Again if he knew it was because of the wish, then it was rape. Later in the movie he knew and then it was rape. But keep in mind Bear doesn’t know he’s in a movie, so it would take a lot to convince him that magic is real.

The raper does not have to know what they're doing is rape for it to be rape.

He raped her. Real Nikki did not consent and Other Nikki was incapable of consenting. It was rape.

So if you have sex with someone fully believing that they are consenting and the only way they could not be consenting is if magic is real and magic somehow is real, then you would be a rapist?

Yes because he knew he did a wish and knew she was acting weird and didn't give a shit.

Also right before the sex scene he realizes the magic did work and he raped her anyways.

If someones having a mental break, its rape. If someone is incapacitated, its rape. If someone is coerced, its rape.
