Before things spin any further away and out . . .

. . . the source of the charge of the possibility of Jolenta's rape . . .

. . . is none other than Severian himself, in URTH (iirc).


Thus it is not something whipped up by fan or critic.

Severian himself, writing his tale, alludes to it as possibly being rape.
He uses that word.

Once again, in pursuit of accuracy.
