But did you need to see another woman raped to know that? Like, did you not know how devilish he was until last night? The writers are lazy and misogynistic.

True that. Which is exactly what rapists say when they’re interviewed: “I never even looked at her face.” So fucking sick of rape as a character development device for the female characters, even more sick of it as a character development device for male characters, and most sick of it as the backdrop for showing…

But it still doesn’t change the fact that this show leaves every single rape victim in this show as unaffected. As if rape is just unwanted sex and not that big of a deal, not realizing that you can’t just have rape happen for shock value and then continue with that character’s storyline as if nothing really happened.…

I don’t dislike Sansa, and I do think it’s admirable that she’s stayed alive for so long. I just don’t think they’ve done enough to show how she managed to stay alive. We’ve seen very little savvy, game-playing or inner strength on her part. Instead we’ve seen a lot of crying, moping, constant victimization and…

She should just poison Ramsey, anyway. And may as well take out Roose, too.

Not to mention the “rape-revenge” arc to inject a weak female character with agency is soooo tired and played out. And I straight up don’t trust the writers at this point. They showed both Dany and Cersei being raped although it wasn’t necessary, didn’t happen in the books and contributed approximately 0% to their…

Can we please talk about how Jon Snow has no idea his sister is back at Winterfell? I mean, you’d think that news would have reached him by now.

Thing is, Daenarys wedding night also didn’t involve a rape in the source material. Drogo is almost literally the first person to ask for her consent in anything, so the romantic arc makes more sense (and the humanizing touch on Drogo alleviates some of the race stuff in the arc). There's a pattern here...

I can’t argue with you there. Sansa has never had much agency or will of her own. She didn’t choose to return to Winterfell, Littlefinger tricked her into going so he could pimp her out to the Boltons, and she went along with it because she believes his bullshit. Sansa frustrates me because she’s shown so little…

I think I’d rather watch the Red Wedding, Oberyn’s death and Ned Stark’s beheading all together in a row multiple times than watch last night’s last scene ever again in life. I sat there and I was just praying...PRAYING for something to save her. Maybe Littlefinger would suddenly discover teleportation! Maybe Stannis…

I agree this scene completely ruined Sansa’s character and all that she was supposed to become. Like how do we expect her to get on after that brutality towards her and become a stronger person. My feelings about the potential for Sansa’s character were changing but now it seems difficult to see that potential I saw…

Oh my god, and I know it’s fairly minor in the grand scheme of things, but the idea that Littlefinger would just take Sansa to the Boltons and be like “huh never heard of you bro that’s kinda weird but okay bye!” is so beyond stupid I can’t even describe it. The idea that A. Ramsay and his exploits wouldn’t be…

Thank you! I don’t know how many comments I’ve read saying that this storyline is more interesting than Sansa’s arc in the books, and I’m like, “Whaaat?” More interesting how? In what way? I mean this girl has been beaten, she’s been emotionally tortured, her father was beheaded in front of her, her aunt tried to kill…

Feeling the same. Having read the books, I kept wondering what route they would go. Part of me thought they would delay the marriage until more players were in place, possibly setting up a Brienne rescue, or maybe have Roose tell Ramsey to tone it down before the consummation, but I guess this is the most logical…

I'm rooting for Sansa to snap and rally her friends in the north, going on a murderous rampage killing all the Boltons. Doesn't seem likely but that's what I want.

I seriously cannot believe how badly they fucked this up. I mean this is essentially what happened in the books to a different character that has been switched out for Sansa, but Jesus Christ, in one insane plot adjustment they managed to completely trash almost all of Sansa’s development so far and in my opinion…

I found myself surprised that I was upset that during the rape they showed only Theon’s face. The only thought I had was “way to make a woman getting raped all about how a man feels.”

Right? They killed off Roz after the actress said she’d like more clothed scenes.

I mean, what’s she supposed to say “I hate all the violence against women on this show. Its as manipulative and abusive as the boltons. Now please renew my contract and continue to make me a main character.”
