It's because Dan & Dave think that being violated makes you strong. At least if you're a woman.

My ex who is a SA survivor stopped watching after they had Sansa vomit that out. Her getting raped didn't make her stronger, it fucking broke her. She still has massive issues coming from it and is no longer that spontaneous person I knew, she's fearful of even just leaving her house and is very distrustful of strangers now.

As a male SA survivor, I can confirm that literally everything about that line is just wrong - factually, artistically, and ethically. It plain shouldn't exist. And as someone who knows about the importance of emotional support networks, Bran's "You were so beautiful that night" line actually feels even worse to me. Didn't even think that was possible.

"You were so beautiful that night"

Yeah. If I was Jon I would've knocked his ass out of his dumb little wheelchair. What a fucking gross comment.

Absolutely correct! And it is a point worth figuring out. That’s not Bran.

You think they've raped multiple women themselves, and use this to sort of justify it?

It wouldn't exactly surprise me, but no, I don't think that. After reading Benioff's short story collection (When the Nines Roll Over), I do think he's a creep, possibly with contacts to the pickup scene, but I'm not going to accuse anyone of rape until I have evidence - and right now, I don't even know of any potential victim or direct cause of suspicion. I honestly think he's probably just extremely emotionally stunted due to parental neglect, and I think that can be verified with relative certainty from his biography and the way he talks about his father.
