11 Former ‘Game Of Thrones’ Fans Who Are ‘Done’ After Last Night

If you haven’t heard, “Game of Thrones” revealed a certain plot point last night (May 17) that has many fans of the show up in arms. And if you don’t want to be spoiled for the most recent episode, you should stop reading right here.

In short: Sansa Stark was raped by Ramsay Bolton on their wedding night, while Theon Greyjoy was forced to watch.

With “Game of Thrones” having already weathered its share of criticism for the way it treats its female characters, this moment was a bridge too far for an awful lot of viewers — and they weren’t afraid to say so.

Below, we round up the tweets of fans who are just about ready to break up with the fantasy series over its treatment of poor, sweet Sansa.

• Even before the bulk of the outrage poured in, there was a pretty much immediate consensus: What the hell, “Game of Thrones”?

  The ending of this week's #GameOfThrones episode was the most disgusting thing I've seen on TV. Gut-wrenching & heartbreaking #FreeSansa

• For some viewers, it wasn’t even just what happened to Sansa, but the repeated rapey liberties taken with the source material by the show ever since its first season.

  So that's THREE main female characters raped on #GameOfThrones who weren't actually raped in the books. I think I'm done with the show.

• Mostly, though, people are just done.

  I'm done watching #GameofThrones. Nothing like the books and there's way too many shock factor moments I can't stand.

• REALLY DONE.

  It turns out, Winter is no longer coming. Not into my Living Room, anyway. DONE.#Bye #GameOfThrones

  — Em. x. (@boombands) May 18, 2015

• So very, very done.

  Aaaaand just like that I'm done with #GameofThrones. Terrible, terrible, terrible. Over it.

• Dunzo, for sure.

• This fan was done before she even began.

  Starts #GoT catch up on the DVR…..scrolls thru tumblr……stops GoT DVR catch up….walks away from TV…..forever. #sansa

• This one is perhaps not done yet, but nearly, depending on what happens next.

  NEXT WEEK WHEN SANSA ANNOUNCES SHES PREGNANT IM OFFICIALLY DONE WITH THE SHOW #NOONEUNDERSTAAANDS #GAMEOFTHRONES

• This one may or may not be done, but certainly has some constructive criticism to offer the showrunners.

  #GoT's major flaw is a lazy reliance on Who Will Rape Sansa as a narrative engine. (Joffrey? Peasants? The Hound? Tyrion? Littlefinger? Etc)

  — Spencer Ackerman (@attackerman) May 18, 2015

• However, some viewers found the outrage outrageous in and of itself, suggesting that people who watch “Game of Thrones” should know what they’re getting into.

  Y'all are acting like this is the first time #GameOfThrones has done something appalling to a female character. NEWS FLASH. IT ISN'T.

  — Francesca Pastrana (@franniepack24) May 18, 2015

• And some are gonna watch anyway, despite the rage.

  @anabojecimeta They just hate Sansa. I don't know… Still gonna watch it even tho I sometimes have cringe/rage attacks.

  — Joan Culum (@imjoanthankyou) May 18, 2015

• And for at least one viewer, there’s still a way for this show to save Sansa’s storyline from making the show unwatchable. BUT WE SHALL SEE.

  #GoT prediction: Stannis rolls up on Winterfell ready to fight. Sansa opens the gates, tosses Bolton heads in snow. “Come on in,” she says.
