It's true that they could do this, but why would they purposely give someone psychological trauma?
I did say not rape. I would not classify teasing in high school as 'psychological trauma', although it can be cruel. A given Revan could've gotten a 'Let's just be friends' line, and that could've turned her off to future relationships. I'm not saying this is realistic, but it could happen.
And every single time I've seen virginal!Revan in a story, it is usually so she can be deflowered by her one true love, Carth (or at least that's what it seems that the author is trying to do).
Okay, I get what you're saying here. That does smack of one true wuvness. Happily, I don't have this problem. :D
Going back to the jealous fangirls thing, though... I think I do sorta see their view. I think a given Revan really might feel jealous of Morgana, a dead woman. It's not logical, but emotions rarely are, and rarely controllable (I don't care what the Jedi say), but she might (and feel really bad about it). I mean, who doesn't want to be the only person in someone's life, right? The one true love they'll have and will ever have. Not logical, again, but dealing in emotions rarely is.
I'm gonna work this angle, but I'd like to see what you think. I think Revan might really be envious of the normal life Carth and Morgana led (glossing over the fact that he was rarely home during the wars), and their having had a kid together. I think Revan would want to have the same thing with Carth, except she can't, being a Jedi (if she hasn't turned her back on the Order, something I find dubious in fanfics if she's been depicted as the responsible, remorseful Jedi). I think she'd feel really bad that she can't have the proverbial house with the white picket fence life with him, and she may long for that sort of life even though she's probably not fit for it and it would probably drive her crazy after the first day.
I have to wonder, too, just how suited to that white picket fence Carth is, too. I mean, two wars and the trauma of having his wife die and his homeworld destroyed will change a person in unexpected ways, and I wonder if he isn't stuck in the 'action, gotta save the galaxy' mode permanently after that.
