But I know him

Okay TW for SA but truly. No one will ever be able to convince me that Bucky wasn't sexually assaulted in his time as the Winter Soldier. He was stripped of autonomy to the point that he didn't even understand it as an abstract concept. He was so dehumanized that he wasn't even an ANIMAL, he was an OBJECT. A weapon, like a gun. And you're telling me that a man like that, who does not even know that "no" is a response he can give, who does not even possess the mental faculties to understand consent, was never taken advantage of? By the... *checks notes* dozens and dozens of very evil men who kept him captive for the better part of a century? These are already men predisposed to violence by virtue of the fact that they are in HYDRA. These violent men are then given weapons and power and the ability to operate with complete secrecy, with no power structure to hold them accountable...

I simply don't understand people who will die on the hill that it couldn't have happened. Aside from the very rudimentary logic which (if you ask me) makes a pretty plausible case for SA, we see him stripped down, smacked around, his own lack of autonomy used to entice people to him. He is constantly touched and moved and undressed. Idk maybe it's me projecting, but so much of Bucky's story is at the very least an allegory for SA. I find it to be a compelling theory even without concrete proof.

I love the way they looked at each other before growing!
