Well-told fictional stories are actually meant to raise questions about humanity's morality. However, what OUaT did was just plain distasteful. They would just exploiting sexual abuse for entertainment, and to create unnecessary drama.

Since you keep bring up hypothetical scenarios.... would you still hold the same opinion, if the genders had been reversed? Or if the Fantastic Beasts film series, has Grindelwald be the mastermind behind the Holocaust? Yes, have a male character rape a female character, to show that he is bad, would also be valid. And sure Grindelwald could be controlling a muggle Hitler to kill other muggles, under the guise of genocide. That would actually be quite an interesting way to work in WWII. Again, to me, that is the point of fiction, to explore all the wildest stories, with as much nonsensicalness as you want. If I want to understand rape or Hitler's thought process, then I'm sure there are plenty of non-fiction materials I can find.
