I understand why this is a charged issue for people, but I think the way the comics handled it is good.
The whole point of it is that she was a different person when she raped mark, just like every other viltrumite. Were so desensitized to mass murder in media that we kind of shrug and accept a redemption arc for the murderous viltrumites - but Nissa confronts the audience with something deeply shocking and personal that forces us to really interrogate the questions the comic is asking about forgiveness and whether it can ever be earned when you’ve done something unforgivable.
The comics say that yes, genuine change is possible even for the most atrocious people. It would be nonsensical to say that yes, it’s possible, but ONLY for murder and genocide, not rape.
