Are we seriously discussing the moral implications of that scene in this episode? There are some very important things at stake here. If Okabe doesn't get that phone from her, not only does Mayuri and Moeka end up dying, but the future becomes a complete dystopia.

Okabe has a lot of things riding here, and he also should be a little mentally deranged at this point over everything.

Moeka isn't innocent here either. She stole the computer from them and is leaking information to SERN about them that will inevitably lead to their demise. This isn't about beating women, and honestly why are women put on a pedestal above men when it comes to violence? If this was okabe punching some other dude would this be the same? Give me a break.

Okabe's actions are perfectly understandable. Furthermore, the morality of it here is of little consequence to what actually needs to be done.

Anyhow, this was a fantastically dark episode.
