Game of Thrones has caused almost as much controversy in just five seasons as South Park did in 18; there hasn’t been a subject too taboo or gory to touch on.
*Spoilers for all seasons of Game of Thrones ahead*What seemed from the initial trailers like a Lord of the Rings-esque medieval drama, the show quickly turned into a blood-splattered, rape-filled, incestuous affair - and that’s just in the first episode.
While for many it was too much, for many more it was only the beginning of an on-going obsession that would only grow bigger. By the beginning of the fifth season, over 18 million people across the world had downloaded leaked episodes of the HBO series.
From gruesome torture scenes to the Red Wedding, we’ve compiled a list of the 10 most controversial moments to have aired on the show so far. Enjoy?
1. Sansa/Ramsey rape scene - Season 5, Episode 6
Fans were outraged as the episode ended with Sansa Stark being brutally raped by her new husband, Ramsey, while a terrified Theon/Reek watched on. Fans on Twitter were not happy but the actress herself, Sophie Turner, apparently "loved it".
