This shit is hilarious. When it happens to jeyne pool in the books she loves it and buys tons of merchandise and surrounds herself with it. But when it happens to sansa in the show its an outrage. | ||

Turner: When I read that scene, I kinda loved it. I love the way Ramsay had Theon watching. It was all so messed up. It’s also so daunting for me to do it. I’ve been making [producer Bryan Cogman] feel so bad for writing that scene: “I can’t believe you’re doing this to me!” But I secretly loved it. The amount of complaining is pitiful. Is it fucked up? Absolutely. Have you been watching the show? The story is all sorts of fucked up. I try to avoid these things because sexual assault is a terrible, terrible thing that has been marginalized for a long time and it does, in general, need to be addressed. But this is just ridiculous. | ||

It would be better if Martin did it like Erikson where 6 books later you now reading a POV of the child born from the woman being raped earlier. This was so real geez. He doesn't even know the "auntie" that pops in every now is his real mother or why she looks at him with that sad expression. Issue is Martin largely just uses assault as a way to bring shock value to the story. The aftermath of these things are hardly covered. Anyway isn't it better to have it being physically repulsive on screen than make it seem not a big deal? It seems people are fine with implied rape or all other kinds of sexual assault but when they see an actual depiction of how horrible it is they cry wolf? Maybe it wouldn't be so romanticized if people started to depict it. edit: Steve Erikson, specifically Malazan Book of the Fallen. Should prob spoiler that but it's not really a big deal lol. | ||

Of course, they should of expected this/unsurprised by this (given Ramsay's personality), but even I was feeling like crap for Sansa, and I knew what was about to happen to. I know/hear a lot of people legit, dropping the show after this episode, and I can't really blame them though. Yes when justice comes, it will be sweet, but too long, and people get tired of reading/watching their favorite characters/good guys getting killed/raped/tortured/rotting in prison. edit: What book/author you talking about there Numy? Erikson? | ||

If people drop the show because they can't handle how it shits on their favorite characters one after the other, I mean that's understandable. But to say its a useless scene is lolol to me. The useless rape scene was the one last season between Jaime and cersei. Apparently that one wasn't as bad. | ||

Then they're watching the wrong show. If they didn't learn at the end of Season 1 or the Red Wedding that no character is sacred, then they should have stopped watching long ago. Because of the structure of the show, the Starks feel like the "main" characters, and thus should be immune to terrible things. Same goes for the Lannisters - sure they're painted to be evil, but they're "main" characters, and people freaked out at the Jaime/Cersei scene as well. You're supposed to feel crap for Sansa. That's a terrible situation for her to be in, and that is the correct response. But to get up in arms because of it is absurd. These same people don't freak out nearly as much when it's mentioned that the khalasars rape and pillage their way through the sheepmen. Or maybe they do, I don't know. It just seems silly. I'm not even saying to paint it in the light of "oh well it was worse in the books". I'm saying "These are the things that happen in the story. You're not forced to like it or consume the media." They're more than welcome to stop watching, that's entirely their prerogative (woah that word is spelled weird). | ||
