There's an ocean of difference between getting slapped for insolence versus getting raped (especially as a virgin).

Getting slapped around and stripped of clothing also doesn't hold a candle to the emotional anguish she's endured... seeing her father die, hearing about her younger brothers being burned alive, hearing about her mother and brother being betrayed by their own men. Even the indignity of having to marry The Imp isn't on the same level as a sting on the cheek.

> Did her character change or no?

We see that it did, with her scene with Myranda earlier in the episode. And even earlier, when she dressed all in black at the end of last season.

> They have not been consistent with her story

I actually feel they have been. But we'll need next episode to see how the "new" Sansa responds to this new trauma.

> Then we had to watch Theon cry about it.

Right, because he's experiencing a similar level of trauma as Sansa, just on the emotional level. And to be perfectly frank, I'd rather watch Theon cry about it than watch Ramsay have his way with Sansa.

> The only way to atone for this scene was for Sansa to be playing both those dudes the whole time.

Fair enough, but we have to wait and see till next week right?
