Dude it's a losing battle. I personally didn't care for the scene but I also didn't understand the outrage. I expected some people to be mad but not on the "I'm not watching this anymore" level. Sure rape is hard to see, but its been part of the show since season 1. Choosing to be mad that it happened to a character that you like is kinda messed up. It's either be mad at all rape in the show or none of it. Know the "what purpose did it have" argument is valid, but to the show runners there was a purpose and lets be honest. Even if the show runners gave a real valid reason for showing it, people would not accept it.but that scene was in the book and much worse...
so like ii told her same scene different character.
the people couldn't handle the book version if it happened
I think the answer is simple. Some people with power in the media through blogs and websites got mad and told people what they should be mad at. Everyone with a blog has the ability to be a pc cop now. That's my two cents on the subject.
I know this chick that stopped watching Thrones after Ned killed Sansa's direwolfWell he made theon warm her up first. Forgot her name, sansa's friend. Sometimes we just react more to something in comparison to something else. I had more feels when the parent brought the bones of his child to dany and told her drogon killed the kid than when walda and her baby got hounded.
