‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘Orange is the New Black’ Tackle Rape — Who Got it Right?

Warning: spoilers for both Orange is the New Black and Game of Thrones follow…

Both Orange is the New Black and Game of Thrones featured central characters dealing with the trauma of rape, with very distinct outcomes.

Here, Roth Cornet, Miri Jedeikin, and Alicia Malone tackle the two very vastly divergent ways that the two series tackled the sensitive topic and what the impact is on media and in the culture at large.
