I want to watch this show because it's willing to depict rape" is weird, I'm sorry.

GoT is a very weird show and the main purpose people watch it for its willingness to kill anyone is "weird" too.

You keep doing this thing where you respond to what I say ignoring what I was responding to. You just said "people wouldn't have thought slasher films were acceptable!" and I'm telling you they did

Now you're conflating mainstream and niche/cult interests. Normal people weren't fascinated by Jack the Ripper. The average person doesn't encourage their kids to read up on serial killers.
Back in the day even Rock music was unacceptable by moral guardians. Rape being unacceptable to be shown in media is in that same side of the coin. If we get down to it though I'm willing to bet the majority of people don't think rape is unacceptable in media. There's just a bigger vocal minority against it than murder. This topic is an example itself.

I'm not claiming it can't be done or that it hasn't been done well in the past. Just that in general it's weaker as a narrative element.

It's not weaker. It's just not done as much due to society's currently bigger aversion to it.

I'm just gonna tag SubtletyRefuge as "Enjoys Rape" and move on.


Lol ok 40 karma alt. Not that it matters much since you'll probably getting banned within the next year anyway. I've tagged you as low IQ torture advocate though.

Mythology is essentially the precursor to media, but I don't see how "if it was good thousands of years ago it's good now" is any kind of a worthwhile argument.


I'm not the one who brought up stuff from centuries ago.
