I apologize for the mega post, but in order to fit your parameters, a lot of things would need to be reworked.

I've thought about the answer long and hard, and there are multiple ways of approaching it. To me, the biggest sin is how trivial this rape is in the context of the scene, and how useless it is to the narrative. The entire Northern storyline has not been well written, though I can't say it hasn't been acted well at…

If Ramsay is going to make a power play, then why not Sansa? In other post, you mention leaving the ambiguity in as to whether Sansa was a helpless victim, or steeling herself/preparing herself for it.

The exaggeration and hysteria surrounding this topic is a culmination of the issues people have had before, compiled over and over again until they say enough and have the temerity to complain or object.

mental and physical hardship do not default to rape. Otherwise, we would have seen Sansa raped half a hundred times by now.

No one is saying it was "cool." But the show, and the show's characters spent a lot of time recovering from the Red Wedding. It didn't just happen and get it shrugged away. It further emotionally deadened Arya Stark, it broke any sort of faith or rapport that Sansa might have with Tyrion at that point in the show. It…

That just got weird.

Or they knew choosing to have this character raped would provoke the biggest reaction, regardless of how much sense it made in the narrative to have the character raped.

It isn't going to convince me, because he's talking about the books, not the show.

We all fucking hate thenns.

People criticized that too!

Actually, wasn't is Irri - or one of the Dothraki Handmaidens that actually didn't die in the books like they did in the show?

You add so much to the conversation.

That too. He's mentioned the "Butterfly Effect" on his blog, which was very neutrally worded, as well, with regards to the show.

Which is your opinion, and aside from calling me an insane SJW, draft cow, etc, you've yet to offer anything that validates the way they've decided to depict rape.

One, by saying Jeyne and Sansa's arcs are identical, you miss, as I argue the show does, the key difference between Jeyne and Sansa vis a vis their position in "the game"

Well, let me rephrase that, "I'm still not cool with how they handle rape in Game of Thrones." Because you, as a counterpoint to myself, are 100% behind how they depict and handle sexual violence on the show, yes?

Happy to amuse! Rape in GoT still isn't cool.

Never once mentions the show in specifics, refers generally, if not entirely to his own writing. Which is a different beast.

I didn't dispute that at all. I was being cheeky and referencing arguments I've encountered while vociferously protesting the Sansa storyline.
