not successfully, no.

it's kind of a big assumption that you know what the director realizes and what he doesn't.

I'm just reading the scene for what it was, it's not my fault the director wasn't skilled enough to leave a proper out for the rape accusation

but apparently, even more watch the show but don't care enough to complain about it. When I say it's the main draw, I mean from the producer's perspective since they make the decisions on what's shown on screen and what isn't. Their opinion is that the audience wants the bloodiest, rapiest, crassest show they can…

doesn't that make it worse though?

Cersei's leg might have fallen asleep after she consented then

the pacing was off, but the photography was great for a change

"The Rape"? really? are people seriously calling it that? Today's episode had way harsher sexual violence but I can guarantee you it's not going to spawn a week long string of articles about how offended people are about it.

it was better

how does mutual narcissism work?

yet people keep trying… I think it's more of projecting their base flaws into history as a form of affirmation that they don't have them anymore "sure, shit was horrible in the middle ages, but we're so much better than that". In truth, we're not that great and the Middle ages weren't that bad, but most people don't…

but that's the main draw of the show, everyone knows that it is. People can voice a complaint for bad quality sure, but to expect the product to be something other than what was advertised is unreasonable.

why would it need to address it? if it wasn't rape that means she consented. She could regret it or feel uncomfortable later but that's pretty much what happened in the scene they had in this episode

it did, it wasn't completely spoonfed to the audience though. Again, the producers probably pressured the director to make the scene as ambiguous as possible to add "edge" to it and it backfired, but so what? It wasn't rape and the fact that the show continues to treat Jaime as it did before is the best proof of it.

"what looks like" it's not the same as what they did. I honestly don't see how it's their fault that people don't get it. You can call them hacks, but not glorifiers of rape.

The whole book series has that grimdark, edgy, we're better than them feeling. That's what they're meant to do.

I dunno, try to notice then? also, define a "real kiss"

didn't she say "I wasn't going to let you marry that beast"? and Littlefinger explained the plot too?

Jaime's redemption arc kicks off with him murdering his cousin on the show, but this was the last straw that makes it inconceivable they should even try?

she's kissing him back, grabbing his clothes towards him, the implication is that she could scream at any point and the guards would hear, etc.
