Bitches and their fake outrage. Bring feminism to a medieval time period fictitious world!
I unfriended someone on Facebook just today for bitching about the Craster's Keep background rape. Sick of hearing about this shit. If you don't like it, don't watch it and shut the fuck up.
Yea I just haven't see any of them since. Maybe they are just all chilling in the back or maybe Daario let them go which I can't see any reason for really as they surely have enough gold after having sacked so many cities to keep them around. Unless they were in the latest episode and I missed them, I will have to rewatch it and check.
I don't mind the rape scenes at all but I can see them being a problem for some people. I think unlike the other violent actions shown (murder, torture and mutilation) some people just haven't been desensitized to rape. It does happen in some shows and movies but not at quite the volume as it does in GoT. After 20+ years of action movies and torture porn (movies like Saw and Hostel) I don't even blink when I see someone getting killed or torn apart (I can't stomach to watch the shit on liveleak though).
I like how she twice mentions how she told her husband she was going to stop watching after the Red Wedding, and yet she's watched every episode since. That's one of the biggest piece of trash articles I've ever skimmed over. Fucking feminists.
What do people think happen in the real world with an absence of law and order?
Exactly. Part of the appeal of GoT to me is that it's a gritty, no-holds-barred depiction of the horrors of medieval wartime. I get Neno's point about audiences being less desensitized to rape. But what's frustrating to me is that anyone intelligent enough to sit down and write a long, articulate Facebook post (or blog post, opinion article, open letter to HBO, etc) should also be smart enough to realize that for themselves. They should ask themselves why they are so bent out of shape about rape scenes when they've been enjoying 3 seasons of graphic depictions of murder, maiming, torture, etc. All of which are arguably worse fates than rape.
From that, it seemed (to me) that the phrase had a deeper and more important meaning. It's like "This coin and this phrase will lead you to me"
This is exactly why the show should be showing things we've never seen and exactly why I have no problem with it. The POV writing style severely limits what readers get to see, as far as what's happening all over the world. What readers gain into character insight, they lose in those other regards.
Exactly. The show is an entirely different medium to present the story. They've done a great job so far.
