Okay, I'm pretty sure you're the same as the anon below. My point there is the same as it is here - crappy writing that doesn't spell it out as rape doesn't mean it's not rape. But Tara herself did not express that it was rape. Because this is fiction and because we cannot ask the characters what they feel, this is all we have to go on whether HER CHARACTER feels whether it's rape or not. That's not to say that it's not. But as far as we know based on what is written for her dialog and her actions, the character does not consider it rape.

Whether a character believes she has been raped and whether it is rape are two different things. I concede that this looks an awful lot like rape. I was only making the point that we cannot ask Tara her feelings on it because she is fictional. That is literally all I am saying.

But why did you need to make that point? Why does it matter that you make this point?

Because this is where the conversation led to. Because it's related to what the OP was saying about Willow being a positive portrayal (although, like others here, I disagree that because Willow is gay and Jewish and not a villain, it doesn't mean that Willow *can't* be a rapist). Because it's potentially important to Tara and Willow's developments as characters and in their relationship within the show, which again can be different from how viewers can see how those developments take shape.
