The Gods Are Bastards makes the same call-out!

“I’d be careful with that kind of joke, Professor,” Toby warned. “Sisters of Avei consider the use of love potions a form of rape. So does Imperial law, for that matter, but Imperial law doesn’t get quite as…worked up on the subject as they do."

Only Villains Do That, by the same author, has a similar reference - the protagonist receives a "starter bundle" of spells, one of which is Enamour. He's pretty skeeved that one of his few starter spells is a rape spell.

Dang, love potions are a dark art confirmed.
