Re: Game of Thrones Rape Scene - April 23rd 2014, 07:27 PM
Look, people can have rape fantasies all they want, that's not really the point of the thread nor would I say I'm especially "anti-rape culture" but this scene just rubbed me the wrong way especially as I'm such a fan of the books and Jaime's character and I feel this scene has ruined that character arc for me.

The point is that what was shown on our TV, regardless of the way the creator meant it and explained it away, was rape. No ifs or buts about it.

I'd hardly say it was dubcon seeing as the consent was very clearly NOT given and being as Game of Thrones is such a popular TV show it's kind of dangerous to give across the message "she's saying no but she really wants it".
