"manipulating someone into having sex with you is still RAPE!" NO, it is NOT rape if it is just "manipulation." Rape is FORCED sex. Manipulation is not force. It is persuasion, it is trickery, perhaps, but ultimately, Hook went for it. No-one forced him to do it.

Hook CHOSE to have sex with a stranger in a land full of magic...and he knew darn well she could have been enchanted. You are basically all saying he's just some stupid naive person who wouldn't have thought about the dangers in what he was doing.

He JUST met Rapunzel. She's got a ridiculously long braid and she's locked up in a magical tower. This is a man who had used magic to turn himself from a fat, decrepit old man into a handsome young man again. Wish Hook's real self is actually old and fat. So was he raping her by deception as well? Because according to the logic here, he was.

Hook wasn't a victim because he CHOSE to take a risk and have sex with a complete and total stranger.

Please do NOT equate someone choosing to have a one-night stand with an unknown person in an enchanted tower and conflate that with someone who was FORCED to have sex. It is not even by a longshot the same thing.

Never mind the fact that while he was having sex with "Gothel" she was effectively Rapunzel at the time physically and personality-wise. So you are saying Gothel's soul raped him. Ridiculous.
