I think it's problematic (and deeply horrifying) to say that we should think that they can just handle it, that we should should "enjoy" the "gay undertones" of male-on-male sexualised violence (what on earth is "gay" about it? should I enjoy the erotic heterosexual undertones of male-on-female rape?) and should be horrified that Ruby, while possessing Coma Girl, has sex with Sam.
Arguably, indeed, Ruby possessing Coma Girl could be the least violation - in that, she suggests that Coma Girl isn't in there anymore. In Heaven and Hell, she says the body is back with Anna, rotting. If she's telling the truth, then she would be the only one in the show who isn't violating people in this way.
