Not gonna lie, guys, if you want to get caught up in whether she's being "raped" and didn't consent, I think you should probably pass on this show.
You are certainly supposed to be uncomfortable with the fact that these people are imprinted shells, but that first scene shows without question that she made a choice to enter the program in exchange for...well, we don't know yet. I'm sure they made quite clear the kinds of things that would happen to her if she entered the dollhouse, and, while she might have liked the alternative to joining even less (if you want to call it a forced choice, fine) that doesn't change the fact that she chose to do so.
