    At first it was ironic, then it just became a muscle memory response.

    Plenty of people thought text acronyms were dumb and people were even dumber for saying them, even ironically. This is just you being one of those people for the new generation of “kids these days”

      There is no purpose for using the word ‘grape’ as a substitute for ‘rape’ other than to avoid tiktok moderation. It contains the full original word, therefore doesn’t serve any censorship purpose. Using it this way can even recontextualise the word in a way that trivialises SA. It’s harmful, unlike lol or lmao.
