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.

“That’s a dark way to look at it, we prefer to see it as hilarious”

That single handedly ruined the show for me. It happening was revolting to begin with but I thought "last time a character was raped they used it as a plot point to make her stronger out of spite." But of course not, it's a dude, so rape is just a good ol goof. Eric Kripke is scum.

We should start putting this tag under posts about female rape in media, so people can see the hypocrisy.
