I understand what they're saying, but that doesn't change what I said. I feel it's something fantasy things should 100% leave out. Like how in those Viking and Medieval TV shows you have women being sexually exploited or abused. It just inherently pisses me off.
No, no, I hear ya. It's a... difficult subject to include as a plot device to say the very least. There's definitely valid arguments to be had if it even should be included at all, especially if it's not the main focus of a story (e.g. a character recovering from being sexually assaulted) but since this is, to a degree, still very much based in reality and they have somewhat touched on social issues before I'm personally willing to see how this plays out.
However, I can definitely unterstand if people can't or don't want to deal with anything as awful as this in their fiction, not matter how it's handled.
