There's no interpretation of it as rape that doesn't somehow lend credence to the idea of magic tarot readings. Who's even to say if he did stack the deck that that's not just as psychicly valid as if he shuffled the deck? How you shuffle can cause more or less predictable arrangements of cards. Are some methods of shuffling more cosmicly pure than others?

Stop defending rape. My god.

It's not rape because she's too stupid to consent?
I'm saying for it to be rape that you'd need to argue her belief in the supernatural makes her too mentally deficient to consent.

Did he trick her or not, using the movies logic .

Believing her powers are real makes her mentally deficient which means she's stupid which means she's too stupid to consent. This is what you are saying.

You realize that even with that premise you're still agreeing that it's rape then, correct?

The issue is not that he tricked her. The issue is that her criteria for having sex with someone is not something which can constitute rape by deception. Bar none, it is an absolutely shitty thing to do, but it falls under the same area of lying about your martial status, lying about your astrological sign, lying about your intentions ("I'm going to start a family with you"), etc. Those are all ultimately surface level things that do not matter in the case of having sex. They make someone a scumbag, but not a rapist.

He also tricked a supposed psychic tarot reader that they were destined to be lovers by stacking the deck.

That one is on Solitaire.

If you're going to let superstition determine your partner, you can't fault someone else for playing the game as well.

(And Bond did confess.)

Are you able to comprehend a difference between "defending rape" and disagreement about whether a particular situation constitutes rape?
These types aren't capable of that. They made up their minds to begin with and will do anything to twist reality to fit their initial belief.

If it were possible to legally bind someone into having sex with you via a bet or said bet will be enforced by illegal force, yes. If it's just a friendly bet that one could back out of without repercussions (excluding social repercussions), it's ultimately again just a surface level thing akin to foreplay.

The scene involved Celes gets the airship, or she ends up becoming his sex slave. That isn't legally binding, but it's pretty damn desperate for anything but sex.

Let me be perfectly clear--It's literally impossible to stack a tarot deck in any way in which it would imply the reader's soulmate is the person being read. If the reader were to reach that conclusion, it would require them to make wild inferences about things that Tarot simply doesn't imply by nature.

Yeah but the people complaining about it dont have a leg to stand on mostly.

Theres something to say about classic courtship & male/female values (across all cultures) but more importantly.... Womens rights and how these old films cross the line, and how we can use that to recognize social injustices being committed today. They say hindsight is 20/20 for reason.

Maybe this new era of Hollywood combined with his Social Media generation is churning out these complaints? Because while of course there is a *point* (they stopped making movies like that.........) (duh) James Bond was pretty tame for its day. No? Pretty typical too. I think it also had a lot of strong females. But yeah. This got left behind in 80s man.

Doesn't mean its rape. At what point is consent circumvented? If someone is your soulmate does that mean you need to fuck them as soon as possible? That is a utterly bizarre take even if we assume she had absolute belief in tarot cards. It's completely demeaning to actual rape victims. Rape by deceit is a very specific type of claim that requires material lies that would undermine a reasonable person's consent. Tarot cards would be laughed out of a court room, even if it's a sincere belief.

Can you not do this pedantic sealion shit

No one is arguing what could be legally proven in a court room. The fact of the matter is Solitaire did not want to sleep with Bond, Bond wanted to sleep with Solitaire, and he coerced her into sleeping with him by stacking the deck. That is literal rape.

With Connery (as usual) being somewhat of an outstanding case. The whole thing is misogynistic, even Brosnan. But Connerys Bond takes the cake. He brought something with him to the role that made is much worse. But again. This is a big topic. For big people. Feel free to chime in tho @thewall, @theair

In order to think that stacking the deck of Tarot cards is rape you have to also ignore the meaning of the Lovers card.

Lovers Keywords

UPRIGHT: Love, harmony, relationships, values alignment, choices

That means even with the belief that the cards determine destiny it at most says she has a choice to sex Bond or not. You could interpret the three cards as either High Priestess should be Lovers with the Fool or the High Priestess would be a Fool to Love him. (These double meanings are a get out of jail free clause for predictions going wrong, which is how tarot can seem to always be right.)

That isnt to say Bond isnt a rapist in other scenes like when he forced himself on Pussy Galore but this one scene is just him being an asshole not rape.

His interactions with Xenia are both misogynistic and abusive, if not outright predatory. Sure, she was evil, but that doesnt excuse treating her like meat. Consequentially, it was stuff like that which made Bronson believable as Bond and I dont think they meant anything by it. In fact, Xenia changed how we perceived the Bond girl.
