Game Of Thrones: 15 Moments That Pissed Off The Fans

14. Theon Loses His...Y'Know

The show devoted far more time than the book to Ramsay Snow’s torture of Theon back in Season 3, when the Greyjoy was on his way to becoming Reek.

We reached peak Reek in one of the most brutal and unconfortable scenes to witness (obviously it wasn’t actually seen, but we knew what was happening). The Ironborn is naked and tied up, when two women are brought in for no reason other than to arouse him. This allows Ramsay to cut off a particular part of his anatomy, a moment that even by this stage in Game of Thrones was rather horrific, and was one of the many moments that left some fans and critics wondering whether it had gone too far.
