Let that rape scene





Why are so many calling that "rape"

It was on her wedding night, she did NOT say "no" or try to fight it. It was unpleasant sex for her. It was degrading for her. But, it was in no way..."rape". She made a decision to go along with this scenario. She doesn't LIKE what she has to do. But, it is 'willing' in that sense.

If she didn't want it to happen, it was rape. She excepted it would happen before she ever got married. But just because someone doesn't fight it, doesn't mean she wanted it.

I guess our definitions of rape are different. To me, rape is nonconsensual sex. A husband can rape a wife. Yes, it was her wedding night, but that doesn't change the fact that she didn't want to have sex with him. Thus, it was a rape.

If I walked up to a random woman, and said I will kill you and your family if you don't bend over and take it, and she bends over and takes it, that's a rape.

How can you honestly argue that that wasn't a rape?!

Ding!

Of course, Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri thinks it's rape. LINK /

Hilarious...the violence and debasement of women in this show is legendary (Hell...the Sansa scene was essentially the same as Dany's wedding night with Drogo), but THIS is what turns her off????

I agree. I don't get the outrage. I thought it was a relatively mild scene compared to many in GoT. There was no nudity or torture. Theon's anguished expression was actually ridiculous considering the context; a man merely fricking his wife on his wedding night.
