Willow wiped Tara's memory in All the Way after a row about Willow using magic, so the love song Tara sings in Once More with Feeling and the sex scene are all after she's been enchanted. Then Willow tries to erase the entire row in the next episode and accidentally wipes everyone's memories temporarily. This is after Tara has specifically said that she feels violated and there will be 'nothing left of her'.

I don't know whether any of these entirely impossible things qualify as rape, but it's hardly delusional to argue they do.

Don't forget the fact the previous season Tara had her brain turned to mush after Glory probed it to get information on the scoobies. So she has plenty of personal reason to not want her own girlfriend casting spells on her that affect her mind and her memory, beyond the normal moral, ethical, violation of person stuff, and be worried that there'd be 'nothing left of her'.

I was actually going to say that at the end of my comment but I thought I was starting to sound a bit like the one woman Tara appreciation society in this thread so I deleted it. :-P But yeah, she got a very rough deal.

I think it adds much needed context to the situation though. If it had been Xander Willow did this to, it would definitely be bad, creepy etc, but it has a whole nother layer to it with Tara due to season 5, how Tara was pretty much a non-person due to her mind being pretty much wiped and made mush, then Willow having to basically look after her as one would a young child or elderly person with dementia.

nayrt

At least Willow was kind and loving to Tara after Glory's mind-wipe. In season 6, though, something disturbing happened to the dynamic (my guess is she liked being semi-in charge of the Scooby Gang after Buffy's death), and suddenly Willow started feeling ENTITLED to Tara's affections. That's what made her use of Lethe's bramble such a betrayal; she knew how hurt Tara had been by her manipulation at the hands of Glory AND her own family, and yet - Willow did it anyway.

na

This. I'm not saying that Willow is a horrible or irredeemable person, but I seriously question anything who can defend what she did to Tara. It's just beyond fucked up on so many levels.
