This is none too lovely, I agree, but... aren't people overreacting just a tad? A small tad. I mean, I don't honestly think that the writer is making a 'rape joke' here. It's an unsavory moment, to be sure, and I'm kinda going 'iggh' myself as I read it, but it's not quite THAT unsavory. And I know someone is going to scream at me for asking this, but - IS what the Chameleon did technically rape? I mean, as I recall, the definition of rape is 'forced or nonconsentual sex', and/or sex with a minor, which legally translates to the same thing. Now, if the Chameleon had started making advances and Michelle had slapped him down and he had pinned her to the floor and had his way with her - THAT would be rape all right. The way I'm reading this, though, that quite evidently did NOT happen - Michelle obviously responded to his advances with advances of her own, and they had sex. She is therefore under the impression that what happened was something relatively normal, and that Peter and her are now an item - she doesn't seem at all traumatized or freaked out. To my mind, that means consentual sex, which is not rape. What the Chameleon did, therefore, was illicit sex under false pretences - which is a creepy, squick-inducing, most likely illegal thing to do, and there's every reason to be mad at the people who set up the situation in the first place and then dealt with it in such a casual manner, but credit where credit is due - last time I checked, sex under false pretences did not translate to actual rape. I'm sure it's a crime, but it's a different crime than rape. Also, what the hell happened to her hair? How long has it been straight?
