According to Dwight Schrute in his blog, manga featuring shokushu goukan (tentacle rape) is not only repulsive but actually pointless.

| These comics feature Japanese women getting taken advantage of by octopi. I truly do not understand their appeal. Octopi are, by their very nature, non-sexual creatures. After they reproduce, both the mother and father octopus die within a matter of months. What’s sexy about that? To chronicle the sexual nature of an octopus is as pointless as trying to find a beet weevil in December – it’s just a waste of time. |
He goes on to defend the poor octopus.

| What do the Japanese have against octopi? What did octopi ever do to the Japanese besides providing a tremendous amount of nourishment in the form of tako sushi? It baffles me. It angers me. It saddens me.
The mighty octopus should be respected, not depicted as some horrible marine rapist. |
Turns out Dwight is a big fan of Ranma 1/2, because "there are no horny vindictive creatures with tentacles."
Observations such as this are why The Office is one of the funniest shows on TV.
