      Well most of that comes from the books, and the point of it in the books was “Wow, doesn’t this world SUCK? You sure wouldn’t wanna live here! It’s like all the fantasy you’re familiar with except EVERYTHING SUCKS ASS!”

      And in the show they really weren’t doing their best to play up the horror of sexual violence, it was kind of just used as an excuse to ogle actresses

      I have always perceived Game of Thrones to be socially acceptable porn, torture related or otherwise =) HBO has always had a rep for being edgy and pornographic tbf.
