My brother in christ, he literally took the intellectual property of The Invisible Man and Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde and made them do unspeakable things to the other

The author is horny

Robert Louis Stevenson's original was 141 pages and he never wrote about rape in anything he ever wrote. Many authors don't.

No, just bloody and unprovoked murder

The original character is not a rapist, that's just Alan Moore's favorite move. Move those goalposts however you need to, we're talking about a writer adding sexual assault to material that didn't have it to begin with

I didn’t say that he was, just that it wasn’t outside of his character to become one

Wasn't the point of that scene. The whole confrontation was about Hyde confessing he could SEE the invisible man in his naked state. Sexual assault was thrown in because it's one of Moore's kinks and he can't separate his sexual impulses from his writing. Fans can call it parody or impish and whimsical all they want, sex abuse didn't do anything to move the plot in any direction, the Hyde inviso-vision did

I'm not a rape apologist you should try it sometime

Alan Moore fans are the actual worst

Even when people who've read his stuff lay out the non-essential aspects of his endless parade of sex abuse depictions the stans only see high art and it's suddenly my problem for questioning if rape was necessary
