Write the first rape as appearing consensual from his perspective, then eventually reveal, somehow, more and more how all the sex was actually rape. Have him be delusional, deluding the reader. Like the first 100 pages comes of as a standard girl fantasy book with seemingly alluring scenes but eventually the rapist protagonist and reader comes to a self realization that it has all been rape, from 'mild' to violent. Perhaps even murder. A bit like a Nick Cave song that sounds all dandy until you read between the lines.

Stoner was pretty sympathetic.
Seriously, though, I recommend that you skim over the rape scenes. If you avoid going into grisly details the emotional reaction of the readers won't be so violent. Even if they rationally know that he's a rapist, if they aren't shown him doing it then the emotional part of their brain won't jump out against him. Go into detail when it comes to his good deeds, or his more sympathetic character traits.

A character that's been raped and abused so often themselves that they either do it with extreme disdain for themself in moments of weakness, or legitimately don't even fully grasp the evil of what they're doing or see it as completely normal.

Don't. Why would you? I understand that rape is a part of reality but if I'm going out for a quick rape then sympathy and empathy aren't the fruits I'm looking for. If you're just trying to make it excusable then balance it out with the rapist's greater half; make the victim equally unable to be sympathized with, or perhaps make both of them rapists, or just don't tell yourself it has to be excusable in the first place. To ask permission for this is as paradoxical as trying to consent to it. It's practically a-priori "bad." If you want to see the moon look first for the night. Don't ask for the silver lining first.
