Sanderson is the best. Hands down

Exactly. Violent misogyny is still violent misogyny even if the person it is directed at is not a good person. It doesn’t make it okay.

This has converted me, I am now a meninist.

*Urp* Oh, sorry, nevermind. Guess it was just gas

This particular move (toning the sex violence down for the 6th season) seems a weird decision to me - too little too late. People who had issue with it jumped the ship a long time ago and they are not coming back. The others hardly care. Personally I put the first book down 1/3 in because I couldn’t stomach all the…

Men’s razors are better anyway. Mach 3 or bust.

The U.S. Olympic Trolling Judges award your performance a negative 10 points. A novice effort so lazy and unoriginal it doesn’t even rate an eyeroll.

Shhhhhhh don’t talk so loud. (Strained giggling whisper) she can HEAR you, the witch can always hear you.

I’m with you completely. I doubt they’re tempering the violence based on twitter. All of these weird-ass people championing the writers rapey decisions... I have a right to stop watching a show that has gotten terrible for me to watch as a woman and the writers can panic when they realize that they’ve lost a huge…

.... Jesus? Is that you?

I read all the books and used to live tweet the show every Sunday. I stopped watching last season - and I’m a huge fan! However, the gratuitous sexual violence in most episodes just completely turned me off.

“(One other option: MEAT PLATE. Just buy a shitload of salami and mortadella and tastefully arrange it on a plate or cutting board and tell everyone it’s CHARCUTERIE, as if you’re some artisan butcher who personally cut up a pig for the occasion.)“

Exactly—the problem is not that they’re depicting rape that’s “too realistic.” The problem is that they’re depicting rape in highly unrealistic ways by not exploring the effect those rapes have on their victims. The show is very good at exploring how its world’s non-sexual violence shapes it’s characters (off the top…

Ding ding ding. I know many people on the internet don’t want to believe it, but they did lose some long time fans last year and not just because of the sexual violence but because the season was a flat (whether people like to admit it or not).

I’m very jealous that you can look at her hairstyle and think its easy to maintain!! You should go for it and I, curly hair frizz ball, can live through you!

I totally wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case. Because, really, it wasn’t just Sansa who was silenced last season — most of the (remaining) women characters lost their agency. By the time Princess Shireen was burnt at the stake, I was like, “this show is not meant for women or anyone who grows up to be a…

Not to be confused with:

Yes, I thought that the Sansa Rape was plausible and actually the least objectionable rape the show ever depicted, if that can be a thing. The Craster’s Keep scenes of the previous season still make me angry though. What it seems to me though is that this is a show with lots of sexual violence written by people with…

It’s all cheap thrills, like the murders and other brutality.

Oh man, cue the outrage from fanboys who mobbed me the other day when I was trying to explain why the rape scenes in GoT were objectionable to many (including me).
