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

I'm glad I got to see The Wall episode last season bc I really liked it but yeah that scene killed any love I had left for the show.

The showrunners seem like dicks. I don't really follow it, but there was one interview with I think Sophie Turner where she said they would give them fake scripts where they got killed off every now and then

[ellie_andrews]

That was so fucking upsetting. It made me nauseous.

[frejasface]

WTF?!?! What episode was this? Barf, I am definitely not going to watch this show.

[justrachna]

it was really disgusting. i don't remember which episode, sorry! it was in season 4 though and you just see women being assaulted in the background while characters are having a conversation in the foreground

[candycanegrl]

what episode was this? yikes

[justrachna]

i don't remember the exact episode. it was during season 4 though

[burningpumpkins]

Yeah, that sealed my hate for this show.

It was just so plain to see that rape = entertainment for the showrunners.
