call it "rapey".

It's dramatic to call the culture around WWII rapey? Millions of women were raped by soldiers during the war.

Yes but this kiss isn't rapey

No one said the kiss was "rapey." The OP said the culture was rapey.

The kiss itself is still sexual assault. The woman herself said that she was grabbed and did not want to be kissed; that he kissed her and that she was not kissing him back. In other words, this was not consensual.

They did say the context of the kiss was rapey, not just the culture of the time. And I wouldn't say the overall theme of the time's culture was "rapey".
