ysobel: A man wielding a kitchen knife and making an adorable yelling face (rage)
The more informed I get about rape culture and the concept of enthusiastic consent, the more squicked out I get by incidents, RL or fictional, involving aggressive romantic/sexual pursuit of an uninterested party.

I finished my rewatch of Star Trek TNG and have moved on to DS9, and there's an episode where basically Lwaxana Troi gets attracted to Odo, who is eminently uninterested and pretty much asexual+aromantic in general (I can't remember if this changes later in the series but at the moment that is his explicit canonical stance), and just. Eurgh. And he goes to Sisko for help, who is amused and suggests mainly that he let himself get caught (because, idek, it would be good for him or something.)

Why why why augh.
