I never even got past the first season, tbh.

lol same

I never started watching the show. It honestly looks like something that I would be interested in, but before I started watching I read from so many people talking about the rape in the books and then so many people who watched the TV show said it was even worse there so I just never bothered.

I got through the first three books and couldn't do it anymore. It was just too much.

i stopped after last season ended but i was ready to check out after that one disgusting scene with all the women being raped in the background like it was no big deal (in that creepy incestuous house where the guy sacrificed all his sons). i hate this fucking show and the showrunners

[denythesymptoms]

that was fucking gross and they like, zoomed in the bouncing boobs of a woman being raped, it was filmed to be titillating. to me that was actually more offensive than the sansa thing, though doing this to sansa shows how unrepentant they are

D: Yikes

[daddyissues]

that's when i stopped watching

[littlehayzay]

have any other celebs/high profile people said anything about the episode? also, can't wait for more people to say how sansa totally could've just walked away!!! in this post

idk why but 'water garden, stupid.' is killing me

[galaxized]

or ppl being like ~why is it only this rape that made u angry?~

[britneyspears]

lol those comments are so annoying, as if people aren't allowed to express dissatisfaction with something unless they do so for every single bad thing that has happened ever in the show

[iamtheliquorr]

mte

idk what comm they've been frequenting but people here always get angry after every rape on the show

[kairoso]

I never watched it and now I guess I have no reason to start

[honeylemon]

i stopped after Jamie raped Cersei, not sure why ppl would have continued after that but oh well. glad this is getting so much backlash
