Of Swords and Parasols

Re: the mild tangent. I think the mindset you're talking about comes from fans finding the guy who's doing the forcing attractive (either the character or the actor or both) and they can't "get" how any female would reject him. They (the fans) want him, so therefore any woman who doesn't is clearly crazy and deserves to be belittled. It's weird. There's an even worse version, where on ohnotheydidnt whenever a male celeb gets accused (or is rumored to be accused) of rape or sexual assault, there are inevitably a few comments of "I'd let him rape me!" Aargh, people, stop trying to turn genuinely horrible situations into your weird rape fantasy.
