If one party is unable to give informed, enthusiastic consent - then an appropriate warning/label applies for the viewer, whether the other party in canon is aware of it or not.

It depends in part what people are labelling it...? If they're using "dubcon" or just mentioning "consent issues", then yeah, that's appropriate. If they're calling it "rape", well, maybe not so much. (That said, it's not something I'd want to get into an internet fight over. There are some people who have strong feelings about seeing the term "rape" being 'diluted', for good reason, and don't like to use anything 'weaker' being used - even if it's being applied to the sort of situation you can only find in fiction.)

IMO the fact that neither party is aware of the consent issues (due to an alien virus, or Sex Pollen [http://fanlore.org/wiki/Sex_Pollen] or whatever) is what makes the appropriate label dub-con rather than non-con or rape. Obviously non-con would mean one party is clearly indicating that they do not consent to the sex act that happens; while rape indicates that one party is aware that the other is either a) unwilling or b) unable to meaningfully consent, but goes ahead regardless.

(Disclaimer: I'm not personally familiar with the episode in question nor the 'recent reaction' to it, I'm just basing this on the comments above. So maybe I've overlooked something.)
