Yeah... I, too, was called a "wet blanket" by the person who recommended ASoIAF to me after I read the first book and decided not to continue the series or watch the show... All the same arguments that are listed here ("It was accurate for the time," "It's a crapsack world for everyone," "Yeah there's rape but it's never shown as a good thing") were presented to me but, goddamnit, I don't care. This is not the series for me. I figured that out the moment they threw a small child out a window. Yeah, you can shed a negative light on child-murder all you'd like, and you can put it in the context of a crapsack world where that kind of thing is commonplace, I still don't care. I don't want to read it and so don't call me a "wet blanket" for avoiding it or continuously try to show me what makes the rest of the series so awesome. Have your fun, but I really don't want to play.

Anyway, I personally don't know how much the rest of the series trivializes rape (like I said, I only read the first book) but it doesn't surprise me. I found it really awkward how Dany's sexual relationship with her husband was handled.... It was like the author was trying to say, "It's rape until she starts to like it." WTF. So yeah, this series is not for me. You're not alone, OP.
