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”?

  • 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.

  • Mostly, though, people are just done.

  • REALLY DONE.

  • So very, very done.

  • Dunzo, for sure.

  • This fan was done before she even began.

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

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

  • 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.

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

  • 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.
