This is rank garbage and imitated pornography.
No one should watch it anyhow.
Why would anyone complain who likes the show? Something about a scorpion and a frog.
>>The scene, which aired in May, was part of a story arc which did not appear in the novels.<<
They’re right. The book scene it was meant to depict was considerably worse. Although they changed the female character.
During the initial first season, I stopped watching when they killed the loyal dog. Didn’t pick it up again for several years.
Why not just change the show to depict a typical radical Islamic family at home?
It wasn’t graphic. There was no nudity. Mainly, it depicted cruelty via the amused expression on the rapist’s face and the shocked and pained emotions running across the victim’s face.
The books are as filthy as they are, because they are based upon Maurice Druon’s “Accursed Kings” series, but with fantasy elements added in.
Druon’s books have all that sexual violence because they are historical novelizations and the French Capetian monarchs really were that awful.
There will still be a number of people parading around the screen naked and having graphic, consensual sex. There will still be graphic depictions of gay sex. There will still be scenes of graphic, bloody battle carnage and gratuitous, graphic torture scenes. But at least they will be Politically Correct with no rape scenes. Because as we all know, women weren’t raped in Medieval societies.
Given that there are no rape scenes in the subsequent books, this seems like a pretty easy promise to make. Hypocrites.
I’ve watched this show, and the thing with Stansa Stark was not rape, unless you want to use some feminist definition of rape. Sure, the guy was a psychopath, but she knew that going in, and consented to marry him anyway for some Machiavellian reason that I can’t remember, then consented to the sex on the marriage night. It was obvious that she expected it to be unpleasant, as he was a known psychopath, but she went through with it anyway, and, while we hear her make sounds of pain, never, during the whole scene, do we hear her ask him to stop. I think the whole “rape” uproar regarding that scene was due more to the unfiltered show of her submission to her new husband, and, of course, feminists and the Left in general are intensely uncomfortable with the idea of a woman submitting to a man ever.
