To be fair even KC has said the word "rape" isn't completely correct as none of the monster human interactions as recorded by the wandering monster scholar is the same as real rape in the context he uses it.

"I think the translation of the word "犯す(okasu)"to"rape" caused confusion. Actually, it is not used in serious nuance. For me and Japanese fans, this part is interpreted like "Such attractive girl nestles and pushes me down! Yes!" At least, we don`t consider it creepy or with denial of the dignity of man as you may feel from that word."

Not to mention the encyclopedia entries themselves are written by an in world author that is prone to exaggeration and hyperbole.

" Additionally, the settings of the"author of MGE" may cause some misunderstandings. He is a man who lives in the world of MGE, and separate from myself, His descriptions are basicaly generalization, and it is not always true because he has not the viewpoint of the creater. Also, he is sympathetic to MGs but maintain an attitude of neutrality, and sometimes is even critical. And MGE is the book which is written in a "warn people of the menace of MGs" tone, so it`s descriptions are often more threatening than the monsters actually are."
