What surprises me, is that readers blame Micah instead of JC. If she's raped by anyone it's him. Micah, as usual, is just a convinient dildo. JC not only infects her with the ardeur with no warning, though at absolute minimum he knew it was possible, and probably did it on purpose since it gave him everything he wanted: more power and made a monogamous relationship with Richard impossible. Yet she never punishes him, or even interrogates him with the marks open.
Furthermore, when Anita reached out through the mind link to ask for his help, he used their link to force Anita's hand onto Micah's dick, thus making her protestations unbelievable to someone under the sway of the ardeur. He's the one who destroyed her autonomy, and her ability to truly say no, but like most bodice-ripper wanna-be's, that's exactly what she wants. JC is only fulfilling his function as the agent who forces her to act upon her repressed desires.
LKH only considers it rape if the rapist is unattractive to the victim. That's why no one is allowed to turn Anita down without being killed or humiliated. Since Anita is never forced to have sex with anyone she isn't attracted to: no one who's fat, bald, or a flesh-and-blood lesbian ever makes it into the DoomCrotch, and since she shows no anger towards the creature who infected her, I can't consider her a slave or a victim, though that's how the ardeur should work if LKH weren't using it to live out her masturbatory fantasies.
She's an evil tyrant who's too self-deluded and narcissistic to admit that she enjoys controlling and abusing people, so she makes axcuses for her sick desires and demonizes anyone who dares to speak truth to power.
