She exclusively drinks Shirou's blood during mana transfer, there's no mention of rape or masturbation or needing semen and Shinji just slaps her and treats her badly rather than explicitly abusing her

The story really suffers in the Realta Nua version in my opinion. Not just the sex stuff, but they completely rewrite Sakura's past, making her story weaker. I say this as a Sakura fan, from the OG FSN at least. I watched someone play through Realta Nua recently as I hadn't played it myself. I didn't realise how much they butchered until seeing the whole thing. It's a shame, really.

Up until the Shinji scene after Shirou found his resolve, it was fine. Drinking blood and what not played hand in hand with the whole mana/od coming from fluid. But Shinji pushing her around not only feels comically weaker than her OG fate, it basically removes the whole pretense and weak excuse for Shinji to act out his minor ego over her.
Pushing her around until she snaps when compared to her unchanged fate in the bug room? Lmao.
Literally raping her under the pretense of providing her with od which at that point in time would've changed nothing and was an planned incident by Zouken to crack down even on Sakura's own minuscule self-worth that came after Shirou's confession and resolve the day before getting trampled on by Shinji as he sexually assaults her again?
People give Nasu a lot of justified crap for the sex scenes at times but in Heaven's feel, where most of it gets contextualized by the worldbuilding which its impact gets rectonned in the Realta Nua edition (But was oddly enough restored in the movie adaptation) makes a difference in interpretation.

I completely agree with everything you said.
When people talk about Realta Nua, all I'd heard in the past was that they removed the sex scenes. So, foolishly, I thought it can't be that bad.
But removing how fucked up Sakura's past and present were in terms of her abuse makes her going dark way less convincing to me. I just don't buy it. As much as people shit on the movies, at least they adapted some of that aspect in there with what little runtime those things had.

The rain scene is especially shit by comparison as well. Shirou coming to the realisation that he's viewed Sakura as someone she's not, and fighting with his feelings for her. Him coming to terms with all the signs that he ignored in the past, and accepting the real her. Man, that was my favourite scene from the original game. It just doesn't hit the same in Realta Nua.

You were also raped when you were younger but no one's being judgemental about it, grow up.

If she had done that, the shadow would eventually take over her completely even during the day (we see this in the bad ending where Shirou doesn’t come along with Assassin). Her going dark was the better outcome since it gave her control over the shadow temporarily, allowing her to take out Zouken who Shirou and Rin never found any real answer for how to deal with other than sacrificing Sakura. It’s obscured due to the story’s themes of how the way people’s actions are interpreted often is colored by the role the world has assigned them (Saber Alter personifies this concept), but most of Dark Sakura’s actions were actually good despite her trying to live up to the role she had been assigned, with the actual conflict between her and Shirou being between her agency and her safety.

I think Sakura would be fine with sharing Shirou with Saber or Rin if she is fine with Rider.

I'll never forgive Nasu for not releasing the alternative HF ending where we'd get to experience a threesome with Dark Sakura and Dark Saber

Nah she will, once Shiro tells her he wants Sakura to dominate her older sister together with him.
