The showrunners consistently underestimated viewers, most egregiously making us endure a way-too-long scene of Joffrey Baratheon forcing two prostitutes to abuse each other when we already understand his character to be stupidly evil from plenty of earlier examples-like having the butcher's boy murdered in Season 1 or beating and humiliating Sansa in court in Season 2, Episode 4. The way in which several of King Joffrey's scenes were written were the worst part of this season. The only episode that passed the Bechdel Test this season includes a conversation between Shae and Sansa, who were playing a game to pass the time at the harbor. Sansa's story this season is intertwined with that of Shae, a clever and perceptive prostitute who becomes her handmaiden, protector, and friend.

Sansa, whose character arc serves as an inversion of the princess trope, consistently lives under the threat of rape (by Joffrey, The Hound, Littlefinger, etc). This is the first season in which we see rape in Westeros and how the writers weaponize its threat against viewers. While Season 2 has less than half the number of rapes as Season 1, all of the first season's incidences of rape were depicted as "cultural practices" of the "savage" Dothraki. Showrunners also double down an early theme of the show: living under the threat of sexual violence. Only one episode passed the Bechdel Test, and there were two instances of rape and attempted rape onscreen.
