cw: expanding upon SA in the scene mentioned in the tweet, spoilers for episode 3 of Andor season 2
spoiler
I just finished that episode, and the presence of that scene isn't the worst one I've seen, it wasn't overly graphic, but you understood what was happening. We all know SA is used as a lazy motivator for a man's revenge because "his woman" was violated. This didn't seem like that, although I haven't seen Episode 4 yet, so they certainly could go down that route. I hope not. At the end of episode 3, everyone on that ship seemed traumatized. You see it in all the actor's faces.I think the inclusion of this scene is to show that there are opportunists working under a fascist regimes that abuse real life undocumented workers all the time. The imperial officer knows about her undocumented status, he says this in the episode, he uses the threat of deportation to try and get what he wants. When that doesn't work he gets more aggressive and violent. Bix fights back. Kills her assailant. All the characters already have established motivators for fighting against the empire. Bix doesn't and didn't need a man to rescue her and certainly doesn't need anyone to "take revenge" on her behalf.
Maybe episode 4 will explore more about how SA affects women, we will see.
