Sansa's Rape (Thoughts & Opinions) – S5E6 – Continued
After reading some of the comments that followed my first post, I realize that I could have phrased my opinion slightly better.
To clarify, I think Sansa's "rape" was a horrific event that happened to one of our most beloved characters that we love or hate, depending on your view; and while I am upset as the next person that this atrocity happened in the world that Martin has created; but lets face facts it happens in the real world too, its a sad but true fact on our world.
When I said that some viewers were stupid, I meant it to those who began proclaiming that they would stop watching the show together as a result of Sansa's rape; and even to those who suggested that the writers were purposely were making Sansa a victim so that Theon could become the hero.
I understand that we enjoy the show so well, we tend to identify with the characters and even see them as real persons, sharing in their happiness and sadness...as a good show is supposed to do; but like real people, life can really be a bitch sometimes.
While we can't really determine what the writers were intending until the next episode airs and the ones follow thereafter; I think that the moment that this match was set in motion, we all kind of expected this outcome.
I guess what we really weren't expecting was that they would actually show it; but to be fair, we didn't really hear anything...but then our minds tend to run wild and make things worst than they are.
For now, of course I welcome your opinion on the matter. I would love to hear your own views, but as far as I can see this debate will continue until we see whether or not Sansa has allowed this atrocity to make her victim once more or a survivor.
