the show runners saw this comment and tried to make some changes. Unfortunately, for some strange reason the number of rapes has doubled.

This show is bananas. A very significant percentage of the main cast has been raped. Women get raped, men get raped, children get raped, it happens several times each season. I stopped following the show because at some point it's just too much, and apparently I missed a huge gang rape scene in the Season 5 finale? Thank god.

Honestly the first season was borderline torture porn for a solid chunk of it, it actually cleared up quite a bit after that - which is really saying something because again, still a surprisingly large amount of rape.

Well at least the rape is inclusive, I guess. ^s/

The season 5 finale gave me an honest to goodness panic attack. I can’t bring myself to watch season 6.

Now every character will be gang raped because one rapist wasn't enough.

Thank you.

I watch, or watched that show with my wife and I couldn’t handle how every second or third episode somebody had to have something absolutely horrifying happen to them and be powerless to stop it. And how is it almost always rape? That show is like a nonstop trigger warning.

Is the rape coming from the books or are the show runners adding it in to spice things up?

It's coming from the books. At least the first couple seasons.

I’m glad this is a reaction I’m seeing to this show - we can never get through a rewatch because of how the misery outweighs the joy by a huge factor. For an adventure romance it’s mostly about trauma, rape, and murder and I think the showrunners might be a bit psychopathic.

They're not even creating it. It's all in the source material.

Out of the 7 main character 5 were raped. The other 2 didn't get off easy though, one grew up with a physically abusive father and the other one was severally beaten up and sold into slavery for a brief time.

I watched the first season and had the same thought. I guess it’s still going on huh?
