A rape scene on TV's Game Of Thrones has been condemned by
critics including a US politician.
In a tweet, Missouri Democratic senator Claire McCaskill
described the episode's sexual assault as "gratuitous" and
"disgusting".
Other critics included the website The Mary Sue, which offers a
feminist view of pop culture. The website posted that it would
no longer promote the HBO series and said rape was not a device
to drive a story.
HBO declined to comment on the reaction to the episode that
debuted last Sunday.
The attack involved newly-married characters Sansa, played by
Sophie Turner, and Ramsay, portrayed by Iwan Rheon. Ramsay's
rape of Sansa was off-camera, suggested in her cries and the
distress on a bystander's face.
The scene differed from the work of George RR Martin, whose
novels are the basis of Game Of Thrones. In Martin's work, a
different character marries Ramsay and is sexually assaulted by
another man at Ramsay's direction.
Last season, HBO was blasted over another rape scene, involving
incestuous lovers, and the show's ongoing graphic violence also
has drawn criticism.
Despite the attacks, Game Of Thrones remains a steady hit in its
fifth season.

"The HBO series returned to a new series high on Sunday night,
averaging just a touch under 8 million viewers."
8 million ain't shit.
