This is because the entire point of wartime propagnada is to bypass our critical faculties, our rational brains and go straight for the heart and our vulnerable emotions, which are super sensitive in times of violence and war.
For thousands of years 'Rape' has been the ultimat hot button in warfare, because it symbolizes a special type of violation, an attack on the very bloodline of the group, tribe, nation; making it a kind of violence and story that's particularly potent and powerful.
Of course, and this is normal too, if one questions the narrative or asks for independent evidence, one is calling into question the veracity of the story itself, meaning one suspects they might be guilty of exploiting rape for base propaganda objectives, and of course, we would never do such a thing. It would mean our moral superiority and the righteousness of our cause would collapse like a house of cards.
