My friend, you're the one who asserted "it means rape", and all I'm saying that it's more complicated than that. For example, 姦通 may be morally "bad sex", but it's consensual.

But I will readily grant that none of these meanings will be obvious from just seeing a character composed of three women.

No, I’m asserting that the first meaning people will associate with that kanji is far away from the "cute" example the internet loves to speak about since it have mainly very negative connotations (adultery is a crime in Japan). Dick also has a lot of meanings, yet the science fiction author will likely rank quite low if people were asked what they think about when reading this word.

For sure you're rude, arrogant and you don't have good manners.
