"However complaining about a movie that exploits rape and then posting the rape victim’s half naked ass seems a little counterproductive."
Gabe didn't [necessarily, ugh] post a rape victim's ass, he posted an actress's ass portrayed in promotional material for a movie that portrays rape. It is the disconnect between the content of the poster and the expected content of the movie that constitutes a large part of the OP's discontent. I think!
Rape is probably a special category in that it is more common than murder and New York City being blown up by aliens. Also, not everyone agrees what rape IS. Most people can tell you if a person is dead or if a major metropolitan area was just exploded, while refraining from blaming the corpse or smoking ruins for having been provocative. So there's that.
"the main character is shown to be even more brutal than her attackers"
Blechhhhh.
Without relevant credentials besides living on Earth, it has been my impression that participating in the dominant/submissive paradigm both perpetrates and excuses that paradigm, whereupon violently murdering your rapists is actually an example of, and not a solution to, the spread of evil that you mention. In real life, people still raped you even if you kill them; also, killing them constitutes a separate act and probable cause for additional trauma. Vengeance is the function of moral malfunctioning, while reducing overall violence in society is the course of action deserving to be pursued by healthy, cognitively functioning adults.
If I were a powerful celebrity who was also very short-- if I were Kristen Chenoweth, basically-- this is how I'd tell my assistants that I need a stool.
Because what's abuse of power without puns.
Personally, the fact that I don't have to worry about Steve Carrell being a racist sexist mean drunk jerk who is also probably homophobic makes him way funnier to me than most comedic actors of the past. No offense, Jeb's avatar.
