Reminds me a bit of this:

An…interesting experiment. Poor lonely dolphins just need some relief.

There was a whole King of the Hill episode about that kind of behavior.

(There are more graphic pictures/gifs out there but you get the idea. I was kinda amazed that they went ahead and green-lit that plot.)

It’s difficult when the safe word hits frequencies beyond a human’s capability

The surprising part was how the writers used that plot point as part of a reasonably respectful discussion about overcoming stigma to come forward with stories of sexual assault and harassment instead of keeping quiet and internalizing trauma.

If (say) The Family Guy had a dolphin rape episode it would have been played for nothing but laughs.

Agreed! Most of the message of that episode was respecful to victims and positive. But then they kind of ruined that at the end of the episode when Hank threw a sexual harrasser into the pool with the dolphin, then stroked the dolphin’s tummy to get it aroused, knowing that it would then hump the guy. As much as many of us might fantasize about enacting revenge or poetic justice against sexual predators, actually raping one (or arranging for one to be raped) is never the right way to go.
