Comment by AshiuRey on The Snake that Swallowed the Pomegranate - Chapter 50

@AshiuRey Not even borderline, it just is.🥲

@AnUnknownPerson Well, Nain did consent to it (sort of), actually suggested it in the first place, so it's really not, but the sense of discomfort, fear, and pain he's feeling and all this right after what he's been through, just feels wrong on far too many levels.

@AshiuRey Na-in said it out of fear, he didn't ACTUALLY want to do it. Just saying yes isn't enough to be considered consent. Even if he did consent at first, Amon kept ignoring Na-in's pleads to stop.

@AnUnknownPerson Uuhh yes, it is. Sure he said it out of fear for the lives of others and wasn't all that into it, but he still suggested and went with it. He's regretting it now because Amon is being weirdly possessive. That's because in his mind, this is a punishment that Nain agreed to, even suggested it. So no matter how much he would plea to stop, he won't. Because Nain is being punished in Amon's world view. So, no, it's not rape, not really. It's just a very unpleasant moment for us to witness.
