People don't like rape scenes. Why is that so hard to grasp?
Especially one that seems pointless.
Unless it is the thing the makes Theon finally turn on Ramsey, that scene was pointless.
It didn't advance the plot, it did add to character development. It just seemed there to shock people
You're not supposed to like the rape scenes. You're also not supposed to act like this isn't a @#$@$@ up world that the characters live in, where the few good people always get taken advantage of or killed.
Let's also not show dudes' heads being smashed in, horses being beheaded, homosexuals being mutilated, men being castrated for fun, people being skinned alive, slaves crucifying children, babies being stabbed and thrown into the ocean, pregnant women being stabbed 20x in the womb. Let's pretend like this is a modern, civilized society where these things are rare
