*PEDANTIC ENGLISH MAJOR FUN-KILLING POST ALERT*

"Rape", as a word, originally meant "to take by force." (E.G. "The Rape of the Sabine Women" is about the abduction of the women from Sabine, not the sex with them.) The current meaning of unwanted sexual contact comes from a long history of the English language attaching euphemisms to unsavory concepts, then deciding that the euphemisms are just as unsavory. So "The War of Rapes" may refer to a war where large amounts of plunder were taken, many cities were sacked, and many prisoners were seized.

If it makes you feel any better, goblins definitely seem to be the raping type.

There's a snakemen civ called "The Larval Seducer". ???

Sir, you have the creepiest worldgen ever.

Reminds me of the time I had a goblin civ called The Gates of Incest, headquartered at the dark fortress of Incestscale, and led by the evil Stozu Doomincests.

I'm going to assume that they are as fond of incest as they are of rape.
