Sansa is actually an appropriating shitlord so her rape was 103% OK

I'd love to see you test this theory out in person (from a safe distance), because not all Jamaicans are as cuddly as that Ursain Bolt fella.

Well, I don't think that post was trying to say her rape was ok...

But good lordy lord. A fantasy character adapting to moving to a different region in the same country that she was born in... drives our acceptance of cultural appropriation. :what:

On that note... I've never understood the surging anti-cultural appropriation movement. I understand not wanting people to appropriate things in an extremely offensive manner, but I hardly see absorbing each other's cultural traits or traditions to be inherently bad.

Anti-cultural appropriation almost seems like neo-segregationism to me. "Cultures should stay apart from one another."

Cultural appropriation can be handled correctly and respectfully, but in reality, it is often done thoughtlessly. Which is almost certainly what this was.

I mean, if you ignore the part where I talked about the mocking accent, that's definitely what I said, I guess.

I just realized Ramsay's probably gonna burn real good unless someone gets to him first.

Bastards can still get married though, and annulling might be actively worse than simply having her be a widow. Margaery has proved that being a widow doesn't really get in one's way at all.

Stannis could also probably start declaring all marriages (including his own) as invalid because they were done in the name of false gods. That'd be a hilarious mess.

Who is ready for Winterbowl this week? Hopefully it's not entirely on Jon talking to people and them not agreeing with him.

With any luck the opening shot of next episode will be the sand snakes heads on pikes

The prince is too chill a dude to kill his nieces like that. Which is too bad, since the lovely dagger one killed Bronn :(

Jon Snow is going north to spread the good word about eating ladies out, that's how he'll get them to follow him south

No, it's actually perfect. I'm told the character in the book is supposed to be a huge, hideous ogre. Casting him as super handsome is way better. It's disarming to have a conventionally handsome guy actually be psychopathically insane and utterly rotten inside...like a medieval Patrick Bateman.

Iwan Rheon could, by many accounts, play an absolute Prince Charming. Your Hollywood programming is to assume someone who looks that way is a good guy. It's what makes his "evil Jon Snow" thing work.
