Just so we're clear on definitions, I believe the common use of the diminutive term "rapey" is synonymous with "sexual harassment" such as an HR department might define it.

We have noticed that undue attention from attractive people is, typically, not considered "creepy". It is instead considered "flattering". Nope, again, harassment. Sexually inappropriate behavior.

The character Will Riker on Star Trek: the Next Generation is an example of an generally-considered-attractive man who is sexually harassing as hell. And when I watch the show now (which I do all the time, because it's basically my favorite show), Riker seems problematic to me.
I don't throw the whole show out because of it, and that's a value judgement on my part. So to wrap up the whole thread, for me, I've just proven myself to be doing the same thing as people who still like that song. So, go ahead. I'm doing it so you can do it too. Or, we're both wrong.
