@Hakaishin Aro:  You bring up an important point that I believe is a central theme, in that even in the MGE world, the vast majority of "ordinary" folks and monsters really just want a place where they can make a living and find a loving mate (don't we all!)  Since it is implied that there is a great deal of interpretation of how exactly "rape happy" Mamono are, I simply take it as monsters can be thought of as different tribes of peoples where their acceptance into human society is a matter of geographical location. Zipangu is the perfect example (although one should still watch one's back during mating season!)

That is why I love Zipangu and the Continent so much. Their peaceable coexistence with monsters doesn't regularly depend on monsterization, throwing a great deal of the Order's philosophy into a tailspin. Then again, since there is so much open to interpretation in the MGE world anyway, one can make generalizations about Mamono behavior and still tailor a story to suit one's tastes.
