Rape is never cute. Even if you love them. Even if it is to get pregnant. 
Jail! for all the women, who normalize women doing this in the name of romance. 
If we want men to do better we need to uphold the bare minimum. 
Consent is the bare minimum. 
First half was fine and almost cute but as mentioned, I got  the biggest ick from the assault scene and Daphne bein unrepentant to the point of the duke apologizing?
