You can never leave according to the whole world.
Usually it is, but is that really what G&K were aiming for here?

Why couldn't G&K have run with a scenario like the one you just described, rather than setting off a shitstorm of creepy subtexts (even if it was unintentional)? The only explanation I can think of is that they simply didn't give a damn what it made Adalind look like, or what it made Nick look like, or the sour taste it would leave in audience's mouths. Adalind sleeping with Nick is the direction they wanted to take the story, and fuck off if you've got a problem with it. If the whole rape issue was directly addressed later in the show, regardless of whether Adalind had to face the consequences of her actions, THEN it would be genuine "moral ambiguity." But since it wasn't, all that remains is creative laziness, and creative laziness is indefensible.
I almost wonder if there isn't a confirmed hatred of women in there somewhere. Take Adalind, for example. She isn't even raised to the state of prostitution. She's a skank throughout the series.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
