Tanukichi: (about Anna) HOW ARE WE GONNA FIX THIS??!
Ayame: (snarkily) "Fix" it? Why would you wanna do that? I thought you had the hots for Anna. Now that you know she feels the same way, you've got the green light to get freaky with her.
Tanukichi: You don't understand, I admire Anna for her pure spirit. Besides, I couldn't enjoy getting "freaky" with her if she doesn't even know what she's doing, or her real feelings.

Sanae: (to Hanabi) Tell me, tell me if you want me to stop.
Hanabi: I won't...
Sanae: Why?
Hanabi: Because I care about you.
Sanae: I know you won't. You care about me as a friend, I know that I'm someone special to you. You can't say no to me, because you don't to lose me too. So of course, I'm going to take advantage...

Mr. Grouse: Does it still count if the rapist is a cat?
Luna Loud: Yes!... I mean, I don't know, because there's never been a... I mean, technically, it... no, you know what? I'm sticking with my first answer. Yes, it counts.
Peeking Through the Fourth Wall, "After Dark: Episode 1"

Dennis: Why in the hell do you think we just spent all that money on a boat? The whole purpose of buying the boat in the first place was to get the ladies nice and tipsy topside so we can take 'em to a nice comfortable place below deck and, you know, they can't refuse, because of the implication.
Mac: Oh, uh... okay. You had me going there for the first part, the second half kinda threw me.
Dennis: Well dude, dude. Think about it: she's out in the middle of nowhere with some dude she barely knows. You know, she looks around and what does she see? Nothing but open ocean. "Ahh, there's nowhere for me to run! What am I gonna do, say 'no'?" (laughs)
Mac: (nervous laughter) Okay. That... that seems really dark, though.
Dennis: Nah, no it's not dark. You're misunderstanding me, bro.
Mac: I'm—I think I am.
Dennis: Yeah, you are, because if the girl said "no", then the answer obviously is "no", but the thing is she's not gonna say "no". She would never say "no", because of the implication.
Mac: ...Now, you've said that word, "implication", a couple of times. Wh-what implication?
Dennis: The implication that things might go wrong for her if she refuses to sleep with me. Not that things are gonna go wrong for her, but she's thinking that they will.
Mac: But it sounds like she doesn't wanna have sex with you...
Dennis: Why aren't you understanding this? Sh-she doesn't know if she wants to have sex with me. That's not the issue...

Dennis: Well, she's gallivanting around, you know, flaunting it for me, and she knows how easy it would be for me to have her, too, because of the implication. Not that you would understand. It's not what you think it is.
Dee: ...Nah, I think I get it. We're out in the middle of the ocean, she's stuck on a boat. She couldn't possibly say "no", 'cause something might go wrong for her if she did.
Dennis: (stunned) That's... That's exactly what it is. How did you get that so fast?
Dee: It's like... When I'm alone with a guy, and we're messing around, and he gets all skittish about banging... So then I insinuate that it would be a shame if my account of what happened was different from his, and then he ended up getting a call from the sheriff. Y'know what I mean? And then, boom. (shrugs) We plow.
Dennis: Okay... Yeah, I—I think I get it.

I do not know whether to say that my father raped my mother or not. The law would have some difficulty in assessing the case; the jury could perhaps be swayed by a clever individual one way or the other. I am told she did not scream, did not fight, did not even say no when he came to her in the kitchen on the night of my conception, and in twenty-five inglorious minutes of passion—in that anger and jealousy and rage are passions of their kind—took revenge on his faithless wife by means of the kitchen girl. In this regard my mother was not forced, but then, as a girl of some twenty years living and working in my father's house, dependent for her future on his money and his family's goodwill, I would argue that she was given no choice to resist, coerced by her situation as much as by any blade held to the throat.

"Thawne killed your dad and then tricked you into almost marrying him, all the while making you believe you had a choice in it all."
Mia to Iris, The Flash (2014)
