Was it creepy when we complained about it with vikings?
Depends on context. The Vikings did, factually and historically rape a lot. It was part of their culture. To leave it out would be sugar coating the actual past in a show that I think was trying to present itself as true to, to an extent. Plenty of ways to depict it and present it that wouldn't offend me at all, and plenty of ways to suggest it's odd if it wasn't at all present.
But, to try to make factual/historic claims on a fictional, speculative group of people on a sci-fi show, all while ignoring some of what we do know about their culture, is ignorant. Remember, Oatlord's desire to jerk off to more rape scenes was founded on two principles: 1) claiming this fictional, speculative group of people are based on another fictional, speculative group of people and thus they would obviously be raping all the time because women are hot and don't wear a lot of clothes. and 2) The society that is littered with women in roles of power that will torture a dude to death for just about anything doesn't value women.
The first is projecting ones own desires onto a situation. Woah, a lot of hot chicks wearing hot outfits with shit smeared on their faces? Why aren't these equally hot men wearing just as little not raping them left and right?! I suppose the fantasy is that if Oatloard were big and hot and Barbaroided out he'd get all the rape he desired! But rapists rape, normal, sane people, even fucking grounders, don't just run around raping their commander and general because they're showing mid-drift. Not to mention, I think statistically more ugly women get raped than hot ones, because I'm guessing if you're a hot grounder warrior chick you'll be on the lookout for rape.
Let's not even fucking forget this is a show cast by CW, and the reality is most of these women wouldn't look so good in 'real' fictional life. So basically wanting a higher-than-normal level of rape is basically just wanting to see women get raped. Hey, CW, you cast chicks that are hotter than typically expected given the circumstances, now you've gotta rape the more often!!! hubba hubba!
Point 2 is just more ignorance, because even if these societies--in whatever dumb comparison to fucking Klingon's--didn't value women, despite the evidence they value anyone who is strong, woman or not... but even if they didn't value women doesn't mean the show should suddenly be all rapey.
What we know: Even faced with evidence a group of people do value women, Oatlord can't seem to grasp the concept, and seems to think hot women running around still mostly clothed on a tv show means that damn tv show should be showing more rape, and why wouldn't you rape someone who only weighed 100 pounds if you wanted because they sure as shit wouldn't stop him! And if you point out flaws in his perspective, well, the powerful women should be raping women too!
I don't give a shit about rape when it's valid, like in Vikings (though there are ways to infer things that I think would probably suffice even if some sick fucks wanted it all raped out for them).
I give a shit about stupid points of view, though, because, well I don't, I guess, because it's not like I expect deep discussion in this thread. But at least the jerking off perspective makes sense where the "why ain't their lots of rape being show?!" seems like a cry for help... holding a girl down.
Reminds me of the scene in This is the End where they quite hilariously take about raping Emma... who is plenty petite and some people argue she's attractive.... on a scale of 1 to 10--10 being this thread where there is no rape and 1 being you lurking outside bars at 2am--how disappointed were you, Oatlord, when they didn't rape Emma?
