I agree that consent is a very serious topic and in real world stories it should always be dealt with as such. However, in a world where people go through stages where their quite literal “animal instincts” come out, I feel a bit of grace should be given to the characters. Especially if the recipient himself understands this fact and bears no ill will.
The comments from when I read it back then and now are so different but idc. I still love this story. People are not carbon copies of each other. They have complex feelings and , yes, will sometimes react in ways you don’t deem appropriate. That’s what makes them human.
