Yes it's morally wrong, but it still might turn out just fine anyway and if so, who cares really? Of course this would only be the case if the subject with the power would treat their partner the best way possible and is a good guy/girl. It's definitely dishonorable, though.

That's putting the person against their will, so yes, it is morally wrong.

Is it, though? The will has been fundamentally changed.

Magic/sufficiently advanced science just kinda ruins our local moralphysics.

I mean despite them going along with whatever you want, they still didn't make the choice to be in love with you.

Their will has been changed because you decided their consent is irrelevant and used magic to forcefully reprogram them into being your lover. That's pretty obviously fucked

You don't choose who you fall in love with, or who you're attracted to, though.

Forcing someone against their will is fucked, but we change wills all the time via interaction.

You don't force people though. There's no comparison here, you're forcing someone to do things they don't want to by using your magic date rape spell. You're both forcing yourself on them and fundamentally erasing their freedom/identity

Yes, it takes moral agency away from them. Even though they will know no difference in their daily life, the same could be said about a rape victim who was drugged and never found out, so both are morally reprehensible.

That's also a real life phenomenon called grooming, which is very much illegal in the case of minors and heavily frowned upon in the case of insane sex cults.

Flirting is a surface level means of convincing someone that you're worth their time. Grooming is purposeful psychological manipulation taking advantage of mental immaturity (children) or mental weakness to make someone believe they want something over a period of months or years.

Yes, but grooming takes advantage of mental weakness, and is only "making them believe" they want something.

In this magical case, they actually want something.

The only difference in real vs magic is they cannot later rationalize that they were manipulated. It doesn't change that the initial cause of manipulation is ripping their free will from them via mental manipulation or magic. It's mindrape that leads to real rape. There is no scenario in which the unwilling manipulation of someone's mind can ever be seen as a positive or neutral thing.

It's not ripping free will, though. It is real, actual love, induced by magic, according to the statements made by tc.

And that love is granted through the manipulation of their free will. Imagine the most disgusting troll of a person using such an item on some celebrity. Are you saying that's completely fine because she now truly loves him, or are you only projecting this onto a scenario in which both people are equals in appearance and status?

Yea none of that shit matters. Looks are irrelevant. I don't know why some people here are arguing otherwise but the rest of us see it for what it is. It is manipulation and it would be rape.
