There was way more rape in the books! She must not have read them in awhile. I was RELIEVED by the most controversial rape scene, because in the books it was far, far worse ( add in a second dude and a dog and some knife play, and you'll start to get an idea.) The show did us a favor!
Now for a ridiculously obsessive set of nerdy facts to back up my argument:
"
Rape acts in game of thrones TV series: 50
Rape victims in TV series: 29
Rape acts in ASOIAF the book series (to date): 214
Rape victims in ASOIAF (to date): 117
The books contain over 4 times as much rape as the show (and probably even more; the method of analysis likely underestimates the rape in the books…)"
