A lot of assumptions here. I’m not American; I’m not squeamish about sex (I literally write erotica); we did a consent questionnaire (and all veto’d rape); and there’s a huge difference between media like Game of Thrones and role playing games. The first is the work of one author, and viewers are an audience. The other is collaborative and you are part of the story, it is happening to you. Very different scenarios.

I don’t think we need to sexualize other players in D&D ever, but if that’s collectively agreed upon at your table, whatever. Consent is the important thing though, and this situation blew through boundaries left and right without it.
