Real talk, wasn't rape one of, if not the, original safespace word? I don't think I was even aware of the concept of trigger words until The Sixth Slave - Penny Arcade of all things became a internet flashfire.
It's always been my belief that rape was such a banned word solely because it was literally the only crime that a well off white woman would potentially suffer in her life (and who knows how many of those college 'rapes' were just beer goggles wearing off the next morning).
My personal opinion is if the point of Andor is to be "Star Actual Wars", then yes, this sort of thing has happened constantly in the real world and is entirely appropriate in that setting. At the same time, I acknowledge that from an Intellectual Property perspective, yeah, sandwiching "Rape and Genocide" directly between "Goonies Ripoff" and "Baby Yoda: The Movie!" is some pretty severe intellectual whiplash.
Then again, unless you still own Disney stock for some reason, I don't know why IP management is a bigger concern to you than the narrative you're watching at the time.
