I'd argue a 90 minute movie is far different than 50+ hours of that people have invested in - one just over 20 hours more to go. We're past the halfway mark. And there are some people who are tired of how they handle rape and sexual assault on the show. There's a reason the Sansa thing has blown up when the scene…

It does undo all her development, though. We're explicitly told, and by the most obvious signifier on television (costume change!) that this Sansa is "For real" and "Srs Busnss." And then, for the sake of storytelling, for the sake of the narrative, they immediately put her back into Season 1/Season 2 abused Sansa…

Is this a parody post? I think this is a parody post. If so, I salute you SIr. I see what you did there.

If you've read any number of comments, rape and sexualized violence? Yes, you can include these things. Outlander, in this case - Spartacus. The former horrifies you with the graphic detail, the latter shows you a world built on dominating other people (which manifests itself as rape frequently), and the latter, for…

The first four episodes are a little hard to get through, but then, oh man. So good.

Bitnoh, if we're so squeamish about rape, we should watch My Little Pony instead of Game of Thrones. Fuck that. We're Spartacus fans!

The Cersei point is dubious, and more how they can't seem to handle complicated relationships on a technical level, but for all the intent and purpose, many people, the majority, found it a rape scene.

Whenever someone whines that we are saying rape shouldn't be depicted, I point them to Spartacus as one of my favorite shows.

It is an assumption based off the history of sexual assault and rape in the show, so I'll give you that. There isn't a lot of confidence left with regard to that subject matter in Game of Thrones.

Cry about how people have issues with Game of Thrones and don't respect it as the pinnacle of televised serial storytelling some more please.

You mean that one article?

Because rape is something that seriously effects a person?

You know, you don't have to come here to make your point, especially of you're not a regular viewer. I'm kind of thinking you aren't a big Outlander fan.

Very well put.

GoT made the intentional choice to include rape and sexualized violence. And for many, this is a straw breaking the camel's back, which does include the intensely uncomfortable scene with Ros. And now where there had been a few voices, it has grown to be this vocal.

No one is saying that Ramsay should have turned out a loving, caring husband and attentive, gentle lover. What people are holding against the show is to sensationalize the horror withoight the follow up, which is why so many are calling it gratuitous. It is the intentional choice of the show runners to include a half…

I always thought adventure games had more female protagonists than most other genres. There is some of the Dracula games, The Longest Journey…or at least, it feels like they do.

Actually, when it came to Mongolian women, he was.

But only if there is a topless woman involved, no?

But I don't have issue with a Marti doing that, and I'd argue the framework of a medi-fantasy world makes the brutality more palatable as we can excuse it. He inverts tropes found in the fantasy genre specifically which is a car more valid reason for him using that setting versus "history." I will go on the record as…
