anon, you have to be deliberately blind to not catch the implication that she was raped.
in fact, a lot of this tells me you're being deliberately blind. I never said what happened to Jason Todd wasn't terrible, but the context of what happened to the characters is ultimately what makes them different. yes, the "cripple the bitch" thing makes a lot of difference. you are being willfully blind if you can't see how that makes them different, and how the cultural context these comics were created in changes things.
if comics existed in a vacuum that exists apart from the real world, then you might have a point, but these fictional stories are created by real people living in a real world with real opinions informed by a real culture.
