That makes sense snoopcester Send a noteboard - 19/08/2012 02:35:36 PM
Yes. I think my problem is that when someone says "based on War of Roses", I look for that in the plot, where it is not.


I can see elements of it in the plot as well but it is very chopped up.

Firstly, Camilla is a she. Secondly, though I won't speak for her, regarding the rape in the novels, Ghavrel - 14/08/2012 02:23:19 AM 2869 Views
When does he use rape in an erotic manner? A Deathwatch Guard - 14/08/2012 05:48:59 AM 2700 Views

How is that a violent rape? At worst it would be statutory rape. Cannoli - 17/08/2012 11:53:44 AM 2884 Views
The wedding night is statutory. I would describe the later rapes as fairly violent. Camilla - 17/08/2012 12:13:26 PM 2986 Views
That was her only sex scene, until she induces him to have outdoor sex to get pregnant Cannoli - 17/08/2012 07:20:09 PM 2761 Views
It is not necessary to provide a scene Camilla - 17/08/2012 10:49:20 PM 2794 Views
I believe that what is happening here is called confirmation bias *NM* Kotagg - 21/08/2012 06:23:38 PM 1522 Views

I think you misread one part Dark Knight - 14/08/2012 04:51:34 PM 2907 Views
I think that the Rhaegar and Lyanna stuff does look like rape in the first book Stephen - 14/08/2012 08:10:27 PM 2678 Views
"Looks like" is this case meaning "explicitly stated to be that way"? Cannoli - 17/08/2012 11:56:48 AM 2682 Views

I think the TV series handles the problematic Dany/Drogo relationship better Werthead - 17/08/2012 12:20:16 AM 2813 Views
Re: I think the TV series handles the problematic Dany/Drogo relationship better Camilla - 17/08/2012 06:40:12 AM 2875 Views
I think it messed it up by showing forced intercourse without the verbal consent Drogo DID obtain Cannoli - 17/08/2012 12:07:14 PM 2865 Views
I still find it difficult to read it as anything other than a coerced consent Stephen - 17/08/2012 01:08:15 PM 2608 Views
A perpetrator-less crime then. Cannoli - 17/08/2012 07:26:26 PM 2763 Views

Perhaps if reading other people's views makes you so angry, you should avoid reading them? *NM* snoopcester - 19/08/2012 02:37:03 PM 1444 Views

Don't lock it! Dan - 21/08/2012 05:11:34 AM 1473 Views
Yes, I'm aware, or I might have locked it already. Legolas - 21/08/2012 06:17:29 PM 1341 Views
I'd ask that you do lock it. Stephen - 21/08/2012 10:00:48 PM 1417 Views
