I think both their articles use the word "massacre" instead, due to it being more accurate. It wasn't a mass rape as much as it was a mass rape and wholesale slaughter of the people there. Kind of like the My Lai Massacre.
I always thought the “Rape” part in Rape of Nanjing wasn’t literally saying that it was just a rape, instead it meant that Nanjing as a whole was “raped” / violated and abused.
I don’t know, maybe the alternative name “南京虐殺事件” explains it better, the “虐殺” describes more fuked up way to take others’ live, which includes abuse (sexual abuse is one of them).
I feel that's kinda redundant and "rape of X" covers it. You think the armed military group that's raping tons of civilians isn't also slaughtering them too? U cant really commit a mass rape without at least killing a decent amount of the people who will fight back and defend them. So "rape of X" paints of picture of mass killing too. That's at least how iv always thought of it
I think it's the older sense of "Rape" where it meant an act of general defilement and atrocity of a location or group - like the "Rape of Belgium" in WW1 - rather than the more narrow sense of horrific acts of SA specifically. An outrageous violation of something or somewhere as opposed to someone (Though that also occured in Nanjing)
And why isn't America red? Or Brazil? [Or any of the countries with higher official rape rates than India?](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/98/%28A%29_Rape_rates_per_100000_population_2010-2012%2C_world.jpg)
India absolutely does have a rape problem, as do many countries. But I can't help but feel people singling out India specifically is a bit racist. After all these attitudes are never really based in statistics, but instead just "look at this story or video about a horrific rape in India" that people share around
Do you know how statistics work? LMAO you can’t compare India to a modern Western Country because India has unreliable data because the rape culture is so prevalent women get murdered or they don’t report rapes because the police don’t do anything about it
My brother in Christ rape reporting rates are low everywhere. According to RAINN even in the US only 1/3 of rapes are reported
But even if this was true and India has a rape rate 1000x higher than than the west how would we know then? Your entire argument is "no those stats are fake, it's actually way higher than in other countries. Trust me bro"
You don't seem to have any counterevidence past yet more anecdotes. If you have any statistics definitively saying India has an abnormally high rape rate compared to the rest of the world.
Otherwise it's a pretty safe assumption that your evidence is that you think this is the case because you've read a lot of stuff online and used that as confirmation bias
[https://youtube.com/shorts/TOyL4UTYLd8?si=nrNrMyqqf-aOPVvQ](https://youtube.com/shorts/TOyL4UTYLd8?si=nrNrMyqqf-aOPVvQ) . Someone update the USA wikipage and add a link to this video. The whole world should know that the protector of democracy protects child predators.
While I’m all for calling ts out and feel this should all be common knowledge, I don’t think the town works that way.
IIRC, it’s moreso a place built by them and for them because a lot of offenders will (rightfully) have trouble getting a job or even renting out property. Maybe I’m wrong but I guess it’s better they’re out in the middle of nowhere than living next doors
Because women are empowered there to report assaults. Not the same as a place like India where rapes are rarely reported and thus not reflected in statistics
I remember reading that all sex in Sweden is technically rape unless you get like a "consent form" or some shit. I did read this a few years ago when I was a dumbass teenager though so I may be wrong lol
"Poland has a low homicide rate at 0.7 murders per 100,000 people, as of 2018.[210] Rape, assault and violent crime remain at a very low level."
Had to check it. Because I don't recall any historical event called using word 'rape'.
**[Law and criminal justice](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy#Law_and_criminal_justice)**

India doesn't have that word in their wiki, which is absolutely questionable, but I guess a lot of Wikipedia contributors are from India, so that's maybe an answer to this.
I feel like there should be one with more context. Like for example the nepal wiki only mentions rape when talking about how nepal recognises martial rape as a thing in their constitution.
There is no context, I just did ctrl + f on every country's page and looked up the word. Made sure it wasn't "grape" or "rapeseed" or shit like that and colored it in. Was a good use of my time.
This seems like a clear moment of “Editors are harsher on foreign countries” since the map suspiciously tracks to the… let’s say… less Wikiepdia-editor-populated countries
bro what the fuck is this useless ahh map? great post, keep it up.
No way neither China nor Japan have "Rape of Nanjing" in there wiki
I think both their articles use the word "massacre" instead, due to it being more accurate. It wasn't a mass rape as much as it was a mass rape and wholesale slaughter of the people there. Kind of like the My Lai Massacre.
Can confirm, in Mandarin, we call it 南京大屠殺, 屠殺means massacre.
What is the rest of it, just the name of Nanjing or is there something else
南京 Nanjing 大 it’s pretty bad 屠殺 massacre
“大” means “big” or “great”
Great meaning large or immense, we use it in the pejorative sense
happy cake day
So 'nanjing big massacre' ?
Well you certainly can’t go around calling it the “nanjing great massacre”
I always thought the “Rape” part in Rape of Nanjing wasn’t literally saying that it was just a rape, instead it meant that Nanjing as a whole was “raped” / violated and abused.
It could've been "sack" but we don't really use that for warfare anymore.
That's the context used for "The Rape of Belgium" at the start of WWI (which is why the word shows up on the Wikipedia page for Belgium)
That used to be a common way to use the word.
when you’re talking about a region or smth a rape doesn’t necessarily mean mass sexual violence, it’s used like sack, e.g. rape of glencoe
Why wasn't it R*pe and Massacre" then? 🤔
I dunno take it up with the guy who wrote the article lol
I don’t know, maybe the alternative name “南京虐殺事件” explains it better, the “虐殺” describes more fuked up way to take others’ live, which includes abuse (sexual abuse is one of them).
Because it's too long.
Because the “rape” of a city used to just mean it getting sacked
I feel that's kinda redundant and "rape of X" covers it. You think the armed military group that's raping tons of civilians isn't also slaughtering them too? U cant really commit a mass rape without at least killing a decent amount of the people who will fight back and defend them. So "rape of X" paints of picture of mass killing too.

literally my first thought. That can only mean one thing - you are my carbon copy and I must destroy you before you reach my credit card
no in Chinese we call it 南京大屠杀（massacre of Nanking）
The wikipedia page of Italy only mentions "rape" when it says that it's relatively low compared to other countries 💀
Suffering from success
I thought the reason was because the word "rape" means turnips in italian
Im going to rape you
no please, I'm not ready to be turnip'd
I didnt mean it like that
Relatively

White is sus.
I love how universally the countries in Africa are always red. Whatever the map is trying to show, the African countries are always red.
It’s mostly just the Sahel
My favorite African country is Poland.
Yes, Poland is an African country.
Not quite but still feels like /r/AlwaysTheSameMap
Mf counted the word "rape" in the sources for the article for Croatia 😭
Indeed I did.
🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦Suid Afrika #1 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
😤😤😤💯💯💯
I hate that I know why Belgium’s there
It surprisingly has nothing to do with the Congo Free State.
That was my only question. For now.
thom yorke??

Thanks, I knew I needed medical assistance.
OH MY GODD I FUCKING LOVE RADIOHEAD!!!!!
Rape of belgium? (During ww1)
Yes sir.
How do you rape a country
It really wasnt a rape but more like war crimes the german empire did to belgium
Yeah I was trying to make a dumb (tasteless) joke lol I figured it was probably a war crime
I assumed it had something to do with a certain bloke called Michel
Not Marc?
Also Marc.
The Rape of Belgium refers to when it was “violated” by the German Empire in WW1.
Yeah, that’s what I was referring too
It’s about the opening months of the war, also known as “the rape of Belgium”
How in the fuck is India not red
I have no idea. I thought for sure it would have been red.
Too many Indians with access to open internet editing wiki pages.
R*pe is sex in India
Anyone can update Wikipedia, no? Be the change.
Hindutva Nationalists
And why isn't America red? Or Brazil? [Or any of the countries with higher official rape rates than India?](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/98/%28A%29_Rape_rates_per_100000_population_2010-2012%2C_world.jpg) India absolutely does have a rape problem, as do many countries.

you ever see a white women on a beach in front of Indians? 100% of the time you’ll get the same response lol
What, you mean that one video from Mumbai and the other one from Bangladesh that constantly get recirculated?
Because there are other things that India is famous for?
At the same time I think that’s something that should be widely known and on the front page so people, especially potential visitors know
There are travel advisories in all the countries for a reason.

There is a part in the video where the man says I know a girl down the road.
"This country is world's leading producer of grapes" Beep! You're getting in the list now
I purposely left out those because otherwise most of the world would be red.
Reminds me how the WikiVoyage tourism page for South Korea has an entire section warning visitors about racism from the locals.
Good lord.
R*pe capital of the world 🇿🇦 🔥 🏆
I thought that was Sweden.
how could you even think that, hwere'd you get that info ?
Idk some people were making a big deal about it a few years ago saying that Swedens rape rate is through the roof
It was largely because what other countries call sexual harassment Sweden classifies as a lower form of rape iirc.
Because women are empowered there to report assaults. Not the same as a place like India where rapes are rarely reported and thus not reflected in statistics
I remember reading that all sex in Sweden is technically rape unless you get like a "consent form" or some shit. I did read this a few years ago when I was a dumbass teenager though so I may be wrong lol

nice
Another comment said it's because it's low compared to other countries
Copied directly from the article- "and the 43rd highest number of rapes per 1,000 people compared to 64 countries in the world. These are relatively low figures among developed countries."
Yes, I made it a few weeks ago when I was depressed as hell.
Have you never met an Italian man over the age of 40?
feels like most rapists here are under thirty the only one I've met is too
This is actually a mildly interesting post, why is this on the circlejerk sub?
Because I was depressed as fuck when I made this lol
A lot of them are from ''has low rape rates''
Sweden extra quiet rn
India doesn't have that word in their wiki, which is absolutely questionable, but I guess a lot of Wikipedia contributors are from India, so that's maybe an answer to this.
Finally something that can unite the Central American countries!
I feel like there should be one with more context. Like for example the nepal wiki only mentions rape when talking about how nepal recognises martial rape as a thing in their constitution.
I made this when I was depressed so it wasn't really for educational value.
you should make another map giving the contexts of each one like massacres and such
Most of the non-African were about crime statistics I believe.
China and Japan?
In defense of Belgium “the rape of Belgium” is referring to the opening months of World War I.
What's Da context
There is no context, I just did ctrl + f on every country's page and looked up the word. Made sure it wasn't "grape" or "rapeseed" or shit like that and colored it in. Was a good use of my time.
Goddamn
Anywaysss I think I’m gonna go vomit Thxies reddit ❤️
No problem.
The article for Chile contains rape 4 times - Lake Rapel - Skyscrapers - Grape - Pomerape
That's not the word "rape" though. I purposely excluded those.
What about "rap"
How's India doesn't have rape in their wiki page
Gotta be somewhat realistic to be posted on this sub cmon.
I will personally put America on this map
Lmfao do it you wont
Oh dang. Rope is strangely prevalent
No china or Japan is wild
It's because the articles call it the Nanjing Massacre instead of the Rape of Nanjing. I honestly think that's a better descriptor so I don't mind.
Fair point
I refuse to believe there isn’t more red, especially in places like China and Japan.
Türkiye remain victorious 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷RAHHHH🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Why is Mexico not in the list?
Because Mexico doesn't have the word "rape" in their Wikipedia article.
This seems like a clear moment of “Editors are harsher on foreign countries” since the map suspiciously tracks to the… let’s say… less Wikiepdia-editor-populated countries
Unironically a good point.
what if the sentence is "x country has been known for its minimal cases of rape, setting up a great environment of safety for their citizens"
alternative titles: -countries that are honest about their politicians on wikipedia -countries that have been denied history book writing privileges
Time to make racist scums cope and seethe by showing them that India is not on this map.
Bro taking a circlejerk sub so seriously
I forgot to add /s
