I think it's more to do with Cersei being shown as a Victim. She is the manipulative and controlling one in their relationship but Jaime raping her is kind of making him look like the 'bad guy' and her the weaker one.

They already began portraying Cersei as "the victim" when the show had Joffrey order Robert's bastards killed, and not her.

In regard to Jaime, he is already an attempted child murderer among other things. I don't see how the rape could possibly lower his moral standing more than it already is. The basement is the last level and he is already there.

Aye, but wasn't the whole thing that he changed while traveling with Brienne? I'd like to think he has a better sense of morals and such now... Or at least in the books.

I'll give you that, although, as a poster noted above, this is a trend from the very beginning of the show. For whatever reason, Benioff and Weiss decided to change Cersei's character from the one found in the books.
