"I don't see the Snow Monster's Corruption being contracted as revenge and I doubt anyone would. Suggesting such seems rather out of place, actually."

"is its own revenge" means the consequence afflicting the bad guy can be interpreted as revenge regardless if the action was unintentional. In other words, it's the unconscious payback caused by the luck of one's decision that inflicted or attempted to inflict harm upon the victim. I was not implying it was intended or to be considered official canon. Lel. "I would assume teaching viewers about some consequences and inherent immorality of something like rape and dehuminzation is something the show might do, considering Malachite and Sardonyx both hdealt with similar situations (though to different extents)."

Malachite's situation is the abuse of one another that has them turn out to be co-dependent. The point of that was to give character development and insight on how self-interests are to be repressed and expressed appropriately and inappropriately when interacting with others. That can be understood.

Sardonyx's situation is Pearl exploiting Garnet's belief in the purity of fusion and ultimately breaking Garnet's trust for Pearl to be recovered after. The point of that was to show fusion can relate to one-sided gold-digging and to announce breaking the cliché of the typical sitcom or cartoon to seem more intelligent than it actually is (done also in "Raising the Barn") which is a cliché itself. That can also be understood.

What the Jasper and corrupted Gem situation implies, however, considering the abbreviation, is one of the darkest and depraved actions a human can possibly do. It is something even adult shows don't go into much depth about, are usually censored out of TV channels, or are met with a lot of controversies if they're not (13 Reasons Why). I genuinely doubt Steven Universe can get away with the message or even consider such a thing for children to know about in such an unexplained light, hence why the scene, if interpreted with one eye as thoroughly as possible, has such a meaning be extremely obscure and difficult to conclude reasonably.

I could understand if Steven Universe bordered on being for the 15+ audience and if it was not only shown how it is now but have the message convince people it is a bad thing not just because force can tame a beast. I otherwise can't. I simply can't, which is why I want to cut "STI" out and replace it with something more likely and supported, which is something I suggested as a topic to describe in my last comment.
