"So you ARE calling her stupid because she won't conform to what men tell her to do."
that's a weird way to understand what he said, still… do you really believe that any disagreement from a woman's opinion, as long as they come from a man constitute misogyny?

there are only 2 possibilities, that she got caught by Tywin or that she stayed to volunteer the information to him, but it doesn't make sense that she would stay in King's Landing at her peril because she still loves Tyrion and then show up at his trial and condemn him to death

he took the best course of action possible. He tried to break up with Shae multiple times, when the situation wasn't dire, he tried to get her out of the castle so she would be safe. She never listened, he only broke up with her in order to save them both. If your ex has told you about a dangerous situation that…

"is my automatic assumption that she is doing this out of coercion"
but TV doesn't work that way, the audience can only reasonably especulate about what the show has put forward. The only tenuous at best evidence that she's being coerced is that she involved Sansa. I'm sure if the writers want to soften up the blow…

"But to blame the character with the least power and agency"

in private, yes. On a court of law so you can get executed? not so much

he was probably insecure about the reason why Shae was with him, without his family name (which he hates but profits from) he has zero advantages in comparison to any man on Essos, thus less of a catch for Shae. He was afraid she would leave him. It turns out his suspicions were right on from the start.

it would read as proof that shit just got real and she needs to bail for everyone's sake.

but that's unrelated to her position right now considering anybody could have avoided it given the opportunities Shae was given to escape. There was no expectation of loyalty with Varys but there was one (a big one) with Shae

Varys is looking out for the common man, Shae isn't even protecting anyone, she's just actively trying to hurt Tyrion. How is doing harm any more righteous than preventing it?

the producers as far as I'm concerned are big time sexists, but even then that wouldn't play a part here

are you being sarcastic?

so because it was real in her mind then she's justified to send him to his death? People have been explaining this over and over, it's not about gender, it's got absolutely nothing to do with it. Reverse the character's gender, did anything change? If Lancel throws Cersei under the bus in a later episode, do you think…

it's been only months perhaps a little over a year since he met her

there's a specific niche of acting she does which she truly excels at…

yeah, seems the inflation rate would skyrocket within a few years, or at least that gold would lose enough value for people to barter instead.

holy shit, the ride never ends.

she wasn't powerless, she could have escaped Westeros multiple times

her retaliation is murder. Had it been throwing his clothes in bleach or slashing the carriage's tires or whatever, that's fine. Murder on account of having hurt feelings over a break up is beyond psychotic.

the show would have at least hinted at this if it were true.
