Tautologically, it's a nonsensical question, as "rape" already carries negative baggage..it"s just another way of saying "a -bad- sort of sexual behavior", otherwise you'd just say "sex". However, suppose we found ourselves with a situation where a culture did not develop the concept of consent? They would have no equivalence (/w our concepts) from which to even understand what we were talking about. Stranger cultural disconnects abound - though this one seems rooted in most of us. Nevertheless, in your hypothetical scenario there's one easy hypothetical example. He would still think it to be "univerally wrong", I would, perhaps you would (though I guess I shouldn't presume - care to make the case for rape friend, oh...no? ofc you don't, lol.....) but they (the ubiquitous they)...would not.
This isn't even remotely close to a deep philosophical quandry - there is no leverage. It's ridiculous bullshit we've seen on these boards a hundred times over. It's boring.
