That's an interesting title you got there but

Let me list all the things that probably contributed to Jasper corrupting aside from the act of fusion itself:


 * Jasper fused with the monster multiple times without consent


 * It was a same-Gem fusion, which likely encouraged more complete and lingering merging of the minds thus making transferral more likely


 * Jasper already hated herself


 * Jasper was already completely consumed with a desire for revenge


 * Jasper felt hopeless after losing; notice she didn't start corrupting visually until she accepted defeat


 * Jasper already had trauma from the war going against her

Meanwhile, Pyrite and Gomedha:


 * Have a positive relationship and understand each other


 * Are very different kinds of Gems, so the effects of fusion are less likely to linger

We also don't know if corruption always spreads in fusion--we literally only have one example, and it wasn't fun for either Gem involved.

And, finally, Gomedha's whole Gem-type (which I should probably make a page about) is known for hyper-adaptability, so it isn't unreasonable to assume that she'd be capable of adapting a little more to make the corruption not spread as easily in fusion. She's definitely smart enough to think of it.
