I'm thinking his not fighting back or shouting for his guards = consent.
he didn’t say yes
He still did not approve of it so it is classified with no consent. Even if they don't fight back, or anything, he did not approve of it. Or did not like it.
what? he did try calling for guards but she covered his mouth. also i’m pretty sure his wine got spiked so he was too weak to fight back. definitely not consent
This is not modern progressive world. This man is very strong and he made NO efforot to fight back at all. Ifyou could beat up your rapist, you just lie there and enjoy it? I doubt it.
Actually he did make effort to fight back lmao. The comment by aesthxdit also confirmed it. He was too weak to fight back at that time. Also he did NOT enjoy it and it clearly showed it. He didnt enjoy it to the point he sent guards to capture her
Not that I’m saying it’s right in any way or form but she is the ‘empress of hell’ and I think the author wanted to portray her in such way that she doesn’t care for anyone or anything and is just ‘evil’.
just say you’re a rapist and go,,, the only person who would say “oh they didn’t fight back so the wanted it” is someone who clearly doesn’t know what the word consent means
okay ig she is an anti-hero so what you're saying does make sense but the thing is I feel like the author intended us to like her anyways and see her as a badass, hmm
she comes from hell. i doubt she knows much about human morals. context is very important. also im surprised rape is being so talked about here but in stuff like Light and Shadow, people ignore it despite the fact that the perpetrator is a human male.
EXACTLY. THANK YOU
Idk I feel like the author leaves it to us as to how we see her because right now for me she seems like she is selfish and only cares about her ‘fun’, that’s why some people may see her as strong because she doesn’t take shit from anyone and doesn’t give a shit about anyone or anything lol but we’ll see how her character develops further.
I must have missed the "he was too weak..." Possible.
And of course there's the comment and block idiocy. So, my reply to them:
No, in the modern world I'd say she' sa sexual harasser/rapist if he was drugged beyond any ability to fight back (by magic or by drugs).
In this world, where she's like a demon or something and he's powerful, I just can't feel the same outrage. I do get pissed at some of the stories here where it's NOT debatable--the guy rapes the woman or the woman takes advantage of a wounded guy. There are too many actual rapes.
This one just is set up with more grey in it.
If I missed the she drugged or weakened him, then okay, she's a rapey demon.
Strong fl? Check. Beautiful? Check. Knows how to put people in their place? Check. But the fact that she didn't give a damn about consent doesn't sit right with me even if she was a tyrant.
