Rape is constantly mentioned to be a normal and fun part of Viking pillaging. Sexual assault is used as a punchline multiple times throughout the show, including onscreen. One man recreates a pillage like rape scene with his new wife because he cannot get in the mood without it. The same wife is later to be raped by a leader of the neighbouring committee, she clearly desires the intercourse but it is used as a way to taunt her husband. It does not occur because of performance issues of the male. The main female lead constantly talks about how raping is her favourite part of pillaging. She rapes via jumping the face of another Viking in order to prove her worth for pillaging. She also cuts of men’s genitals and wears them as a necklace, both dead men and men she has raped. S1E5: the main village is attacked. The women are all rounded up and separated from the men, save for three men who were dressed as women at the time of the attack. A man from the attacking tribe makes his way around the women, saying he will "defile" them one by one. He picks one of the men dressed as a woman and brings him to a back room. He can then be heard raping the man, although the man is shown to be enjoying it (he goes on to state and defend his enjoyment in the next episode). He is then outed as gay when the other two men save him and uncover gay pornography and sex toys amongst his things. S1E6: an enemy man tries to uncover one of the men from the previous episode. He wrongfully assumes that a woman is him, and to prove it he grabs her by the genitals. A woman is told she will be raped in public to taunt her husband. She is happy with this course of action, however, and demands that her husband not prevent it from happening. The men then debate who should rape her, but they each decline for various reasons. The leader then agrees to do it but is unable to. A man becomes angry at his sister in law and yells that he should have had her raped when he had the chance. However, he is currently buried up to his neck, so she responds in kind by peeing on him. S2E1: a group of Vikings, after having attacked a settlement, debate on whether to commit rape or eat first. A woman makes a joke, "who likes to rape on a full stomach?"
