Let me be more clear: it's not the embracing that I don't like. I love that MSF is trying to comfort him that way. I love that he's wrapped himself around Tang Yi like a koala clinging to a tree. It's the sudden angry kissing and almost biting, the tearing at MSF's clothes, the kissing down his chest while sobbing, that's way too rape-y and very fucked up. I can't think of a cultural reason that trying to initiate sexual contact in the middle of an emotional breakdown would be more acceptable :)

Edited: in other words it's not the ENTIRE scene. It's that part of the scene that I loathe. It wasn't necessary. It was awful to see and to think that they were really going to show their first time being intimate like that as almost a physical fight.
