Re: Game of Thrones Rape Scene -

I think Game of Thrones has been around long enough to understand that the controversy and the violence it shows in it's content is going to cause some members of the fandom some distress, I mean they knew when they wrote this scene that this is a significant trigger or potentially trigger for some people and it is going to cause controversy.
And everyone in the fandom, all of it's viewers understands whenever they turn on something like Game of Thrones that they are going to be faced with potentially disturbing imagery.
But this is something that the producers need to be held accountable for. To come outm and completely change the original content and the gravity of it, it's very disgusting from the producers and I think they need to apologise to their fans for doing something like this to then, I mean no one expected it, considering the original and no one was impressed by it, they need to apologise.
So normally some thingsm the viewer and the producers take on a risk and acknowledgement but this is different and they need to apologise to their fans or risk losing many of them.
The bottom line is, they turned a loving act and embrace into a horrible act of violence and they did it deliberately.
“At times the world may seem an unfriendly and sinister place,
But believe that there is much more good in it than bad.
All you have to do is look hard enough,
And what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events may in fact be the first steps of a journey.”
