Rape is completely natural in orangutans. Does this mean that it should be legalized and incels should go rape women? Probably not, especially since laws against rape are so harsh, but I'll leave that up to you.
Here is the excerpt proving it to be true from the book Demonic Males: Apes and the Origins of Human Violence (notice how the Orangutans who rape are described as unattractive to females but still valuable AKA they're incels):

That male orangutans regularly rape must be one of the best-kept secrets in the literature of popular zoology, and, like much about orangutans themselves, it is still poorly understood. But it holds enormous interest, and for good reason. The occurrence of rape as an ordinary part of a species' behavior implies that it is an evolved adaptation to something in their biology, and this raises the frightening question of whether human rape may also be adaptive - a fearful idea because, some people worry, it whispers an excuse for evil.
Mostly it seems that small males are the rapists, and most copulations by small males are rapes. Why? Well, small males don't give long calls, so they can't attract females from a long distance. They don't fight big males, so they can't protect females from potential aggressors. And there's little evidence that females follow small males or are otherwise attracted to them. So the small males are at a big disadvantage, it would seem, in the competition to mate. However, they can do one thing better than the big males. In the rainforest canopy world of wild orangutans, the big males are seriously inhibited by gravity. They can't keep up with the females. Simply because they are so heavy, these males appear compelled to climb slowly to avoid risking a fall. In other words, females can easily escape from a big male if they choose to. But small males, who are the same size as adult females, travel as fast as the females. Thus, it is reasonable to theorize that small males are unattractive to females, but that their smallness allows them to avoid the big males and keep up with the females; and that natural selection has favored rape as a way for those small males to impregnate females. But that idea is still only a Just So Story - it fits, but hasn't been tested.
Among orangutans, rape accounts for one-third to one-half or more of all copulations. Even among chimpanzees, where rape is a good deal rarer, it probably still happens as often as among many human populations.
