that's the other thing, people are trying to excuse what happened based on how much cersei sucks, or the fact that she's a malicious bitch somehow means that she, of all people, should've found a way to get out of that situation.
i've had/seen some insane arguments regarding this scene online. again it's almost all men and they seem to flatout refuse to believe this is a rape scene based on the fact she wasn't clawing his eyes out or kicking him the balls (those are literally examples that were given as to why it -wasn't- rape) so i don't think it's solely character investment. i -do- think that for people who have read the books, that yeah there was bias going into the scene that it was consensual (if slightly cloudy at first) but all of the excuses i've seen for why it -wasn't- rape have made my skin crawl.
