Khal Drogo Did Not Rape Daenerys Targaryen

Dropped Points?1 through 3 are not points I dropped. In both rounds I have argued and supported that the marriage was not agreed upon, that their agreement upon ultimate goals does not constitute agreement on specific strategies and that the mere existence of other cities does not constitute freedom to choose any as a place to live in freedom.4 and 5 do not reference any points I dropped but are instead bare assertions made by my opponent. I do not know why he says I dropped points here, except to give the impression that I have conceded to his argument. I haven't. I've shown where and how she was forced and coerced into the marriage.Other Points:"In scene #2 ... There was no coercion from Vis in this scene."Daenerys voices no arguments. She simply says she does not want to be Khal Drogo's queen - she does not want to get married to him. She simply wants to go home, but does not know how to get there. Viserys argues his point, but Daenerys' lack of rebuttal does not constitute consent or agreement. There is nothing in this scene, or any other scene between now and the marriage/consummation that suggests she was convinced to change her mind.The coercion is obvious. Viserys berates her by saying that it could go much worse for her if that is what it took. The implication clearly being that she should stop voicing objections and be satisfied with what she is getting. Her response is a blank stare followed by an aversion of eyes. This is consent to you?The Chess Analogy:"It proves that Dany consented to the marriage, and was not forced into it."The chess analogy depends on the existence of players who have agreed to play the game according to the rules. Daenerys never agreed to anything. My opponent can't show she agreed to anything. Daenerys has the vague and abstract desire to go "home." This does not, in itself, translate to a specific desire to go home in a certain manner, nor does it translate into an agreement or consent to any specific strategy for going home.Daenerys View on marriage:I fail to see how this is relevant to the question at hand. Daenrys is talking about consensual marriage, which does not apply in her case because she never consented.Pro's "perspective:""1) In scene #1, Vis threatened Dany about looking good the day they were to meet Khal Drogo"Yes, he threatened her within the context of getting Khal Drogo to agree to marry her."2) In scene #2, there were no threats at all.. This is the only relevant scene from CON in regards to consent to marriage."My opponent continues to play off the last line as some fantasy of Viserys. It is not. It is a window into his mind with regards to the worth of his sister. It is a threat about how bad things could get for his sister should Viserys choose to make it worse.It is not merely the only scene from me, it is the only scene in the show, prior to the marriage, that addresses the consent to the marriage and Daenerys expresses non-consent. Clearly. Explicitly. Unequivocally. It is now upon my opponent to demonstrate where and when and how this changed."3) In scene #3... This is a threat, but not relevant as to whether or not she was coerced into the marriage."This is a misrepresentation. There is no "after already agreeing to the marriage." My opponent keeps asserting the existence of this agreement. SHOW IT. My opponent agrees that this is a threat, a threat to ensure that Daenerys sleeps with Khal Drogo, something he knows she doesn't want to do, because she said so. It is not relevant to her coercion to the marriage (since they are married at that point) but it is still relevant as to whether the sex act was consensual or performed under duress and is rape."[S]he still speaks her mind when she wants to."She speaks her mind - once - and is threatened into silence for it.Minor Points:"1) CON needs to prove that "Viserys clearly is domineering and controlling..."I have proved this. It is evident in his demeanor and way of speaking to and about her. Without asking, he strips her naked and fondles her. Without provocation he threatens her. He explicitly talks of her as merely a bargaining trip with which he has purchased an army. Consider his words "I would let his whole tribe f*ck you..." In other words, he has control over who Daenerys sleeps with. Him. Not her.Daenerys spoke her mind and he threatened her with gang rape. Later he would actually strike her for speaking out against him. The threat to "wake the dragon" only makes sense if you understand what it means, which is a clear indication she has "woken" it before. She knew what it meant."2) ...it is through sex that brought [Daenerys and Drogo] closer together. See the difference?"Much later. The existence of consensual sex does not negate the existence of non-consensual sex. The fact that Daenerys would later willingly sleep with Drogo does not make their first encounter consensual and not rape. That kind of logic is horridly misogynistic."3) One other thing to remember is that Vis and Dany are Targaryens...given their traditions, they were most likely to marry each other..."There is no indication in the show that she ever expected to marry Viserys. This is hereby dismissed.Pro's Conclusion:"CON has staked everything upon Dany being a slave robbed of free will."Wrong. I have staked everything about the fact that Daenerys clearly expressed non-consent to the marriage and was repeatedly threatened into marrying and having sex with Drogo.In contrast, my opponent has staked everything on this imaginary agreement to the marriage, arguing that consensual consummation naturally follows.My opponent needs to show some scene, some piece of dialogue that demonstrates this agreement.He can't and he won't. He is hoping that readers will interpret Daenerys stunned silence to her brother's admission will somehow be interpreted as her being convinced of his "argument." To my opponent, this is consent:
