DU doesn't discuss anything. Instead, there are a bunch of DUers. We're the ones who discuss whatever is important enough to merit discussion. For some DUers, rape is evidently a topic of great importance. For others, not so much. So effectively, rape will always be talked about just the right amount on DU-- just the right amount being the depth of discussion that individual DUers want.

If you or I don't want to discuss rape, the solution of course is to not participate in discussions about rape-- NOT to discourage others from talking about it if that's the topic they want to discuss.
