Sophie Turner recently told Flaunt Magazine as part of a cover story that “Game of Thrones” “actually did a lot of justice to women” despite the generation of constant assets during her race for having put her female characters through violent and / or sexually free scenes. Turner played on the eight seasons of the HBO series as Sansa Stark. She was at the center of one of the biggest controversies in the series when Sansa was raped suddenly during her wedding evening in season 5. Turner stands next to the horrible moment.
“I felt – and I always do – that” Game of Thrones “highlighted things that many people were like” Oh my God, you cannot show this kind of thing ” – and I understand that it can be triggered – I fully understand this point of view,” Turner told publication. “But I felt that we do a lot of justice to women and that the combat women had to fight for hundreds of thousands of years – the patriarchy, treated as objects and being constantly sexually assaulted – I do not think there is a woman I know who did not have a form.”
Turner said that men still don’t believe her when she says that almost all the women she met have experienced a form of harassment, “and it is because we do not [talk about] It’s quite – we get away from it.
“I think that if” Game of Thrones “was released today, we would certainly deserve trigger warnings there,” added Turner. “But I am really proud to have been part of” Game of Thrones “where they did not hesitate to show atrocities that arrived at women at the time. I am proud to have been part of the conversation. ”
Sansa Stark has endured a lot of physical and emotional violence in the hands of her sadistic husband, Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon). The controversial episode of season 5 “Unbowed, Upende, Unbroken” presented Sansa sexually assaulting Sansa after their marriage as a former childhood friend of Sansa, Theon, was forced to look. The scene aroused indignation because it was not a scenario that Sansa had in the books “Game of Thrones”. Scandalized viewers have accused the show of going too far with regard to violence against women.

She’s not to Blame for that… Sansa, Yes, Has Gone Through a Lot, but she’s developed somesi and Margaery and Others, and She’s Still Just as Strong… she could have ferght back [in the wedding night scene]. But she didn’t do it. She makes her intrigue in her mind rather than outside. »»
The producer of “Thrones”, Bryan Cogman, told EW at the time that he was held near the Night’s Night Assault scene, explaining: “This is” Game of Thrones “. She is not a shy little girl entering a wedding night with Joffrey.
