rpanons | You're all idiots except for me

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Excuse me, but what part of a popular female character being brutally raped is hilarious to you?

I don't care for the so called "book elitists" or those who are fans of the show if they see nothing wrong in the over usage of rape in this series. Whether it be Sansa Stark or Jelyne Poole who gets raped, I simply do not condone a writer ( a male one at that) over usage of sexual trauma to gain readers or get ratings. It's fucking sickening.

I believe GRRM is a complete asshole and his entire series is nothing more than a glorified rape and snuff film. With that being said, I do believe that audiences of this show need to stop supporting his bullshit and let it frizzle out.

You know, when you say 'with that being said', you should usually follow that up with something that contradicts what you were saying earlier. It's a way of setting aside a point you are conceding but feel is unimportant.

I've seen that phrase used both ways, and it makes sense both ways. Just because you haven't encountered a usage before doesn't mean it's incorrect.

I think it makes sense here, because there's an assumption (on here and other places) that people that aggressively hate on the show do so because they're such big fans of the books and vice versa (despite the fact that IIRC GRRM is directly involved in the show). It might be unintentional but still.

it's awfully big and complicated to be just a "glorified rape and snuff film", and I say that as someone whose only knowledge of it is through fandom osmosis

but the show writers definitely fucked up with this one
