If Hook did not use protection and Rapunzel had the Instant baby, then it's just a weird moment for both and that's that. Unless Hook really doesn't know how babies are made... XD

It's a tad disingenious to say that we (in this thread, not in society and random tumblr posts) are in anyway declaring every sexual encounter and act as a form of sexual assault.

Plus, no one is defending Hook's poor decision-making. I wouldn't have randomly decided to sleep with a person I knew little about. Hook made a poor decision. Gothel committed deceptive sexual assault. So the problem lies soley with the glamour spell? If Rapunzel (and not Gothel) had simply had sex with WHook so she could have a magic escape baby, no one would have a problem with this plot? What if Gothel didn't glamour herself, but said she was Rapunzel? Why entertain hypothetical scenarios? It’s like stretching to prove a point. I mean the whole thing is hypothetical anyway. Unless you know a person in the real world who transformed themselves with magic and had a full term baby 12 hours after concieving. The whole situation is very much a fictional fantasy scenario. Fictional, but not hypothetical. Key part there. But people are applying real world logic to it, which is why I'm posing these questions. It's not as simple as people are making it out to be, because in our world, we don't have "rape by magical deception via glamour spell".
