Paul is introduced to Chani under false pretenses, and uses his privileged position to seduce her.

This is rape, right?

The first time I went out with my now ex, she cleaned up real nice, looked great and was smart and engaging, and was thin. She wasnt any of that in real life and turned fat, does that mean when we had sex that she raped me under false pretenses? Thank you Anon. At last I truly see.

Nobody thought he's a God. Paul had to prove himself though a shitload of trials and customs. Chani fell in love with him, because Paul was an Atreides aryan ubermensch who told her some tales about the seas. Fremen bitches loves the seas.

This. Paul was never seen as a god, he was seen as a messiah, hence why the second fucking book is titled "Dune Messiah."
