    Not enough info to meaningfully talk about rape imho, and the ‘son’ thing is a bit complicated. Probably more correctly described as a kind of aspect?

      So like conservatives in ‘Merica he just makes a woman have a child by sheer force of will. No rape involved!

        Rape means no consent, has nothing to do with the unconventional way of conception. The entire passage is so imprecisely written, that I don’t think you can for sure say it would have been rape.

          Well power impacts consent… can you really fully consent to an all powerful being when there’s a chance they might destroy your life for refusing?

            First of all, not all powerful. That is what my first comment was all about. Second, I wouldn’t categorically say no, unlikely, but not impossible. Thirdly, why do so many people feel like debating the finer points of a fictional event with me? You guys are almost as bad as harry potter nerds, except you hate the book you are talking about.

              uh wow, I thought we were just chatting, not debating. Why are you acting like this? I also never specified my beliefs so it’s weird to jump to all these conclusions.
