And in the books Sansa gets raped by like 20 dudes when kings landing riots and the hound saved her afterwords lol. At least she only got raped by one dude.
I really don't know why they decided to put Sansa in Winterfell and have Ramsay rape her, it was ridiculous. She's had nothing but bad stuff inflicted on her constantly from the very beginning of this. Her brother gets crippled, Joffrey has her wolf executed because Arya kicked his ass, her Dad gets executed in front of her then Joffrey shows her his head, her brother gets murdered, mother murdered, she thinks bran and rickon have been murdered, Joffrey had her beaten and stripped all the time, she was humiliated at court all the time, she got married to Tyrion, she got blamed for Joffrey's death, her crazy ass aunt tried to throw her down the moon door, she has to deal with the retard sickly Robin, it was bad enough. But then the show inflicts creepy ass Littlefinger on her with his grooming and advances, and then she gets tossed to the worst people in the series to be raped. It just felt kind of... hollow and cheap. I've always felt her story was very slowly building up to be this epic retribution and revenge arc on everyone who hurt her, like Sansa is finally going to just stop simply surviving and start actively playing the game. The show kinda started to tease that with Littlefingers lessons then quickly just abandoned it by having her thrown away and raped and impregnated. Incoming extreme white-knight-romanticism I don't know man I was really hoping Sansa would get saved by a true knight or she'd realize the power in herself before it was too late, that's what she's always wanted, and then rise to power in Winterfell. It just seems like bad on top of bad on top of bad, which is pretty much GoT's thing ("If you think this story has a happy ending you haven't been paying attention" etc), but they had a chance to really switch it up and do something great with Sansa's arc. Even if she does eventually become powerful and takes down Littlefinger and everyone else it wont feel as powerful or as satisfying.
