It's a collection of syllables, like any other. Language isn't set in stone; each word is defined only by what people use it for. What matters is always the meaning: words can obviously have different meanings and in this case "raped" has been adopted as a synonym for "lost in a embarrassing way". People who use the word aren't implying that rape isn't a serious issue. I fail to see the problem.
