This went to funny to fxcked up really fast (that rape scene kind of was unnecessary I think?).
Honestly I think a scene like this was kind of necessary since it is truly a demonstration that we're past the point of no return.
So many people (myself included) thought that Junko could still salvage something, that is clearly not the case now. Given their relationship is built on hatesex I don't think any purely verbal confrontational have been strong enough to shake us out of that attitude.
Now though she has gone too far and that scene was wonderful in its uncomfortableness.
Tbh all of their previous encounters were already a thin line away from rape. That line was whether or not the other fought back. It's not like they were ever waiting for consent before. Here Junko goes on as normal but Kayo doesn't care anymore and doesn't want to reciprocate.
My point being I agree this scene was kinda necessary, or at least it didnt feel forced. It's in character for both of them and kinda what's been building up ever since Kayo found her own love and didn't need to sexually vent with Junko anymore. Meanwhile Junko still hasn't opened up to Hashimoto. This scene also puts the nail in the coffin of Kayo x Junko. (Unless we get to White Angels level of toxic relationships.)
And just in case I come across ambiguously, no Im not saying Junko didn't cross a line with that rape. She still crossed a line of course.
