but... that's not rape, it's nothing sexual nor about power not control, it's just sustenance. I would prefer to use other terms, but in any case, he does that just once and never again, while saying that he acts kinda rapey gives the vibe that it's something constant. Also they way he acts is not really because of vampirism (well, besides the obvious blood sucking), it's because he has been a slave for 200 years, trained for deceiving people and bringing pain and suffering, and we know that people that live through those events then without guidance tend to become the perpetrators, which is literally what's happening to him, he was trained for 200 years to be deceiving, that the pain of others is pleasurable and that control over others is the ultimate goal.

You find him in the sun extatic about the fact that, for the first time in 200 years he can sense the sun and be free. He doesn't want to help others, he wants to experience LIFE, which for him is what cazador lived as, inflict pain without consequence, gain power for himself, and be free. Once you get to know him, his fear of cazador showing up shows up, with the gur hunter, and he begins to show more aspects of himself, even trying to court you to gain power from it. Then, as he gets to know you and actual feelings being to show up, he stops being so flirtatious and explains why he was doing it, that he has no actual experience in normla relationships and that he wants to explore it slowly, lol.

Anyway, I simp for shart so fuck that guy but he's no rapist lol.

I mean, I personally don’t think it’s very rapey, but I can see how it can be read that way by others.
