Ethan has a low threshold for trauma. That doesn't mean he wasn't traumatized. I wouldn't call it sexual assault though. Everyone's mileage may vary though. Also, Kansas teacher is creepy and if it was, in fact, a one-sided thing, (kid was on Grindr so hard to prove beyond a doubt) then a perv regardless of whether or not the kid was 18.

Ethan Hanson clearly had some very negative beliefs about nudity and same-sex closeness going into the military. He was probably brought up in a fundy christian household and church, and told that nudity and gay sex were evil and bad.

I'd say he was religiously assaulted before he got into the military, and that the hazing event, stupid as it was, just triggered all that christian garbage. And yes, it's likely he got hard during it all and was convinced he'd upset his violent and vengeful god by being himself.

Definitely a case of post religious assault syndrome.

Thankfully I never grew up in a hyper religious family. I cannot imagine what that must be like. Hating yourself for social norms is one thing, but next level religious hating yourself is so much deeper.

Personally, I do not think I would feel sexually assaulted, but Ethan does, and it's not right to mock him for it. Have a little empathy.
