"we have someone who was written as a rapist by accident (Seriously, the ammount of writers that don't realize that mind control is a form of rape is staggering) but is regretful and remorseful of all her evil actions, and on the other we have someone who is written as an unrepentant rapist who is not remorseful."

Okay, but how does that make someone who DOES sympathize with Kilgrave MORE of a "rape apologist" than someone who sympathizes with Regina? (Particularly since, from what I've seen, Kilgrave's sympathizers don't go around saying shit like "It wasn't rape!" "It was one instance of the writers fucking up so we can ignore it!" "Omg stop talking about Graham it wasn't really rape we're meant to ignore that", etc, etc)

The secret wasn't talking about why it's easier to sympathize with Regina over Kilgrave, it was talking about why it's "more okay" to sympathize with her over him, and why those who DO sympathize with him get blasted with the "rape apologist" label whereas Regina's followers get much more of a pass on that. And I have to admit I'm really curious about the same thing when, from all the comments here, it seems like the excuse boils down to "it's easier to ignore/overlook in Regina's case".
