On the subject of the bandits, I don't think Raven sets out to rape people. But if her crew does it I don't think she'd tell them stop, If she's all about survival of the fittest and might makes right, then the victims should just be stronger and they won't get raped. Practical or not, when people enjoy lording power over others they often go down a rape road when violence is also involved. Let's be real. They won't show it, but they're bandits. This is like when pirates are romanticized and they show them as just tougher mischievous sailor (like One Piece). But in reality, they're usually 9 times outta 10, heartless rapist and robbers and killers. But I agree somewhat about what Raven may think on the subject and how Qrow would view her decision on rape.

Grimm don't retreat, but a smart Grimm might know when it's better to hide and attack again at a later date. If Salem is a Grimm she's "retreated" from society for a LONG time. And if any Grimm show up and want to ask the alpha devil Grimm if they can join in, it'll likely let them and hide using them as a scapegoat distraction as it does.
