I’m deeply uncormtable with the idea that this would be called rape. Essentially anything could be “potentially disqualifying” so it opens the door to calling anyone who didn’t write an autobiography for a potential partner a rapist.

What would you call it? I’m not saying I disagree fully, I’m just curious what you think this is? I think it fits the idea of rape by deception. She actively withheld information she knew would impact their relationship and she went to great lengths to conceal her race. He never had the chance to consent to being with who she really was. If it’s not rape by deception, is it fraud? Just wondering what else this could be considered.

I can’t find the words to articulate, but even though I think the character is in the wrong, I don’t think it’s at all comparable to not disclosing your sex.

Is it really writing an autobiography to say two words? Seems like it’s dishonest to frame disclosing one’s sex as similar to telling one’s entire life story.

Careful, don’t want to be a rape apologist.
