Is it even possible to rape someone's childhood? Maybe while it's happening. I don't think you can rape an period of someone's life once it's already in the past. I don't know. If a tree falls in the woods...???

I think this was just a reactionary phrase coined by someone on a message board long ago to counter some heartfelt diatribe. Personally, I think "George Lucas raped 'Star Wars'" is more accurate. If Lucas did rape my childhood, he did it with "Howard the Duck." I saw duck boobs and I was never the same.
