Alan Moore would like a word with you.

Obviously this is not based on Alan Moore's work, there's no sexual assault in it.

If there's one thing I don't criticize Moore for it's having his men with power act like men with power

Do you think his work glorified sexual assault? Or just portrayed? Or are we past even that kind of differentiation now?

This is why I like the Flashman books.

They are pretty much the only historical novels I've read where the colonizers are portrayed realistically
