While yes these are rather Risqué they aren't Rape jokes they are Inuendos and considering that Banner and Nat were flirting heavily and most of the team knew and she did want to join him in the Shower there is no real Rape joke.

As for the Romanoffs, blind anger and thoughts of revenge can cloud anyone's mind. Even to the point that logic is no longer a factor. I find it entirely believable that Piotr and Wanda wanted to get revenge on Tony and the Avengers so badly, they didn't care what they had to go through or who they had to work with to accomplish that goal. They also probably didn't care about anyone else by that point (civilians, Hydra personnel, etc).

The "rape joke" is in the party scene when they're all trying to lift Thor's hammer. Tony something like "if I lift it, i get to rule asgard, right?" thor says "yes" then tony says "well I'm reinstating Prima Nocta"... Prima Nocta was something old kings supposedly enacted that let them have sex with every bride on their wedding night before the husband did. That's the rape joke.

I'm not saying pro/con or whatever, just explaining the joke so you guys know what it is.
