Shit...just hearing about what happened in the books....that would have been 100 times worse to see on the screen.
FFS people....no one said shit when Viserys basically sold Dany to Drogo for a ****ing army....and she was supposed to be what....14? Even the Red Wedding where they basically murdered a ****ing fetus on screen....was apparently no big deal.
But rape? SOUND THE ALARM! THIS SHOW HAS ****ING GONE TOO FAR!!!

There have been a ton of "insensitive to women" scenes that were extremely watered down... Notably:
1) Sansa in the Throne Room with Joffrey. In the books, Joffrey has two of the Kingsuard tear her dress off and beat the shit out of her in front of the entire court
2) Lady Stark when they get the raven from Lysa. In the book, she is so concerned/startled, she gets up and walks around her freezing bedroom, naked, in front of the maester
3) Brienne in the bathtub. In the book, Jamie spends a lot of time thinking/talking about her naked form and examining every inch of it. In the show, we get a flash of her butt as she stands up, proud
4) Several scenes with Daenerys/Khal Drogo (people think the shit they actually did was bad? Pssh).
