Serena Joy of the books WAS complicit. She was a Phyllis Schlaffly figure, Offred recalls seeing her on TV, telling women to get back in the kitchen. So yeah, she was complicit.

STORY, PLEASE.

So, is Krieger going to turn out to actually BE Hitler in this season, or…?

Anyone a little disappointed we didn't get a young Mel Brooks in this episode?

You are a genius and this is as accurate as it is hilarious.

Mallory IS gorgeous… on the outside.

Thank you!!! I love Girl Genius!!

That's not what the word "repeat" means.

Repeat: he had problems long before that movie.

Oh please, Ledger had problems well before the Joker.

And there were various alternatives and they still handled this like shit. If they thought Sansa's face would be too rough, they should have never gone there in the first place

That doesn't justify this. Changes that MAKE SENSE are fine. Not only does this make no sense, we're talking about how the scene was FRAMED. And how it strips Sansa of her ENTIRE STORY. But obviously this is hard for you to grasp

PLEASE don't try to use this event as Sansa manipulating anyone. But this is just proof positive of what I'm talking about with the problem that we didn't get to let it be HER experience.

Not to let her pain be about her? Yeah. The focus is still clearly on Sansa's rape, dude. But it's about THEON'S experience with Sansa getting raped. Not hers. See the problem?

I KNOW. BUT IT WASN'T SANSA. SANSA'S STORYLINE WAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. PAY ATTENTION.

I know there is rape in the books. But Sansa ISN'T RAPED. It is not part of her storyline, WHICH IS WHAT WE ARE DISCUSSING HERE.

WHICH IS EXACTLY MY POINT ENTIRELY. Sansa is NOT the rape victim, this isn't her story, but they raped her and robbed her of her actual story for Theon's and then couldn't even let her be the focus of her own damn rape. *bangs head against wall over people not getting this*

Apparently you're the one who has a LOT flying over head. No one said it WASN'T about the rape, but it was about THEON'S feelings about it rather than the victims, prioritizing the feelings of a man's over that of a victim's. If I have to explain that to you again, then there are clearly a few neurons failing to fire…

Actually, I'd have preferred they FOLLOW THE BOOKS and not have rape at all since they know NOThING about portraying it. But this approach is just a cherry on top of a shit sundae.
But yes, if Sansa was being raped, they should have focussed on HER. Who was being raped. Not on the pain it caused Theon. ON THE PAIN IT…

Um, I didn't say he would. At all. I'm talking about the fact that we LITERALLY just focussed on him during Sansa's rape, and how Sansa's storyline was destroyed just so she could play a part in Theon's story. So everything you just wrote is utterly irrelevant.
