It doesn't surprise me, I've always hated Rogue with a burning passion and I always knew that underneath her poisonous skin was a disease spreading slut just bursting to get out and Fuck anything with testicles. She comes off as this sweet, charming southern bell, well that's just a big fucking facade to hide that deep down Rogue is just curled, manipulative bitch that's only looking out for her own interests and has no regard for others feelings.
It baffles me that more people don't hate Rogue as much as I do or call her out on her bullshit. Most female comic book characters disgust me but Rogue inparticular just gives me the creeps, and if Gambit has any common sense he'll just say to hell with it and move on.
I suppose from the male perspective Rogue could represent the potential consequences of desire. STI's, pregnancy. Easy death if you're human.

shareI’m happy to see where they go with it.
Rogue and Magneto had a very brief and mostly off-panel flirtation circa Uncanny X-Men 274. And they were together in the Age of Apocalypse universe. She also had a flirtation with Magneto’s young clone, Joseph. In Uncanny X-Men 341 Joseph used alien technology to inhibit Rogue’s powers so he could kiss her (just on the forehead, but who knows—what happens between panels stays between panels, am I right???)
They can easily come up with some technobabble way for Magneto’s powers to inhibit hers. Or just say he puts on a magnetic ultra sheer body condom. Who cares. It adds a wrinkle, some drama, and gives Rogue and Gambit something to do in the show.
Growing up I always expected for Gambit and Rogue to finally kiss only to discover that his energy producing powers cancelled out her energy sucking powers. It makes so much sense in my mind for their powers to cancel each other’s out. Or they could have discovered they cancelled each other’s powers out because they were cousins a la Black Tom and Banshee! They are from the south, after all!
It's something that happened in the comic series Age of Apocalypse. I'd recommend reading it. It's pretty good.
