Look, I've been on both sides (okay looking kid and now a pretty attractive adult). They each come with their own separate issues. The assumption that I am dumb, that I've come as far as I have at such a young age because of my looks, being targeted by men who only want a trophy, being constantly told that any…
The assumption that bullies only bully nerds is idiotic. Furthermore, I really just can't get behind this passive "if someone hits you, don't defend yourself nonsense". I'm all for notifying an adult, but plenty of kids do that and the abuse continues. Fighting back verbally (and only once, physically) was the only…
First Lupita and now Bey?! I love black excellence.
I don't know...I've never thought about that. Depending on the how the next book goes, *spoiler alert* she could be beheaded, so there's that.
For the record, I meant Aerys...not Aegon. I wrote that original post at like 9 in the morning.
Perhaps I should have clarified that I meant a highborn man. Plenty of awful things have happened to highborn male characters in this series because Westeros is at war. Women in the series are constantly under the threat of sexual violence. Yeah, shitty things happened to men before the War of the 5 kings, but those…
I feel so sorry for Porsha because she was immediatly embarrassed. She let Kenya push her to a place she didn't want to go. Kenya is so antagonizing and such a hypocrite. She can dish it, but can't take it. And when someone starts to serve her, she pulls out all these ridiculous props instead of being an adult and…
Yes, Show! Jaime did rape Cersei. I'm arguing that his actions were completely out of character and unnecessary. The scene in the book starts out sketchy, but ended in consensual sex. The scene in the show was rape. So no, Book! Jaime did not rape Cersei.
Um....I didn't write this article
I can't edit my OP, so I'll post this here:
If I lived in Westeros, I'd want to be a man too. He thanked the gods that he was not a woman because he understands how horrific is. I'm not saying that Jaime is a good person, only that he wouldn't rape anyone.
I know you probably don't mean it, but this sounds like you're saying it's okay for Jaime to have raped Cersei because she's a bad person:
Here's what I posted on i09 this morning:
I think Alex Graves is trying to do damage control. There's no way possible anyone could interpret that scene as consensual.
Didn't Paul Mooney say "Everyone wants to be a ni**a, but no one wants to be a ni**a"?
This comments section is chock full of that "I'm not like other girls" smugness
I just wish everyone could just do what they wanted with their faces without anyone trying to make it those choices a political issue. It'd be like that in a perfect world…*sigh*

I never said it was appropriate. I only wanted to point out that if you're going to criticize someone, then you need to have your facts straight.
