It's a somewhat sympathetic story-line but it reads terribly if you ever took the metaphor to represent anything like sexuality, race, etc... can someone say conversion camps Story wise it's also a narrative dead end and when Rogue had the same situation in the comics, she chose differently.
Of course, if you really wanted to learn more about Rogue I'd suggest reading about her in the comics; it's her source material. Unfortunately she's not being written the best in Excalibur (2019) right now either. I would suggest Vol 3 of Uncanny Avengers (2015) written by Gerry Duggan and Jim Zub as well as Kelly Thompson's Mr and Ms X (2018) for a decently written Rogue in recent runs. But the best Rogue stories are told by Chris Claremont (Uncanny X-Men) and Mike Carey (X-Men Legacy) if you were really curious on why people like her.
