The problem lies with you. You have unreal expectations, yet you expect everyone to meet them.
Yes, people don't have control over what they type. They can't help it.
There is a certain level of language that is accepted in normal internet INTERCOURSE, and while you may find some of them personally offensive, that is your problem, not the problem of those indulging in the use of those words you find objectionable.
Do I wish that the level of discourse on the internet was higher, but however much I may wish it, I don't expect others to conform to my wishes. If it offends you and you are unable to ignore it, as most people do when something offends their sensibilities, then don't read the thread, or go elsewhere.

Your whole argument rests on the fact that other people lack self control of some kind. If making personal attacks aren't acceptable, for example, then people made a decision to not accept that behavior. Why can't references to "gang-bang" also be deemed unacceptable?
The most certain means of attracting foul and/or objectionable language or behavior in a universe as filled with socially inept, immature, isolated, nerds, like most of us (I include myself in that crowd), is to voice your objections to it.
Most people understand this fact and thus ignore whatever offends them rather than express their objections.

The people lack self-control argument so never say anything. I hope you read what you type.
Oh yeah, BTW the word originally used, "banged," has far more common associations that have nothing to do with sex. I suggest that your reaction implies the presence of your own personal demons and perversions.
The first thing I think of when I read of people being "banged," is that they are being hammered, pounded, physically struck, not that they are being "raped."

The word wasn't "banged". It was "gang-banged".
I am sure when people read "gang-bang" they think of a car being banged in the parking lot.
