Sansa’s rape, in the show, was the catalyst for Reek remembering that he’s Theon and finding some courage that had been stripped away from him along with his genitals - an act which generated zero outcry from the PC rape hordes.

I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again: The very first episode features the beheading of a man who has done virtually nothing wrong in the opening few minutes, and ends with graphic sibling incest followed by an attempt to murder a child.

Idk they took a storyline that was “raped and then raped by dogs” and the writers turned it into something much better. They used the rape to ,not change the female character who is raped (which is the usual trope), but used the rape (after toning it down) to progress a different character who was effected by sexual…

“He was also a victim in that scene.” ..absolutely right!

What I find so irritating about this whole “issue” is the fact that the source material (book 5?) had a much worse scene after the wedding. But the show downplayed it. Yet still people said it was over the top. People act like it was a plot device to show how evil Ramsey is, but in my opinion it shows how naive Sansa…

I’m sorry, what? Fiction is created solely to escape from reality? Not only is this woefully wrong, but if you want to escape from the horrors of reality, then shows like GoT especially shouldn’t exist.

She wasn’t raping her cousin, she was having consensual sex with him. Anyway, so because in your mind she raped someone she also deserved to be raped? What kind of stupid fucking logic is that.

Quick question. Has Cersei’s scene been aknowledged as rape by the producers? Or what GRR said on his blog about how the producers bungled the storytelling by not conveying what the scene was about, and was easily interpetes as rape? Which is the official one?

To be fair, I’ve yet to hear anyone complain about the lack of Jeyne Poole’s feels from the last book.

I think Theon’s role in that scene has been misread. For some reason, no one takes sexual violence against men seriously. He was also a victim in that scene. Sure, it was in bad taste because our society continually uses women’s rape as a plot device to motivate male characters, and there’s no way it wouldn’t be read…
