This particular sexual violence seen in the Game of Thrones universe is considered typical for the fantasy genre. Indeed, in today’s context, these violent scenes have almost become a normalized and often gratuitous element in recent fantasy stories. It points out that sexual violence is frequently used in these fictional worlds, with graphic scenes of rape and assault becoming increasingly common (Peres, 2022). We can ask ourselves if the justification of such depictions in fantasy, emphasizes the historical accuracy or if it’s not just a valid excuse for these portrayals of sexual assault. It criticizes the use of sexual violence as a plot to move the story forward, often without proper exploration or discussion of its impact on the victims. One prime example of sexual violence against women in the fantasy genre is Game of Thrones with characters such as Daenerys or Sansa Stark. Rape becomes almost common with a high number of 34 rapes or attempted rapes throughout the show. The creators of the TV show defended themselves for certain scenes, judging them as necessary for the advancement of the storyline, however, some of them felt purely gratuitous by depicting nudity or violence to women (Peres, 2022).
