“The show is tamer… every main character gets raped”
That’s an accurate assessment for the book given I believe multiple main characters get raped multiple times in the book, right?

God I didn’t even want to bother including outlander in my list because practically every single character gets raped. Do it once, okay. Do it twice, a little odd, but whatever. Three times? Do you seriously have NO other ideas for how to make a character go through a tough time? And then she just makes the characters move on and forget it ever happened!

Not sure what girls on booktok daydreaming about being abused by Ryle from It Ends With Us has to do with incels but ok.
Also could have done without the condescension.
