Bro. You can say you think someone deserves to be raped, that's a you thing, on your morals, and you can say the rapist wasn't guilty of the rape, but you cannot say it wasn't rape. That's literally what the word means - forceful or coercive sexual contact (in some countries it only counts intercourse, in some countries any contact or even extreme exposition — like jerking off in front of someone with the intent of showing this unwilling person the sexual act —, can be accounted as rape).
You do know that by law, you cannot be exempted of rape charges with "I was under the influence of drugs", right?
"Oh, he raped because he was high on drugs she gave him" the victim gets charged on aggravated assault, for poisoning, but he will still be tried for rape. Whether the court rules him as guilty or not doesn't change the fact that the rape took place and he is a rapist.
Considering that aphrodisiacs are a legal narcotic, youd have to get the same principles of any other legal narcotic under the premise that its intake was involuntary and unknown by the accused.
So, yes, you can make a case of "my client did not know he was being fed that drug", attenuating the sentence, but he is still responsible for the actions his drugged-self committed. It's not like someone drugged him and inserted his unconscious dick on someone else (which has happened irl and if the Mc managed to make his servant sit on him, then it would be considered rape, on both the seme and the servant, by the MC, but no parts were willing), nor was his drugged-self coerced into it. His drugged-self was in an altered state of mind, but his actions were still his.
Same principle of killing — you can still be considered guilty of manslaughter, which means you had no intention of committing nor any ill-meaning, it happened because of you, but not through your will nor through your neglect. You are still responsible.

If you were awake, making decisions, even if in an altered state of consciousness, with an unwilling person, yes, whether you are guilty or not is another matter, but you are still considered a rapist, what happened is still rape, that's how the case is tried. The same way being blacked out drunk, even if you were forced to drink or drunk without knowing, still won't erase that fact. If you were awake and initiated the act, you are the perpetrator.

If the rapist had taken the bottom role he'd still be the rapist, as the one in the top role had not consented.
If the person did not consent doesn't matter the roles. Awake and initiating a non consensual or coercive sexual act = rapist. It is REALLY that simple.
That's what the word rapist stands for, like I said, whether he'd be legally ruled as guilty or not guilty wouldn't change the fact that rape took place and he was the perpetrator. He was the victim of aggravated assault (the drugging), but he committed rape while under the influence.
Well, we can’t really call that rape—he walked straight into his own mess lol. I just hope this manga keeps up the same pace, unlike others that always kick off with some forced plot.
bitch alert eyes off the men, please. The way she dropped her engagement with the first prince and then ran to the one with more power
