I was just trying to rationalize how Ramsey would think about the situation. Sansa (being of royal blood) is useful to him, so of course he’s not going to kill her. The other girls are just playthings.

How am I being an asshole? You argument was that a main character got raped. Lots of characters face harsher outcomes - many of them nobodies that were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. No big deal?
The Song of Ice and Fire is significantly based on the War of the Roses.
This story takes place in a medieval setting. To say otherwise is to be intellectually dishonest. Fantasy is added, but it’s clearly reflective of the middle ages and a time of kings, queens, serfs, knights, etc. A time when those in power treated people like shit, especially commoners, women, the deformed and…
The scene isn’t taking place in 2015. It’s taking place in a medieval setting as the result of an arranged, political marriage that requires consummation. Is it horrible? Yes. Is Danerys having an possibly innocent man eaten by a dragon horrible? Yes. It chopping the head off a deserter who saw ice zombies horrible?…
How do you think they felt about Marital Rape in 8th century Europe within arranged marriages? The point is that in their world, Marital Rape is probably considered a dereliction of her duties and not baring a son would be considered a failure. (Stannis and his wife)
Sansa rape is evil but no more evil than the rest of the brutality that happens to innocents on GOT. In fact, rape is no more evil an act than murder, torture, war, or any other physical violence. I don’t accept the fact that it’s a special class of crime that warrants special sensitivity and that can never be…
They should’ve written it where she got on a dragon and flew into Winterfell and Ramsey was standing there and she stabs him through the heart and then she flies to King’s Landing and, like, becomes Queen. And then Eddard comes back to life and so does her mother and Robb and all of the Lannisters get cancer and die.…
And all the men in the show who has met an untimely demise while bearing a penis? No care for them right ? LMFAO
Game of Thrones literally begins with a woman being traded as property to Khal Drogo. This isn’t a world where women have rights or power, not really, as it’s based partly on medieval culture. It’s amazing how people are totally down to watch a dude’s penis get cut off and tons of violent murders, but rape is all hurr…
It accomplished getting Reek to finally turn back into Theon in a faster way than can be done otherwise (remember, this season is already half over so they don’t have time to develop this over multiple episodes). I just don’t get the hand-wringing with this shit. Why you pearl clutch over stuff like this is beyond me.…
Wonder for how long are people going to beat on the dead horse? MoS wasn’t perfect, failed the portrayal of the main character and so much more. The real problem that that movie had, for me at least, was this: YOU have technology to create life on any planet, and instead of choosing Mars, rebuild your society AND THEN…
The bigger difference between Man of Steel and The Avengers is this: people were almost universally prepared to love The Avengers upon walking in the theater. Same goes for Age of Ultron. The opposite is true for Man of Steel and BvS, mostly because of Zac Snyder’s name. The end result is team Marvel essentially…
Sorry mate I prefer the dark gritty takes on the movies, over the happy, fun, love triangles. Age of Ultron seemed to end before it began, the first one was good until I seen everyone united, then it became like every other cheesy brightly coloured hero movie which only comes across as good because of the cliche one…
pfft whatever, anybody else ticked off by the fact avengers 2 is basically avengers 1 all over again with a crappy illogical plot tacked on? spoilers ahead:
1) the team is kinda falling apart again from the inside
2)villain plays mind games to disrupt the team
3)evil villain plan to make hulk rampage
Cut Superman a break. It was his first outing. All the other Avengers were established heroes fighting crime way before they came together. Superman didnt even fight crime first. His first conflict was ZOD. Everyone is a little messy their first time.
Well, from watching Superman of Steel...It made it seemed he really didn’t have the fucking time to save anyone as he was having his own ass handed to him. I enjoyed man of steel. It was not the best super hero movie but I thought it was good. I feel like it should of shown some of the loss I’m sure he felt knowing he…
I don’t agree with this assessment. I was struck by how much hands on murderin’ the Avengers commit in the opening alone. Sure they are “bad guys” but to your point about Batman, he doesn’t kill, like , at all. Meanwhile Tony Stark is blasting holes in human being’s chests, Cap is throwing motorcycles at people and…
People keep wanting a movie to somehow capture the 1940s superman and the 2005 superman. They are literally miles apart. Superman killed zod knowingly in the comics. It was the same basic concept in the film and is known as one of the defining moments of post crisis 1985 of the character.
The complete and total witch hunt against Man of Steel is getting a bit old now. Everyone knows what people did and didn’t like about it and everyone has heard every argument for and against the most divisive bits. But kotaku and io9 in particular seem to take every opportunity possible to just keep bringing it up,…
