What was with the near rape of his girlfriend?


So he goes to a gay bar, comes out, beats the hell out of a guy following him (poofter bashing) and then comes home all horny and takes it out on his girlfriend?

Such a weird scene. It wasn't sexy to watch. It looked like a rape.

The sex scene did look out of place, but I don't remember any gay bar....

reply

So a player realises hes gay and follows him to a back-alley bar and it's implied that its a gay bar.

reply

They didn't show any gays there, he was probably there for some spying stuff, Berg's life was an enigma, there's no definite proof that he was gay.

reply

In this story he's gay. Did you miss where he touches the Japanese man? Where when he's hired they mention him being gay?

reply

It was just a friendly touch, the Japanese guy had six children, he wasn't gay.
And when he was asked if he was queer by that general, he avoided answering the question.
In my opinion he was probably asexual, which was a condition pretty hard to explain back then...

reply

Gay men had wives and kids back then. Very common.

reply

Then why didn't Berg marry?

reply

In Japan it was probably mandatory. Arranged. America is different.

reply

It was not rape, as she fully consented and reciprocated. However, it WAS awkward and did not add to the story.
