Nick forced a kiss on her. With Adalind, it's not so simple. They were just fighting and he overpowered her. In that moment a grimm had overpowered her and pinned her to the ground and she was fearful of what he was about to do, you see it on her face. We justify Nick because he was saving a life but he could have found another way. It's easy to say Adalind had it coming for what she had done but then again Sean put her up to it, she wasn't personally after Nick or his friends but that besides the point because it's not her story. Her part in this is inconsequential to some people but it isn't to Adalind. She was afraid of a Grimm. He did force himself on her to take away her powers. Later when she is pushed to do to him what he did to her, with as much justification that's relevant to her, she's a villain because it's Adalind.(10-11-2017, 09:34 PM)wesen Wrote: Talk of Adalind being a rapist bothered me as well, because those same posters seem to ignore Nick's own sexual assault of Adalind or JuliEve's own rape of Rachel when she pretended to be Renard. Oh wait, some made excuses for her because she had no choice but to do it, even though rape is about lack of consent and Rachel would not have consented sleeping with Eve.
I'm just asking, but Nick's assault of Adalind?
Do you mean when she did put Hank's life in danger with the cookies?
If so, he was just trying to get her to bite him to take her hex powers away. I don't know if that's what you meant but I don't know of any other bit where it could be said Nick sexually assaulted Adalind.
Sleeping is a whole lot different than having sex. Their conversation clearly indicated he couldn't 'get it up' in a manner of speaking. I have no idea how anybody could construe that as them having sex. It was play-acting to ferret out important information.
Not everything that happened with these characters was in a vacuum. They are all equally villains and victims by their own actions. We as fans are the ones that choose to box them into one thing and disregard everything else because of preference.
