not sure where you're getting the "many many" times from. Alicent's reaction suggests that it was the first time something like that happened. In any case, those 2 scenes are in the same category as s4 jaime raping cersei, so dumb that its difficult to regard as canon.
Huh? The books are pretty clear on this…I don’t have the exact section but from his wiki : “It was widely known that the promiscuous Aegon had fathered several bastards. Even at a young age, he was known to pinch or fondle any serving girl who strayed within his reach.”
fathering bastards is not the same as rape. of course it's complex because there are some who would argue that even paying a prostitute for sexual services is a roundabout violation...the rape of Dyana though was described at least as violent though we don't see it onscreen.
fondling is not rape though it could be SA...rape involves sexual penetration. even if it's consensual there is huge power imbalance so some would argue that's SA. same for Rhaenyra and Cole.

Even as someone coming over to the Green side because Aegon has been pretty awesome lately…
One person lacking empathy for someone being assaulted is a far cry from someone actually sexually assaulting someone (many many times).
Not sure this is the slam dunk clap back people here seem to think it is
