I'm out on voyeurism rape scenes. That's just too much
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Okay seriously, i'm done with game of thrones.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

The gay stuff has been pretty PG if I remember correctly. Mostly kissing, no graphic sex.LiveFreeX said:
In a show with beheadings, cannibalism, rape and torture, and castration the "gay stuff" should be among the least objectionable things to someone.
As a status-seeking sh!tlib friend of the gays I say MOARRRRRR! Lezzies too while we're at it.
That rape scene with Sansa, Ramsay, and Reek was pretty uncomfortable, I never like watching rape, be it male or female, on screen.

Aye. I don't think that happened in the books, but we already know the producers want to take the canon in a different simplified direction. It just felt like a plot line to turn up the notch on ratings. We already know Ramsey's a twisted individual for what he has shown he's capable of doing with other women and Theon/Reek.FairShake said:

Do you know how I know your mind is still warped by feminism? This post right here.backbreaker said:
Why?
Because Sansa wasn't raped. Oh by all means, please get caught up in all the news storylines detailing this "horrific rape scene" and how the actors were just appalled by it and on and on.
Please stick with the facts here.
1. Sansa knew what she was doing. No one would force her to marry and if she did, Littlefinger would have heard about it and sh!t would have been taken care of.
2. Sansa wanted to be the Lady of Winterfell. Only one way now to make that happen. Gee I wonder what it was??!?
3. Since Sansa knew being Lady of Winterfell meant getting married, and it meant getting married to Ramsay, she also knew she'd have to give up the puss. After all, she'd be his WIFE
4. The law in Westeros states she's now his WIFE. Again, emphasis now on this word WIFE. Let's suppose Sansa did go crying to the king or whoever the hell that she was raped. What then? Suppose the king called Ramsay into trial with accusations of rape. Ramsay simply says "What law have I broken your grace? I was engaged in intimate relations with my WIFE"
5. And lastly we have Theon displaying shock and tears at watching this. Get real. Theon would have banged her if he had the chance. Yes, I have read the books. A much more accurate reaction would be Theon sitting quietly watching every detail.
The story of this show depicts sex that likely happened in a pretty realistic manner in this fictional story. The feminist PR reps are certainly out in force this week.
Also, agree that this season is so far pretty weak in general.

I think this is really stupid. All they did was make a Joffrey 2.0. We already had the pointlessly sadistic guy.
Also, Sansa wasn't raped. She married the guy then willingly did everything he asked in that scene. She's also a boring character that does nothing but say one liners every 3rd episode while having a sh1tty look on her face constantly. Anything involving her I'm just waiting for them to cut to almost any other storyline.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Luckily the law in the real world say that a wife can refuse and a husband can be charged with rape. And that is how the scene is judged. Pretty sure it is written as a rape.BetterCallSaul said:
That would be difficult.
In the books Theon is actually forced to participate though. It could've been worse.

Is this why you, BB and the rest of modern media is getting so bent out of shape over this? You can't separate fiction from reality. Let's also not forget that in the scene Sansa was undressing herself. Slowly, but she was undressing. The fact that Ramsay rips her clothes off and bends her over...who cares. If Sansa had finished stripping on her own she likely would have been moaning in the same manner she did during this supposed "rape" scene.
Sorry, but where is the rape here? There never was one.
Also, yes, I forgot Theon serves as the fluffer in the books, however Sansa wasn't there at all. :yes:
I use my real world values to judge the fiction I see. Which is healthier than the opposite.BetterCallSaul said:
I didn't get that impression at all. Nothing in the scene tells me Sansa was enjoying it. Indeed it is implied pretty obviously that Sansa is cooperating only due to Ramsay and his wench's veiled threats and that she is in pain and sad during the scene. Plus it's obvious that she's being forced to have sex in another man's presence, a man she loathes.
Dude, it's a forced sexual act, it's rape. Perhaps you are unable to separate your own reality from their fiction.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Other scenes aren't really being judged, like men being castrated or having their eyes gouged out in a gruesome death. This one scene is a non-issue.FairShake said:
Rape (which this scene wasn't) is not worse than death or torture and these things happen in every episode yet this causes all the commotion and it's not even on screen as it should be. It's nonsensical from the belly aching of those offended to the fact that they feel they can't have a rape on screen but can have grisly murders. I feel worse for the guy immolated and eaten the week before than I do any woman being raped. The perspective on things is all fvcked.
