Yeah, Apokolips turned Earth 2 into a new Apokolips because the original was dying or decaying or something stupid. Then Telos took his Earth and turned it into a new Earth 2 for the heroes and refugees to go to literally two months in real time after Earth 2 was destroyed, making it all ultimately pointless. Then there was a crappy story to start the new series on this Earth and I stopped reading at issue 4. I heard it got better, but I don't care.
I would still call it wrong, but still think we would need to avoid calling it rape.
If I convince a woman my name is Fred and that I'm a successful rich doctor, and she sleeps with me, and then it turns out my name is Bob and I work at a gas station - is that rape?
Or rather, are we not doing a disservice to those who are violently raped by using the same word for both?
Oookay, so Aquaman had his senses impared, his vision, hearing and sense of taste and smell were compromised and he had sex. I guess slipping a roofie in someone drink and having sex with them isn't rape either. The shapeshifter did more than lie to Aquaman, she (or he... Do we rely know?) altered his senses, possibly manipulated his brain and decision making

I have no beef with Vegans
I didn't read the story in which it happened but as described in this thread that is obviously rape. I don't even understand why it's a source of disagreement.
Well don't go by upgrayedd's description. Siren disguised herself as Mera and had sex with Aquaman. That's it.
As I've said, it might technically be rape, but I think if Arthur was in some sort of therapy group with a woman who was actually held down and violently raped, and he said he could feel her pain, she would tell him to go eff himself.
At least with statutory rape we have some additional word in there to indicate that it's not really the same thing. "identity" rape or some term like that would need to be invented.
