@BoingBoing No they're not. Rape happened through all history, it's an historical fact, not just some gimmick used by writers.

@RobertoMon@BoingBoing GoT isn't history. the show has added more rape than was in books,for shock factor. Also, it's always a choice. -
@DoctorBadWolf@BoingBoing Yes, it's not history, but its depicting a medieval setting. -
@RobertoMon@BoingBoing fantasy, not medieval. -
@DoctorBadWolf@BoingBoing LOL.. of course, that's obvious. Medieval fantasy.. there were no dragons in the Middle Ages xD -
@RobertoMon@BoingBoing should also be obvious that social realities of Middle Ages needn't be plot devices in the show. -
@DoctorBadWolf@BoingBoing No, it's not "needed" but it adds a lil reality to the fantasy of the setting. -
@RobertoMon@BoingBoing bull. By that logic, it should have pox and the like. - 19 more replies
