I love how the reasoning that Axel is a rapist is based solely on the looks of the guy playing him, despite absolutely no on-screen evidence that he's that type of character whatsoever. I mean, not even a tiny little hint that he's a rapist. Not a wink at any of the girls (or anyone else for that matter); nothing.
But yeah, he looks kinda shifty so he must be a rapist. ???
The reason people are talking about Axel isn't because of his looks
In the comics, one of the prisoners they rescued turned out to be a killer. Now, this guy wasnt called Axel, in the comics Axel was a good guy, but he pretended to be harmless, and then decapitated two women.
Now the series doesnt follow the comics to the letter, but they do follow the major headlines, changing parts here and there to better suit their needs. People are worried that Axel will decapitate Beth, not rape her, and its not because of his looks
Your confused. The character you are referring to was not Axel.
