Ah, I hadn't realized the only way to interpret fiction was through the lens of trendy 2014 culture blogging jargon. I now realize and am duly ashamed of my mistake.

No, "there can be no ambiguity about rape in a work of fiction without everyone feeling the need to roundly condemn both the work and the authors at every opportunity" is a symptom of cause-of-the-moment nonsense.

Give it a rest with the sept scene bullshit for once. I get that it doesn't totally align with the manufactured media cause of the moment but in the context of the story it works fine.
