I understand why this is a charged issue for people, that’s why the way the comics handled it is bad.

FIFY

The whole point of it is that she was a different person when she raped mark

Doubtful, since she apparently doesn’t regret doing it.

The comics say that yes, genuine change is possible even for the most atrocious people.

And it’s done it a fucking poor way, imagine a viltrumite male rapist saying that he doesn’t regret raping Eve because it gave him a child that he loves. Most people in the fandom probably including you wouldn’t be so forgiving.
