another thing that is the whole emma really wanted hook thing.well MOST rapist claim that the rape victim really wanted sex. they use things like clothing, conversations, or the claim the victim flirted. but the victim said no, we all do agree( i hope) that that's still rape.

i honestly think some of you just REALLY like the couple and are trying to make excuses for why the whole rape culture thing doesn't make since. it's kinda funny to me. like when chocolatEyes tried to use regina raping the huntsman as ( I THOUGHT) to get the spot light off of hook. so funny. but serously i do believe some of you are blinded by love at the whole argument. and you support that theory when you say things like" emma had not right to resist" and "emma really wanted hook even though she said no" in a debate about rape. then saying neal never loved emma, really. to me at least it makes since

The things that you're comparing to rape here is absolutely nothing like rape. Hook was interested in Emma, so he pursued her. THAT IS NOTHING LIKE RAPE. The comparison is, at least in my opinion, horrifically offensive. Rape is a violent physical act. Again, rape is a VIOLENT PHYSICAL act. (Excuse the caps, this is making my eye twitch pretty hard) Factually speaking, Hook has done nothing rape-like. You can make the argument that he was forceful with Emma, but that is not at all like the violent crime that is rape.

I might have to unfollow this thread, the premise of the argument of the original post truly offends me XD
