sq - I agree there's loads more to get upset about, but this is yet another thing that I suddenly noticed - and I only saw the bit where the couple get stupidly pissed and have sex.
there's also a HUGE debate on whether not objecting is the same as giving consent. ie, if you're too drunk to stop and say 'yes', then you're effectively saying 'no'. there are plenty of threads about it.
i think there are two groups of people - those who go out, wanting to get pissed & laid, so yes, they would give consent if sober, and those who wake up regretting it, and would say no if sober, but got drunk & carried away. The second category is, quite possibly, rape. That depends on how drunk the other partner was etc etc. Which is why I have such a problem with seeing it happen in movies.
I haven't seen enough of it's complicated to know whether he set her up to get drunk or not - if he did, then it's rape. because he manipulated a situation to get what he wanted against her wishes. the fact that he charmed her seduced her, but required alcohol to 'score' just shows how much effort he was willing to put into getting laid.
and the scenario where both people regret it? in hollywood it almost always means that they secretly love each other but need to get laid to realise. the confusion with sex and love is another complex set of ideas, but too often we're taught that sex is right/better/acceptable if accompanied by love, but that sex just for physical pleasure is wrong, particularly if you're a girl.
so yet another example of why it's wrong to show the getting drunk & getting laid storyline.
