I see the rape in GoT and think "uhg, what a disgusting violent world" and you see the rape in GoT and think "that sure is sexy and romantic". I'm thinking maybe HBO is not where the problem lies.
Well, if we're talking about realism- Jaime raped Cersei. That has yet to be dealt with in the show, but no one who watches the show would assume Cersei would ever forget- she will do something to get her revenge.

the complainers will criticize and boycott GoT all they want, but it won't change anything because neither the GoT directors, nor HBO "owe" them a TV show produced and written to their tastes. And that's true even for complainers that are or were subscribers.
If your ability to scan and digest information is limited, that's not my problem.
TLDR: Don't like? Don't watch...I like, I watch...if something offends me I turn it off...get the idea?
