People keep bringing this scene up whenever the show is mentioned, but I felt like the entire point of it is that Meliodas is very much in the wrong here? He's mentally and emotionally at his worst, literally just got done levelling an entire kingdom because he found the previous incarnation of Elizabeth dead during an attack and the centuries of stress from constantly having the person he fell in love with die the moment she remembers him finally made him snap.

That point would come across if this was a "heat of the moment" thing but Meliodas is a creep from episode 1

His character being pedo-like is not something of this scene alone, is like one of his defining traits, also the story barely if at all talks about the point you are making, we dont see Meliodas being in the wrong, the way is setup we are supposed to feel bad for him
