Ehhh, did you watch yesterday's episode? That rape scene in there was totally consensual in the book. Same with Dany and Khal Drogo's wedding night. The show also invented that part back in the riot of season 2 where Sansa almost gets gang-raped. There are other examples too. The book series does have the threat of rape in there but the show runners fucking RAN with it and there's rarely any fucking narrative reason at all

soooo yeah, you can prefer the show if you like, but you're actually favouring the version of the story with more gratuitous rape in it

Well, to be fair, what happens in place of Sansa nearly getting raped is Lollys actually get gangraped by 150 men in the books. And Drogo raped Dany every night after the wedding night IIRC, to the point where she was in agony and considered suicide.

Though, since Sansa never faces near rape during that riot in the books, and since Lollys doesn't exist on the show, that entire made up almost-rape scene was fucking unnecessary and gross. At least the books never get descriptive with rape (usually only mentioning it), whereas the show seems to revel in graphic sexual violence.

The Hound did say he saved her life in that riot...

GRRM said that if he was able to rewrite the scene, he'd make it clear that it was /not/ consensual, and that the show got it right in what he had had in mind, so...
