Exactly! Arya is, in many ways, the stereotypical character (sometimes bordering on a trope) you find in the fantasy genre whereas Sansa is more rooted in reality. Not that it's anything against either of them - you need both types of characters sometimes. But when it comes down to it, I think a lot of people hate…

.

Me too! I am very defensive of Sansa and no one is ever on my side. I think Arya is amazing, but Arya is exceptional. Sansa is typical... she represents how most of us would react in her situation, I think. People forget that she's like... 13? When her father is killed, etc

I've said this in other comments, but I think Sansa gets so much hate because so many people like to believe they'd be Arya in any given situation, but in all likelihood they'd probably be Sansa instead. I find Sansa's storyline way more interesting as the series goes on, but I'm also more interested in political…

She's, also, you know, eleven years old when everything in the series happens. It's not entirely fair to expect her to act like an adult when she has every right to act like a clueless, scared little girl.

Yours doesn't? *shrug*

In the later books, Sansa's storyline becomes my favorite. To be honest, I kind of lose interest in Arya when she goes on her great adventure in the fourth and fifth books. I know I am greatly outnumbered by Arya fans though.

Thing is, I think Cersei can see it a bit which is why she regards Sansa as potentially dangerous to her position. Not as imminent as Margaery, but still.

The evolution of Sansa in the books is one of my favorite parts! She LEARNS. What she does in the next book is gonna be GREAT, I can feel it.

I wish my life came with a blood-pumping sound track.

I see the zombies are still coming.

My eyes and my brain have the BIGGEST erection right now...

Kanye criticism DOES have a tendency to get racist and condescending because white people.
Also, every time Kanye talks about racism people make a point of calling it a "rant".
Calling someone "crazy" all the time is quickest way to invalidate all their concerns.

Here's the thing. These kinds of moments are important because they really test us. I can separate my disdain for some of the things that Miller has said and done in his personal life from an incident like this which is clearly unprofessional and totally over the line. Just because I don't like him doesn't mean I…

THIS. I'm so not having it with people saying "I knew it, I totally knew it!!" like it's some kind of guessing game, or one can 'tell' by some stereotype of the way gay women act. I always kind of thought it was problematic, but maybe I'm wrong, idk.

Yup, yup yup yup. This, 100x.

Yes.

No. We live in a world where gay children get bullied and beat up and homophobia stalls people's careers (look at all the ridiculous talking heads on Michael Sam's draft potential for Exhibit A). Until the day when nobody truly cares, celebrities coming out is still a step forward for visibility and we're still going…

Gay people looking to get married don't care what religious-types think, except that they are the largest and most vocal segment of the population against same-sex marriage, which is about much more than "money or something". It's about normalization, it's about acceptance, it's about being equal before the the law.…

When you aren't allowed to see your family member in the hospital or make medical decisions on their behalf when they are comatose like everyone else based on the thousand year old scribblings of some old man scared of losing political power, it tends to be a little stupid.
