I actually have to agree that I really don't a very strong connection between vomiting and rape...as someone who's suffered from negative sexual experiences in the past, I understand the feelings of shame and worthlessness that can come after being raped, but I don't really see what vomiting has to do with it. Like Roger said, there are other ways to deal with the issue and express your feelings on it other than vomiting. However that said, I actually liked the performance! It was super raw and the energy was totally there. Even though I thought it was a little distasteful and tacky when I first saw it, once I started looking up the girl who was doing it and realised that was part of a performance art series she's been making for a long time I had more of an understanding of what Gaga was aiming for with it. It's obviously unsettling to watch but that's clearly the point. And it's an interesting concept. I agree with you! I feel like Demi's deliberately misinterpreting the whole performance. She obviously has a right to be upset about it given her past, and she expressed her opinions respectfully and said she's still a fan. But I think she doesn't really understand that the performance had nothing to do with bulimia.
