" You claim her torture is "redundant" but this is the first time Sansa was actually *physically* brutalized... the show pointed out that fact when Sansa said Tyrion was "gentle" to her."

Sansa was beaten repeatedly by Joffrey's knights. She was hit in the face and stripped of her clothing and mauled and almost raped by a mob. Not to mention having Littlefinger and now Ramsay grabbing her by the face and kissing her on the mouth. She's been abused by creeps since the second season and we're still going through this bullshit. Did her character change or no? They have not been consistent with her story. The scene was upsetting enough. Then we had to watch Theon cry about it. The only way to atone for this scene was for Sansa to be playing both those dudes the whole time.
