Yannis is a potential rapist


He forces (or tries to force) Sofia into making out/sex at least three times in the movie and he doesn't seem to pull back when she is trying to defend herself. Also, imagine this movie would represent the "real" version, meaning that the straights would be gay. A gay Yannis would represent everything straight men fear about gays - somebody who would attack them and practically rape them on the spot.

And the reason straight men are scared of gay people attacking them is because they know how they act themselves with women and they don't like being in the role of the prey. Too bad.
