Not neccessarily. It's not directly attacking the crotch region. I've noticed that when you use a steel chair for example, you can get away with not being DQ'd if you send your opponent into the chair, and not vice versa. It's sort of inversed with the ropes. If you deliberately launch your opponent's crotch into them repeatedly then it's a DQ -- but if they are crotched and then you move the ropes -- you're not actually touching them, so it's their business to deal with.

The ropes aren't foreign objects. They're part of the ring, and although they aren't "legal," they aren't "foreign." You can use the ropes within reason to punish your opponent if you are smart about it.
