It was the same in the German dub! Otherwise though, the German dub was MUCH closer to the Japanese original than the English one. I got so confused when I watched Sailor Moon in English the first time, entire story lines seemed different, and they had this weird extra "moral of the story" part at the end, and Mamoru…

Though being a prostitute and getting raped aren't mutually exclusive, of course. Sadly, plenty of sex workers get raped.

Germany hasn't asked Muslim women to de-veil, only the complete veiling/wearing the veil in front of the face (which is actually forbidden by the Quran anyway, ironically enough) is not allowed, but it is not allowed for anyone, regardless of gender or religious affinity. Just wanted to clarify that.

I cringed just watching the trailer! Hated the book - this whole "teenagers who talk like super witty, quirky adults" genre makes me roll my eyes soooooo hard, especially when combined with the whole overused cancer narrative.

Because the patriarchy likes to pretend that female consumers don't have an impact on the entertainment industry. As in - most films are still geared towards (white) men because they are the only viewers that count, apparently.

I actively dislike the book. It was pretentious and felt super stylised to me (if that is the right word here) - it basically read like a more pretentious version of Dawson's Creek...but with cancer. That scene where they kiss inside the Anne Frank House? Bleurg.

What we should REALLY be talking about is the silly bedazzled turban (???) she is wearing!

My boobs never looked like that, ever. Sadness.

"Inspired by" does not equal being an actual, realistic account of these times. Anyone who uses the "but it's WHAT IT WAS LIKE BACK THEN, it's just so REALISTIC" argument just can't be taken seriously, since there was no time like that, ever. Westeros is a fictional place, a made up world.

He probably went home to masturbate, I'm guessing...

Or they are busy masturbating, obvs.

We can't really agree on that as I happen to know quite a number of stories from rape survivors who say that they would have preferred to die than live on with the trauma of what was done to them.

I was so baffled by that! I could hardly stand watching the scene but felt that surely, it must lead to some MAJOR plot development/pivotal character growths and shifts, but nu-uh, it just kinda happened and was forgotten in a flash. What the effing eff???

Since we are all clever and worldly enough to know that Craster's daughters were raped, why show it in such great detail on the show except to show these rapes as a form of titillation? This is what I also hated about the Theon torture porn scenes - we GET that he is being tortured after the first scene, why show a…

God, Spartacus! What a ghastly show! My flatmates were obsessed with it and I nearly gagged watching one episode where there was more rape and gore and naked tits thrown in at random moments than in all seasons of True Blood and GOT combined!

So basically, her role was simply to a) be naked and b) advance the development of the MALE characters (by fucking them and by dying thanks to them)? Um...yeah, that's not at all sexist.

Please stop. Just stop. You clearly have no idea what it means to be raped, how damaging it is to a woman's body AND psyche. You honestly have no fucking clue what you are talking about if you claim that "violence-violence" is worse than "sexual violence" (wtf even with this bizarre distinction?!). There are, for some…

The scene where Daenerys gets raped on her wedding night is lit beautifully, with picturesque scenery behind them, her naked body is shown in a highly fetishised, sexualised way (bewwwwwbs), whereas Drogor, the rapist, is almost completely hidden/clothed. This scene for me set the tone for how GOT treats sexual…

You know, it is actually possible to love a show or a book and still be critical about certain aspects of it. I love GOT, but I hate the direction it has been going in this season. The Cersei and Jamie rape scene was sooooo problematic (as has been beautifully conveyed by this article). But there are also things I…
