It's sometimes called a "hate scene" rather than a love scene. The way I read it is that he doesn't see her as a real person. He tells her what to say and do as he's programming a computer. Or maybe he's giving her some human emotions to experience in order to make her more real? In the end, he is in love with her. His encounter with Batty, who shows him mercy and compassion, may have convinced him that the replicants are valid people with genuine feelings and dreams. Of Electric Sheep.
Anybody know when it was decided that the sex scene between Deckard and Rachel was a "rape scene"?

when he holds her captive as to prevent her escape so he can engage in sexual acts with her is when i think it was decided this was pretty rapey
