing "butthurt" to indicate a spanking is vanishingly small. Play the game "League of Legends" and complain when you lose. Ask people what they mean when they claim you must be "butthurt". Did I just type those words?
