9. Jaime R*ped Cersei

In one of the most debated scenes, Jaime and Cersei engage in dangerous, incestuous intimacy while leaning on a table that holds their son's body. That should be surprising enough on its own. Nevertheless, a lot of viewers perceived the scene as Jaime directly forcing Cersei to have s*x. This is a common misunderstanding, and the specific scene made many people who read the book doubt themselves. Because of the vague writing and unclear guidance, it's obvious why the scene has been widely seen as a classic example of r*pe. However, even though the show's scene implies something different, the book clearly states that both parties ultimately agreed to the act. While she initially refuses, it is mainly because of the place rather than the action itself.
