Yes, Craster's wives are raped in the books, but a) it is not shown and b) they do not spend months as sex slaves.

I do love Arya but in the end, I far, far prefer Sansa. I have always been a sucker for long, thematic character development so I enjoy her change from an idealistic child to a hostage with absolutely no agency of her own to (hopefully) a woman capable of wielding power and influence well enough to play the game…

I actually think your theory works even better with Petyr marrying Lysa before offing her. (No spoilers, just observations).

Yes, that's exactly how the world made her. Cersei's mother died giving birth to Tyrion. Tywin made it very, very clear that he blamed Tyrion for Joanna's death, even claiming that Tyrion murdered her. So yeah, her torturing Tyrion makes sense in that context. It's not justified, but it is understandable.

Yeah, discussing GOT on i09 can be painful.

She may be a terrible person but the world made her that way.

If I was in that situation, I don't think them explaining their reasons would make me less terrified of them. These guys are clearly whack jobs carrying weapons designed to kill me.

I'm not a gun owner nor do I come from a family or area where people actually own guns, unless its to hunt pheasants or some other WASP-y thing (ever seen The Philadelphia Story? I used to babysit for the family that lives in that house). But I have lived in the South for long enough (and dated enough good ole boys)…

I am totally with you on that. Back in high school, me and my friends delighted in being sarcastic and quirky and rebellious in a way that is honestly only rebellious if you happen to go to an orthodox Jewish high school (Luckily/Unluckily we did). And last year when I went to the wedding of two of my friends from…

Yep. At fourteen she could have ripped off all her clothes and given him a lap dance while Beyonce's Naughty Girl played in the background, she is not old enough to give legal consent.

I think you hit it on the head for me. Because whether or not she was an active participant, she was still fourteen. And he still knew she was fourteen. Fourteen year olds cannot consent to sex with adults. That's all there is to say. This guy is a judge. He went to law school. He's an educated man. And yet, he seemed…

Except that ugly prom dresses are still very much in existence. I work at a major mid-price shop and guess which prom dress sold out the quickest? The florescent yellow mullet dress. After that it was the florescent green dress with big ass rhinestones all over the bodice.

No, it totally was like that. And more so, as I mentioned in a previous comment, Mia is unbelievably immature. And I don't mean that like she is very immature. I mean she is immature to a level that is not to be believed. She's a sixteen year old girl who is cannot even say the word "sex." The entire series she refers…

Ugh, no. I finished the series probably the year I graduated high school or my freshman year at college, I honestly don't remember. But anyway, I found Mia's attitude towards sex to be awful. First of all, she's unbelievably immature, cannot even say (or write) the word "sex," is grossed out by penises and just acts…

You say I'm trying to justify sexual violence and allowing my vision to be clouded because I don't want to admit that there was something wrong in the first place because I like Game of Thrones. Are you fucking kidding me?

Why am I afraid you aren't kidding?

You act as though up to ten years ago no one wrote songs about sex.

Why can't an influential woman enjoy sex?

What is wrong with a woman giving a guy (particularly her husband) head in the back of their limo? Why are enjoying sex and being friends with Michelle Obama mutually exclusive? Did the stork bring Sasha and Malia?

You win everything
