I read the books, did you? As Martin says the scene in the books is from Jaime's perspective meaning how he views the events. So what he thinks happens is what we get. There's a literary term called unreliable narrator. When you are adapting to tv that is lost, again, as Martin explains. So we are seeing a clearer…

This whole shit is ridiculous. Two arguments are coming up here:

So are some people honestly arguing that rape should never be portrayed in fiction at all because to do so glorifies or condones it?

How the hell does that scene glorify or condone rape. Portraying it does not give it a thumbs up the same way the previous episode doesn't support using dwarves for entertainment.

It does happen in the books. Cersei says no, Jaime keeps insisting, also the chapter is from his perspective so it's going to be different in that regard as well and not necessarily objective.

Oh man, this show is so misogynistic. Why didn't Dany grab a sword and fight that guy but had a man do it for her instead. Baw

No, you guys are just used to the puritanical American television industry that goes apeshit if a nipple is on tv. If you are going to have scenes in a brothel, guess what? Nudity will happen. If you are going to have a sex scene, nudity. Not a bunch of close up shots and quick cuts then the two actors are sitting in…

You are oversimplifying things way too much here which was also the problem with True Detective criticism. Game of Thrones is not set in this modern world, to have the women of said world be treated like objects does not mean the writers are misogynistic. Can you tell me how many black characters we've seen in the…

Can we all just pause a minute and realize we are talking about the moral standing of a character that has sex with his own sister

Jaime never raped a woman because the only woman he ever loved was his sister. That's it. And now that woman was pushing him away and denying him what he wanted. To have him act out of sexual aggression is not out of character for him in that context. If you still have such simplistic notions of these characters are…

Guess with True Detective gone you have to find another series to clamor on about misogyny.
