Quote:Nick thought that it was Juliette he was sleeping with. Once sex started, he'd have known it wasn't her, yet kept on going. That's consent.
That sums it up. Especially since the writers left no doubt that Nick knew there was a difference. You add he is a detective, noticing what is out of place is his job. He is aware that Wesen, and Magic can account for the unexplained. So either her was in denial, did not care, or was suffering from wishful thinking. Nick's only hurt other them losing his powers. Is how it made Juliette feel. Even now he has never regretted sleeping with Adalind.
The show is written with a lot of ambiguity so the viewers can adjust it to fit their taste.
To distort the story to paint a narrative not even close to what the writers intended, provides a false impression of the show to readers that come to this forums to help understand things they missed or to get an understand of what the show is about. The same goes for bashing a actor for the actions of the character. or bashing the actors presentation because the character doesn't react the way you think they should. Anyone that knows anything about the craft. Knows that hardest part to play is that of someone that is being portrayed as not normal. Especially when it is totally contrary to the actors personality. We have seen these people out of character enough, that we can appreciate the parts they play. Silas is nothing like monroe. Bitsie is nothing like Juliette, Hexenette, or Eve. Yet she makes each one convincing. People act like she is evolving into these personas. There have even been questions about is Bitsie Jealous of Adalind and Nick. Really. Anyone that follows them know this is one tight group that are the best of friends.
The show brings up ethical questions and situations. But it never takes a position. Such as the Stacy question, they addressed the question. But never gave an answer as to it being right or wrong. The Nick and Adalind, situations. They give a reason for the actions but never address the morality of it. The fact we are discussing the ramifications and definitions of rape is what was wanted. To accuse the show of being morally incentive is not what the show is doing. This is one of the things the show left no ambiguity for. They have made it more then clear. It was sex through deception no more no less. By definition is that rape yes, but that is not the intent. The show uses bombastic situations, to off set the questionable out comes. Adalind and Hank off sets the way Nick took Adalind's powers. Nick and Adalind off set the Juliette and Nick breakup. Nick mothers death off set the assassination of Kenneth. With out the off set Nick would be perceived the villain in each of these cases.
