Censoring an old strip?

Jeva:
Or rather, making it more politically correct. So I was doing another archive trawl, as many of us do from time to time, and noticed that comic 10 http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=10 had been changed, replacing the word rape with hump. I can see why this might be done, rape is after all a very risky topic to make jokes about, but changing it years after it was posted? I mean, the original went up in 2003 and (from looking at the snapshots on the waybackmachine) the change only happened at the end of 2012/beginning of 2013.
Not really sure where I was going with this, just wondering why bother changing it after all this time, and whether or not anyone else had noticed?

Asterus:
I think this was discussed at some point, maybe in an unrelated topic. Can't be bothered to find it now, I have an exam in 50 mins.

Never mind, found it.

Jeva:
I did a quick search on here to see if it had been previously discussed and came up with nothing, but if this is old news then so be it. Nevermind.
EDIT: Thanks, I wouldn't have thought to check the WCDTs.

pwhodges:
Compared with some forums, this one deliberately lets its threads in some areas get quite unstructured; this way it's more like friendly conversations, but it does mean that often stuff is not where you'd expect.

Asterus:
Well, I only remember it because we went from talking about whether Steve had his junk out to whether old Faye really would have been offended at a casual rape joke.
