How very generous of him to share his blissfull face with us, just for a few split seconds 👏

Fraping - The old fashioned jokes substituted with intruding privacy.

Do you remember the time when we used to make harmless jokes on behalf of somebody, laugh a bit and move on? Well, digital media has made it possible to take these jokes to another level - a level where your pranks can get you in prison for 10 years and cost you $2700. Frape is a term that emerged in the beginning of 21st century with the increasing popularity of social media platforms. It is described in the dictionary as “The act of Raping someones Facebook profile when they leave it logged in. Profile pictures, sexuality and interests are commonly changed however fraping can include the poking or messaging of strangers from someone else's Facebook account.”

It is used mainly by teenagers who frape not only their friends but their parents, teachers and dates. A girl shares in a forum that she fraped her mother by posting on her Facebook wall “OH god.. I'm pregnant again.. not sure whether to be down or excited!! x” She had a good laugh for certain but imagine her mother’s shock when she started receiving congratulation calls, messages and posts! Other people joke with their friends sexuality: “is it wrong that I find squirrels attractive?”, add new friends to their profile or delete old ones, change their names or relationship status.

Most of today’s youngsters can openly admit that they have fraped their friends before. They do it with the intention to make a joke, laugh a bit and delete the post. But what happens when people use fraping as a revenge? You may get fined and end up being sent to jail. On 6th April 2011 an Irish man found out his girlfriend cheated on him and decided to confront her. His revenge included taking her phone and posting on her Facebook wall that she was a “whore” and “would take any offers”. People would judge her, make a few mean comments and she would learn her lesson, right? But this story had a different turnout. The man had been prosecuted under the country's Criminal Damages Act, which imposes a maximum prison sentence of 10 years and $13,600 fine. The case marked the first time someone had been held liable for damages involving a social media account. He avoided prison time when the judge determined a monetary penalty was more appropriate, fining the defendant $2,700. This particular man might have found his way out of jail for the offence on his ex-girlfriend but others who try and follow his example may spend the next 10 years of their lives locked behind bars.

Even though the fraping trend has emerged as means of joking with people and having fun, it has gone too far. Far enough so that is could be called “Facebook rape”. And far enough that the issue of its consequences is being discussed by politicians.

Fraping offends millions of people every year especially when used for the purpose of “getting back” at somebody. The only way for that trend to stop is if the problem reaches a wider range of people and more countries follow Ireland’s example and make it illegal and prohibited.

'Fraping' Leads To Reducing Of Openly Gay Men

Archive (8/6/2011)

A study by the magazineGay Timeshas revealed that the act of 'Facebook raping', or 'fraping', has led to a sudden drop in the number of men willing to admit that they are homosexual for fear of being lynched by their friends.

Wilfred St. Dove, a Gay Times spokesman, explained that 'even though 'fraping' has become so common place, boring and tedious, people still seem to do it in record numbers. But it is the reaction to the apparently joke gay confessional status updates that has caused nervous homosexuals to shrink away in fear.'

Examples of such 'frapes', in which an unwitting person leaves their Facebook account logged in or unattended while in the company of others, include: 'Mr X is a fukin masif homo n luvz huge dick up the arse'; 'Mr X loves it when my boyfriend blows his huge steaming load all over my face'; 'Mr X wants to get his back door smashed in by a fleet of sailors tonight'; 'Mr X is chilling out to some Elton John tonight'; 'Mr X is gay.'

Such reactions to these fraped status updates include: 'Gutted u nob allwaiz new u waz a batti boi!11!'; 'What would you're family say you filthy faggot? rolf'; 'I heard you liked facials'; 'We can't be friends anymore, I hate gays lmao'; 'I'm so disappointed, what a waste!'

Mr. St. Dove claims that the Facebook public are regularly mistaking confessional status updates for 'frapes', publicly humiliating friends who are simply trying to open up about their sexual preferences. Naturally, the person trying to make the revelation goes along with the joke because they have suddenly realised that all of their friends are violent homophobes.

Mr St. Dove has urged all Facebook users to use some common sense when using the website, but is holding out little hope of that happening.

Fraping really isn't that funny anymore

Especially when it's the same person being fraped, all the time.

Just, take better care of your shit, it's becoming less and less funny every time.

yo! long time no talk. i have a question: what is fraping?

Hello there! :)

'Frape' is a sick mix of the word 'facebook' and 'rape'. It's when you leave your computer unattended and logged in on FB, and your friends 'violate' your page by doing anything as small as a stupid status ("omg i love big cock in my ass", "I have genital herpes what should I do" - yes I have seen these examples) or by going as far as changing their icon, likes, cover photo etc to embarrassing things, e.g. this guy got fraped and his icon was changed to two dudes making out and all his 'likes' were gay-related pages. HAHA SO FUNNY AMIRITE. -_-

It's not the actual act that pisses me off, it's the word. Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to compare your fb profile being 'violated' to sexual abuse? I just hate seeing the word, over and over again, on fb, and no one thinking how fucked up the word is.

The Urban Dictionary entry on it. Gotta love #6, "The art of facebook rape".
