Why should this article be merged with rape? It seems to be different enough to warrant its own page. KrJnX 18:13, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Fetishses?

Should "rape fetishses" be changed to "rape fetishes," or is "fetishses" a real term? --LostLeviathan 03:24, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Seems like a typo.

[edit] Spelling

As much as I am repulsed with the whole concept with tentacle rape, still...

The correct spelling is, in fact, "octopuses". The word "octopus" comes from "octo", meaning eight, and "pus", meaning leg. I don't remember the correct Latin plural for "pus" but it sure as heck isn't "pi". The form "octopuses", however, is completely acceptable in English.

I also corrected "euphism" to "euphemism" and "to chose" to "to choose". — JIP | Talk 20:16, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The plural of "octopus" can be either "octopuses" (lower register) or "octopi" (higher register) in English. In Latin I believe the plural is "octopodes" (a 3rd declension noun), but that was lost in the borrowing, and the "authentic" plural was later re-analysed as "octopi" by analogy with other Latin-derived nouns ending in "-us" (most of which are 2nd declension). So, "octopi" isn't correct in Latin, but it is correct in English (and saying "octopodes" would just make people look at you funny). — Gwalla | Talk 01:01, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Interesting, as the sources I've seen cite "octopi" as wrong. However, if "octopuses" is correct, I'm happy at that. I'd hate to get into an edit war on an article about such a repulsive subject. — JIP | Talk 06:18, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Actually, I seem to be wrong about the precise derivation of "octopi", but not in a way that matters (it wasn't Latin in the first place, it's Greek; it just looks like Latin). The octopus article has a section on pluralization. — Gwalla | Talk 08:33, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, octopus is from the greek so the correct plural is actually octopuses.

From Wikipedia's 'octopus' entry:

Fowler's Modern English Usage states that "the only acceptable plural in English is octopuses", and that octopi is misconceived and octopodes pedantic. Octopi derives from the mistaken notion that octōpūs is a second declension Latin noun, which it is not. Rather, it is (Latinized) Greek, from oktṓpous (ὀκτώπους), gender masculine, whose plural is oktṓpodes (ὀκτώποδες). If the word were native to Latin, it would be octōpēs ('eight-foot') and the plural octōpedes, analogous to centipedes and mīllipedes, as the plural form of pēs ('foot') is pedes. In modern, informal Greek, it is called chtapódi (χταπόδι), gender neuter, with plural form chtapódia (χταπόδια).

Changing it to octopuses.

[edit] Two other films on this theme

• Advancer Tina
• Alien from the Darkness

I would also like to add another film, one that represents the extreme ends of tentacle hentai-Mahou Shoujo Ai.

Also, Alien from the Darkness has three sister films involving tentacles as a major theme, made by the same company:

• Spy of Darkness
• Lesson of Darkness
• Bride of Darkness

What about Alien? The creature basically rapes the face of the astronaut to lay its eggs in his stomach. Palm_Dogg 02:02, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, but Alien isn't animated, and as far as I can tell, it doesn't involve tentacles. 128.120.186.9 06:28, 4 November 2005 (UTC) djflipstarx

[edit] Image appropriate?

As much as I dislike censorship, this image does present a semi-graphic image of a pornographic subject. Is the article enhanced by having it immediately visible on the page, or would it be best if we were to obfuscate it somehow - eg, through an outside link?

It's a well-known image, and Hokusai's work is widely regarded as fine art. I think it's fine. If it was a still from a sex scene in Urotsukidoji, that'd be a different story. — Gwalla | Talk 04:30, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] How do you say Tentacle Rape in Japanese?

What's the actual Japanese term for this phenomena? Just curious... Kitty 07:22, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

The Japanese page on tentacles in general mentions a "tentacle genre" of anime and uses "触手" for tentacle. Franzeska 21:33, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] why "rape"?

Since "rape" - forced sex - is a subset of "sex", why is this page specifically "Tentacle Rape" redirected from "Tentacle Sex" and not the other way around? Some tentacle sex is consensual, you know. Well, so I hear anyway. Ahem. wikipediatrix 19:15, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

I think it should be changed as well. Objections? Jack Leaf 14:21, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

I agree and changed the article title.--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 13:26, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] this page sucks

s'ly

That's fine, dear. --Isequals 08:48, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Weebl and Bob

I find it inappropriate to link to an episode of Weebl and Bob in an article unrelating to the actual cartoon series itself and since many people in fact do not like Weebl and Bob and would not wish to see a link to it on an article that has no affiliation with it. I don't beleive this has any place in this article. If you were to link to a cartoon that had a little tiny bit to do with any article there would be cartoon links everywhere, and we don't want to inspire that. --Isequals 08:48, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

..Bwahahaha. Okay. I'll be honest. I just hate Weebl and Bob. --Isequals 08:50, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, because your OP wasn't transparent enough. 66.229.182.113 09:20, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What happened between 1820 and 1987? nothing???

First of all, let me say that the woodcut print is an absolutely amazing historical image. But, given that this article has no substantive information on the history of tentacle rape between 1820-1987, isn't it possible that this remakable woodcut's relation to modern tentacle rape depictions is incidental at best?--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 18:07, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tentacle Rape vs Tentacle rape

I think the Tentacle Rape page should be replaced with Tentacle rape. Doesn't that better follow the naming conventions?

[edit] US influence

The 1981 Hollywood film "Galaxy of Terror" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082431/) features a tentacle rape by a giant alien worm. Not sure who influenced who here but I thought it was worth noting.

[edit] the x-files:fight the future

in this film,near the end,Fox Mulder(David Duchovny)discovers his partner Dana Scully(Gillian Anderson)imprisoned aboard an alien spacecraft along with many other humans.They are kept frozen inside cryogenic chambers with an alien tentacle forced down their throats.When Mulder awakens Scully by injecting her with a vaccine both she and the tentacle come to life.Some kind of biological fluid is seen going down the tentacle into her body.When the tentacle is pulled out of her throat she's seen coughing up some thick,semi-clear liquid much like in the tentacle-rape/oral-sex scenes.And since the purpose of this is to in essence impregnate the humans with a gestating alien organism this heightens the parallel. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cobraxus (talk • contribs) 18:06, 16 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Inappropriate links???

There are multiple links in the body of this article that go directly to outside websites, some apparently pornographic in nature.
