I don't think the situations are morally different.

I do think there is a tonal/contextual difference, in the following specific sense. The whole point of Kilgrave is that he's a rapist and an abuser. That's his character. It is inextricable from who he is and what he does. He is written to be a rapist in a superpowered context. The same is not true of Regina - those elements are much less central to her character, because they were never meant to be a part of it - they only became part of it as a result of shitty writers not knowing what they were doing.

I would like to be very clear here: I am not justifying what Regina did, which was rape. I don't think that the intent of the writers alters that.

What I am saying is that, when you think of them as characters, and particularly when you deal with them in fanworks, it makes sense to think of them somewhat differently because of that difference in context. Because, essentially, when Regina did it, it was the writers fucking up; when Kilgrave did it, it's the whole central point of his character.
