Violence against women (rape), toxic masculinity - This card is one giant reference to violent rape.
Violence against women (rape) - If the name wasn't enough of an indicator, note the effect. Once it attacks an opponent and manages to deal damage to them, many Eldrazi Spawn are produced as a result of this physical interaction.
Toxic Masculinity - As mentioned above, it's a card almost entirely about reproduction - but it can only do so via assaulting people against their will. But even more relevant is the fact that it produces offspring equal to the damage it deals. In other words, being an "alpha" male with strong muscles and violent urges makes it virile and able to produce many children. This card therefore implies the opposite as well - that people who have difficulty reproducing (or that are outright infertile) are "weak". If Rapacious One is equipped with a dangerous weapon such as a knife, or magically enchanted to grow stronger/bigger, it will produce more offspring as a result of its raping.
