I rewatched the original Blade Runner earlier this week in preparation for the new movie and the love scene between Deckard and Rachael is surprisingly rapey (he overpowers her). It doesn't hold up well over time, and wouldn't be written like that today.

Totally agreed that societal mores change over time and you can retroactively realize that something wasn't OK.

The reason he overpowers her is because she's a thing, not a person. Deckard doesn't kill replicants, he retires them.

The guilt, along with his confrontation with the other Nexuses and the (ambiguous) realization he's the one doing the dangerous work because he too is not a person, is what changes him.
