Considering how popular this property is, it's only a question of when it will receive an anime adaptation...

Yeah, the whole rape thing will probably keep this from getting an anime.

But...stranger things have happened...

Yes, like all the rapes and orgies in Berserk.

But in the case of Goblin Slayer, I wouldn"t be against some changes in an anime adaptation.
Some scenes were unbearable in the manga.

They could adapt and "soften" the more sexually graphic content without really sacrificing the overall quality of the series.

All they would have to do is have it occur but only visible in the background with shadows on the wall and use other ways to let the viewer know it occurs without showing it explicitly on screen.

Just add the fog or shreds of clothes to cover the naked girls and you can adapt it without much issue.

I mean, as long as the adaptation handles it like in the LN rather than the manga, then it should be perfectly fine. In the LN any scenes like that are not lingered on or gratuitous. They help convey the cruelty of the little bastards and move on. And from what I understand, there are only really 2 such scenes given any kind of detail rather than being passing mentions.

Somewhat late on the response here. Personally if there's an anime adaptation, they don't soften horror and cruelty of the goblins does to it's victims. I prefer the manga take on it, it shows why the Goblin Slayer goes to full lengths to take them out, not showings the scenes softens it and puts GS in a lesser light (just crazy). Anyways, if they pull a Berserk anime modern take, I rather that they'll be no adaptation. Maybe go the OVA route.
