On the subject of rape on a show. A comment was made that GOT ignored the subject. Consider Sansa. Talking to Bran the character acknowledged what happened on her wedding night. Even Danny talking to John acknowledged that she was sold and defiled.
People try and rationalize their argument based on the characters personality, or an over sight on the characters part. That would be valid if they where real. The writes do not address something because of a character. They address it to make a point. If not addressed then they did not mean it to be seen that way.
As for Adalind using deception making it rape would make most people after a nigh out be rapist. There are thousands of pick up at bars, and I bet most involve some form of deception. From the guys pretending to be rich and important. To the women using makeup and other enhancements to look better then what they are. Is it rape if you wake up to find the hot blond lawyer you took home last night. Is actually a balding, middle aged, over weight, hooker.
When the subject first came up. I commented there is no way Nick would not have known that was not Juliette. Even if it did look like Juliette. Are you saying if blindfolded you could not tell if someone kissing you was not you significant other. I can tell even if one of my girlfriends friends is sending a tweet pretending to be her. As a couple there are little clues that only you two know. The writers even added dialog of Nick acknowledging something was different.
If using deception to have sex is a crime. Then what about the guys that rent fancy cars, buy knock off designer cloths, and have fake business cards printed. They borrow or house site some exclusive address, when they take someone home are they then considered a rapist. Their entire acts was one hundred percent deception. What about women who have themselves modified using surgery to look like someone famous, then go around acting like the famous person they look like. Are they rapist. Then why is Adalind a rapist , she did with magic what others do with surgery.
We can take it even further. Based on your argument that deception constitutes rape. Do you consider post op transgenders criminals, if they don't say they are transgender.
As in the other post there are no laws concerning deception. That is why what Adalind did does not violate any laws. That is why the writers made sure there was no coercion, intimidation or force. And yes they writers do consult experts on controversial topics to insure they do not cross any lines.
Here is another point. Grimm is a show on network TV. Not cable or a streaming service. The show is governed by the FCC. If What Adalind did was in anyway considered rape they would not have been able to air it.
