    Stupid statements like this are why people don’t take YOU seriously.

    Cool, thanks for clarifying

    Good to know you’d rather have a woman raped and doing nothing than furthering her actual character.

    You clearly haven’t read the source material because she’s doing plenty of things

    yeah I’d prefer to see more equal opportunities sexual violence, if we have to have so much of it. There’s lots more in the source material, such as Victarion’s Maester, and since rape is about power there would almost certainly be more than we’re being shown. Any feminine coded guy like Sam would almost certainly be

    LOL wat. You think she has more agency now -in prison- than she did back at the Vale learning how to manipulate the local Lords??

    Exactly... “implied”. There would doubtless be lots of male sexual abuse too but we’re not seeing it.

    Exactly... “offscreen”. There would doubtless be lots of male sexual abuse too but we’re not seeing it.

    WORD

    Why, because she had a ‘good enough’ reason not to have sex? You need to reassess what you’re thinking here and why, it’s easy for any of us to fall into the ‘correct’ rape narratives.

    Neat, I’m in Durham! Newcastle’s really quite big for drugs, most club nights will have people doing dodgy deals in backrooms. At some point you’d probably have to get a number though and either go and collect or have them come to you, both of which are kind of risky as well.

    I thought they did show it onscreen? Either way you’re right, there wouldn’t have been the outcry, but then castration (or the threat of it) is not something men fear on a semi-regular basis and from that point it seems a little like they’re using that visceral fear that most women have, and some have experienced, for

    But they still haven’t actually shown any male sexual assault though..

    They didn’t feel the need to show Ramsey’s rape of Theon though, did they?

    Genius! But too close to Fappy?

    Shit story if you won’t name and shame

    To be fair, she probably thought you should have bought her book...

    HOW did you get out of that?!

    Yeah no actually, talk to any real life woman and she will tell you that she gets ‘you look tired’ comments any time she doesn’t wear makeup.
