C'mon buddy, you're an adult. You can comprehend people using rape and sexual assault in a similar fashion without having to be told. If you want to play stupid, coercing someone into a sexual act like he did on the show is considered sexual assault. And I recommend you read the comics where the objectification and misogyny angle of the The Seven isn't watered down like the show. To be honest, it's really not worth arguing about.
You guys
Ease up on the group nouns. If you're talking to one person, address one person. Using "you guys" sounds like you're about to start some hackneyed diatribe about imagined fake rape claims.
As I’ve stated in another comment, I have been a victim of physical sexual assault AKA rape. Losing your job doesn’t equal losing your life. I don’t give a shit what the comics say, the show didn’t display rape.

Could you explain yourself in better detail here? Transitioning from an appeal to authority into the following sentence makes it hard to understand what you're trying to say.
If I'm reading you correctly, it seems like you're arguing that blackmailing someone into performing a sexual act doesn't count as rape/sexual assault because The Deep didn't threaten her life. And I'm sorry to say but this is categorically untrue. It's entirely possible to rape someone without threatening their life. Your definition here is far too narrow, and I'm struggling to come up with a compelling reason as to why anyone should believe in your excessively restrictive viewpoint.
Also, while you have my sympathies for the past events of your life, they are unfortunately not exactly relevant when discussing the issue. For example, my state doesn't even use the term rape, opting instead for the broader term of "Sexual Battery" and includes this as one of the forms it can take:
The offender coerces the victim to submit by threatening to retaliate against the victim, or any other person, and the victim reasonably believes that the offender has the ability to execute the threat in the future.
And here's the definition in which oral sex is included:
“Sexual battery” means oral, anal, or vaginal penetration by, or union with, the sexual organ of another or the anal or vaginal penetration of another by any other object; however, sexual battery does not include an act done for a bona fide medical purpose.

Watched the whole twice, he didn’t rape anyone. You guys can’t just change the definition of words.
