is that a bad thing? just wondering
It would be
less of a bad thing if it wasn't hilariously out of character with how the Star Sapphires have been depicted by Tomasi, not that long ago (along with every single other person who has ever written one, ever, but at the least you could justify that with the fact that these are a new incarnation of S. Sapphires). There is such a profound difference between A)an army of beautiful women who fly around the universe defending lovers and avenging themselves against those who would destroy love, and B)an army of beautiful women who fly around the universe looking for the men they previously wanted to f**k but couldn't. The latter of which is apparently going to be Fatality and Carol Ferris' motivations.
And all that is, of course, even disregarding how Johns' Sapphires are dressed in the first place, which is a whoooooole other can of worms in a room already infested with the mofos.
So, yes, "space rapists" in this here context? Bad thing.
I mean, could this be
justified, in terms of the story? Sure. You could say that Miri was a happy woman surrounded by true love all around her before she became a Sapphire, which gives her a lot of control over the emotion of love. Whereas Fatality, who had no love all her life and spent the last few years driven by psychotic revenge, has no control over love and is being deeply swayed by the violet at the far end of the spectrum. There, all explained. Except that it's just fanfic I pulled out of thin air right this moment, because it certainly hasn't been implied at all in the actual story, and anyway it doesn't explain Carol Ferris.
