I mean it's a kink thing, they start talking about how the alien mind control is tapping into the real repressed feelings they've had for each other etc, it's all very Tumblr slashfic But you know, like slashfic, the point is approaching the attraction as forbidden and taboo

It's gross Also Gene revealed that they didn't get any of the angry letters from Southern viewers he was expecting, and instead got one fan letter from a creepy old white guy talking about how his mother wouldn't approve of that scene but old Kirk was a lucky bastard

The way I remember it, Uhura actually apologized to Kirk. Which is a little bit progressive in terms of how society viewed men and consent, but the racial dynamic complicates it. Apparently making it non-consensual made it *more* tolerable to network censors.

This is a whole thing Hays Code said you could portray "taboo" or "illicit" sexual encounters but only if you *made it clear* they were supposed to be taboo or illicit, often by adding elements that objectively make them problematic
