Firstly, Camilla is a she. Secondly, though I won't speak for her, regarding the rape in the novels,

How is that a violent rape? At worst it would be statutory rape.

The wedding night is statutory. I would describe the later rapes as fairly violent.

I think that the Rhaegar and Lyanna stuff does look like rape in the first book

"Looks like" is this case meaning "explicitly stated to be that way"?

I think it messed it up by showing forced intercourse without the verbal consent Drogo DID obtain

I still find it difficult to read it as anything other than a coerced consent
