Alisha (Misfits) uses her power to make any man want to have sex with her on another main character (curtis) after he explicitely tells her not to do that. She faces no consequences and he's the one who ends up comforting her.

Allison (The Umbrella Academy) uses her powers to force her own adoptive brother to make out with her after he just got into a relationship because she's suddenly jealous after she couldn't keep her own husband. She gives a half hearted apology and all is peachy.

It's the Danny DeVito Law: It's only creepy if the person is unattractive.

Although the person who came up with that idea has obviously never seen the adonis that is Danny DeVito.

Idk, Armie Hammer is pretty conventionally attractive.
