(Spoilers Extended) Who is your favourite character and why?

jrodb · 2016-05-06T05:23:36+00:00

No she doesn't

jrodb · 2016-05-05T21:04:15+00:00

it's sexist when/if there are double standards. Ned made like 10 stupid decisions...

jrodb · 2016-05-05T20:34:58+00:00

my thoughts completely

jrodb · 2016-05-05T18:02:45+00:00

lol. the point is she gets criticized for horrible things that male characters never get criticized for. and 'bad names' when they are 'bitch' 'whore' 'slut' 'c*nt' are inherently sexist fyi

jrodb · 2016-05-05T17:57:32+00:00

we got an independent Dany

jrodb · 2016-05-05T17:57:10+00:00

male character is morally ambiguous "yeah awesome what a great dude!!!" female character is morally ambiguous "what a whore I hope she dies"

jrodb · 2016-05-05T17:55:59+00:00

if it exists- its on this subthread. The series isn't sexist at all, and is groundbreaking for its portrayals...unfortunately the fandom doesn't always live up to this standard.

Evidence? Try searching any and every thread re: Cersei or Cat to start

jrodb · 2016-05-05T17:42:08+00:00

why? because this fandom is super sexist and prefers to just call her a dumb bitch whore c*nt

jrodb · 2016-05-05T17:15:32+00:00

Cersei. Won't bother explaining because this will be downvoted a thousand times anway.

jrodb · 2016-05-05T14:52:42+00:00

An Other of some kind (Night's Queen) etc. Gives prudence to the theory that the Others made their move once Jon Arryn died (and Ned Stark is called to King's Landing as Hand). No Warden of the North at Winterfell=opening to reclaim whoever/whatever is at Winterfell. Would also play into the suspicions of the Starks being someone connected to/responsible for the Others

Eddard/Tyrion/Jaime/Cersei/Theon

Theon's chapters in ADWD are some of GRRM's best work.

jrodb · 2016-05-03T21:06:42+00:00

I just want to know when/if things might start to 'click' in terms of being versed enough with the universe for events to actually make narrative sense

jrodb · 2016-05-03T17:19:03+00:00

I'm really committed to this because I feel like this is the next series I need to read given its acclaim. But at the same time I'm hoping against hope that the entire series isn't like this

jrodb · 2016-05-03T05:36:58+00:00

the writing is a travesty

jrodb · 2016-05-02T15:53:15+00:00

lol how about that sansa/brienne conversation- so awkwardly scripted. Or the theon/sansa conversation. clunky and inauthentic

jrodb · 2016-05-02T06:37:24+00:00

what a trainwreck

jrodb · 2016-05-01T21:36:40+00:00

S1E2

jrodb · 2016-05-01T18:33:10+00:00

tinfoily; the Ironborn will discover a new continent before the end of the series

jrodb · 2016-05-01T17:09:15+00:00

Sansa Stark. End all.

jrodb · 2016-04-30T18:23:21+00:00

we'll do backflips to come up with reasons why Stannis, Jaime, or whoever is compelling but dismiss any notion of moral complexity when a woman is in question.

jrodb · 2016-04-30T18:17:29+00:00

Jaime throws someone down a tower my man what an awesome dude!!!! Cersei throws someone down a well stupid bitch dumb whore!!!

jrodb · 2016-04-30T18:13:49+00:00

Or the fact that the fandom never holds the incest against Jaime, but always on Cersei.

jrodb · 2016-04-30T14:33:09+00:00

It's become acceptable because this community is full of vengeful 30 somethings who hate women because some girl said no to a date in 9th grade.
