Hiding your past as a piece of shit from someone who should know is really bad but it is a different offense than becoming a woman a guy knows and raping him.
In a good timeline, writers would bring Lyja back and use her because she's interesting but never let her and Johnny have much of anything beyond forgiveness because of the uh, constant rape.
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
The thing with Lyja is that Marvel agrees that what she did was sexual assault... Only with different characters.
The exact same thing happened with Namor and a Skrull pretending to be Sue, so the question is why is that accepted as sexual assault and wrong, but not the situation with Lyja which was the exact same thing and in some aspects worse?
Namor The Sub-Mariner #50
The character was called Lyrra for Pete's sake...
She even apparently became "pregnant" from it like Lyja did (remember that Lyja lied and her egg was a weapon to kill the FF). It's obvious this story was to mirror that one.
I just want Marvel to call a spade and spade, the notion that her and Johnny should ever "get back together" is frankly disgusting.

What is it with some superhero writers not getting what consent means? I remember that the 80s run of the Avengers had Moondragon use her powers to enslave Thor and it was implied, if not outright stated, that they had sex (read: she raped him) while he was in that state.

While I agree with you about Lyja, I don't see Skye as being much better. She put an unconscious man in her bed, stripped him of his clothes, put an arm band on him, and then when he wakes up, calls him her soulmate. I guess technically she isn't a rapist, but still, none of this was consensual. I don't want to see Johnny with either one of these women.
