I see your point, but most of that was side characters. The show has been much more willing to use sexual violence against main characters.
Eeeh, I don’t know about that. In the books The Mountain pretty much raped a tavern owner’s wife/daughter (?) in half, Ramsay does worse to Jeyne (Dogs), Dothraki are raping maniacs. As this was an arranged marriage, it’s essentially the same thing that happened to Daenerys, their meeting was a 30+ dude raping a much…
Well, recall that in the books, Theon finally does grow a pair (if nothing else) and try to strike back at the Boltons. Dont recall that its gone over too well but this could be similar to that. Doesnt mean he’ll be redeemed.
It wouldn’t be the first time the show has made us change our minds about morally awful characters. Just look at Jaime Lannister.
If that scene is used solely to move Theon further and not Sansa, yes, I’d be thoroughly disappointed, but I don’t expect that to happen. But the question does become whether Sansa has an…
Except this rape wasn’t the kind of trope rape that usually gets used to jumpstart a character arc. Ramsay and Sansa are *supposed* to have sex to consummate the marriage. Yes it was unpleasant. Yes Tyrion declined to do so. But according to the custom of Westeros nothing untoward happened in that marriage bed. If…
Sansa’s verbal sparing with Myranda was great. And I love the concept of Sansa being in “her home” that the show keeps coming back to. Her undermining the Boltons could be an awesome arc, but that final scene is just so fucking unnecessary.
In general the show has been much more rape-filled than the books. Well, to main characters. I'm not surprised they're doing this. Though there are many nuanced female characters, you can still really tell that the show runners are white dudes.
Both Sansa and Arya Stark have been apprenticed to monsters lately on Game of Thrones. But in last night’s…
