@Psquiddy2010. Please explain what is funny about rape.

But that would mean they can only reproduce if they get enough victims. That's not how orcs were described in all the stories. In the stories they lived for a long time in their caves and camps (be it Angband, caves in the Misty Mountains, or Mordor) and grew in number until they came out for a great attack to destroy the world of elves and men.
