Sophie Turner defends the Sansa rape of Game of Thrones
Sophie Turner recently told Display magazine As part of a cover story that “Game of Thrones” “actually did a lot of justice to women”, despite generating constant recoil during his run to bring his female characters through violent and/or sexual free scenes. Turner played in all eight seasons of the HBO series as Sansa Stark. She was in the center of one of the biggest controversies of the show when Sansa was brutally raped during her wedding night in season 5. Turner is at the horrible moment.
“I felt – and still to do – that ‘Game of Thrones’ seemed a slight on things that many people were like ‘Oh God, you cannot show things like that’ – and I understand that it can be activated – I understand that position completely, Turner told the publication. “But I had the feeling that we actually did a lot of justice to women and the combat women had to fight hundreds of thousands of years – the patriarchy, are treated as objects and constantly sexually abused – I don’t think there is one woman I know who has had no form of.”
Turner said that men still don’t believe her when she says that almost all the women she has met has experienced a form of intimidation, “and that’s because we don’t [talk about] It’s enough – we shy away from it. “
“I think if ‘Game of Thrones’ came out today, we would definitely give a little trigger -warnings,” Turner added. “But I am really proud that I was part of ‘Game of Thrones’, where they did not shy away from showing atrocities that came across with women at the time. I am proud to be part of the conversation.”
Sansa Stark has endured a lot of physical and emotional violence by her sadistic husband, Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon). The controversial season 5 -episode “Unbowed, UNBIG, Unbroken” contained Ramsay that Sansa sexually abused after their marriage as a former childhood friend of Sansa, Theon, was forced to view. The scene led to indignation because it was not a storyline that Sansa had in the books “Game of Thrones”. Werdoed viewers accused the show of overboard when it came to depicting violence against women.
Tuner addressed the female violence of the show While he is in comic-con In 2015, saying: “The only thing Sansa is still, despite what happened to her is strong. She is not the culprit … Sansa, yes, has experienced a lot, but she has developed some skills of Cersei and Margaery and others, and she is still just as strong … She could have fought back … [in the wedding night scene]. But she didn’t. She puts her in mind instead of appearance. ‘
“Thrones” producer Bryan Cogman told EW The moment he stood at the wedding night -standing scene and explained: ‘This is’ Game of Thrones’. This is not a timid little girl who walks into a wedding night with Joffrey.
“We made the decision not to avoid what would happen realistically on that wedding night with these two characters, and the reality of the situation, and the reality of this specific world,” he added.
