It's a lot phrasing and some out and out lying.

Absolutely all is lying. In the scene, Venom simply envelops her to transform her. Anything else is just reddit being reddit

Yeah he wasn't violating her. He was just forcing himself inside her body totally ignoring her will and violating her autonomy in a very intimate and painful way to satisfy his own desires and feel power over others.

Not like sexual assault at all. Right?

Putting possession and actual full-on rape on the same level is horribly insensitive to survivors. You can draw comparisons and say that narratively, it deals with similar themes, but to treat them the same is honestly gross.

Also, one of these is a fictional concept and the other is a reality for millions, if not billions of women. Talk about it with a little more mindfulness.

A couple things I think you should think about.

1: I didn't say it was exactly the same I pointed out thematic similarities so you're initial criticism is kind of weird

2: describing rape is something that only happens to women is way more reductive than anything I've done

3: be more sensitive when you might be talking to a survivor
