This actually reminds me of another unfavorable review that stated showing young Max Lord and his mom being the victims of abuse at the hands of their father/husband was "deeply offensive" and that abuse should never be depicted in a movie that kids will see. It's the same arguement, but sillier, as it all hinges on a scenario that cannot happen.
To those of you continuing to call this rape, please read this and take it to heart. While those of us that have been victimized appreciate people willing to go to battle for us, this is not a fight any of you need to be taking up. PEOPLE CANNOT "BODY SWAP". The souls of the dead DO NOT take over the bodies of hapless mortals and have sex with people. IF that were a real world scenario, THEN it would be "problematic". As is, it seems to be a thread those that didn't like the movie have deemed "out of place" and so they feel the need to pick at it. But please, please, STOP calling this rape or assault. THAT is what is truely offensive.
Obviously I don't speak for all people that are survivors, but I know I'm not alone in finding this conversation triggering, and not for the reasons the "advocates" are calling rape, but for the sheer amount of insensetivety in taking a totally fictional, FANTASY scenario, and giving it the attention that ACTUAL assault/rape/abuse deserves.
