I doubt that Grendal is the only person who has strong feelings about the issue. If something like a rape is going to be done, I think all of the players need to give consent (not all characters). There are people who have lived through the real thing who could be traumatized by participating in, or even witnessing, a reenactment. Because I believe they have as much right as anyone to enjoy playing a RP game, I think that any rape scene done should be in a fairly private place with the consent of all players.
I don't believe that every person who enjoys playing a rapist is likely to do the same thing in the real world, I'd have a hard time trusting someone who did.
