Description

Characters frequently coerce others into having sex with them by magic or simple deception throughout the series. Throughout much of season 1, there is an ongoing sexual and romantic relationship which is a result of mind control. S1E7: rape off-screen of a character being controlled by another. One character forcefully kisses a female character: she pushes him away. He does not apologize for his actions. Later in the episode, everyone tells the victim that she is pushing him away because she is allergic to intimacy, and that he is a good man. She caves to the pressure from her peers and they kiss again. In season 2, there is a rumored sexual relationship between an adult and teenager: the age of the character said to be an adult is never revealed. This plot appears in S2E6. S4E7: a man makes unwanted advances on a woman (31:10-31:35). He tries kissing her, which ends with her pushing him away. He then tries again by embracing her, leading to her pushing him away with her magic. In season 4, there is a side plot where, through magic means, a female character assumes the form of another character's wife in order to coerce him into having sex with her (off-screen) and impregnating her. This plot appears in S4E18. S5E4: a man uses magic to make sure his wife stays loving him even though she was thinking of leaving him (29:45). S5E12: a woman is kissed by her husband’s twin brother (8:46-8:52). During the kiss, she thinks that it is her husband, but she quickly finds out it is not him. S5E14: a drunk bumps into a woman and spills her drink. He then begins wiping her chest against her wishes. Another man intervenes, punching the drunk in the face (18:00-18:10). In season 7, there is a variation of the above. In this case, the male character did not know the female character, nor the form of the character she assumed. The intercourse happends off-screen but the scene afterwards includes many unwanted touches. This plot appears in S7E7.
