@AndreaGarVar @TheAVClub I don't think the sex scene was consensual in the book. The chapter was from Jaime's POV.

@BastienLaurent@TheAVClub very good point! I haven't read the books myself, but that's really important to point out that the POV is biased1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@AndreaGarVar@TheAVClub Yeah, also: "“No,” she said weakly when his lips moved down her neck, “not here. The sextons…”" No consent, no?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@BastienLaurent@TheAVClub But still plenty of problematic stuff in that scene, and definitely shouldn't be written off as "consensual"1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@BastienLaurent@TheAVClub With that said, this scene on TV was FAR more clearcut in its nonconsensual nature.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@BastienLaurent@TheAVClub But hm. I do wonder if the fact that the director made it more clearcut was actually better.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@BastienLaurent@TheAVClub And the books originally had 14-year-old Daenerys with a 30-year-old man, and it wasn't her conscious choice.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
@AndreaGarVar @TheAVClub the book is way worse than the show, yeah. Shae, for example, has 0 agency in the books
