Well, in response to that, I'd like to say, it's basically just lingo, I can see how this can stipulate a rather unfit atmosphere that can offend female players and/or viewers. But it's Quake lingo, usually it's out of force of habit.
I'm not sure but it's the common acceptance among most (male) gamers out there. Whenever they seem to die, you'll hear a "Damnit I got raped." or something a bit more lewd. The riding rockets comment is a bit crude, but I can express that I've never heard that term before I read your post, usually it's referred to as "you got owned" if you take a rocket hit, but hey what do I know. I'm just a Quake player.
