Harington appears to understand the basics of sexism and has a passing awareness of feminist values. Unsurprisingly, female characters are featured in the bulk of Game of Thrones nude scenes as well. Tafkar’s total, 50 as of May 2015, is a conservative estimate. In fact, last year, a Tumblr user named Tafkar did an analysis of the instances of rape that have occurred in the show. The sexual assault of Sansa Stark last season, for example–a scene that departed from the book in an apparent attempt to garner a male character greater sympathy– was widely panned by feminist critics.ĭedicated viewers have noticed that violence against women, particularly of the sexual variety, is a constant presence in the show and often drives the narrative. Meanwhile, Game of Thrones has sparked widespread debate due to its constant objectification of female bodies, not to mention brutal rape scenes.
