The Science of Shrunken Heads

Killing you would send your brother a message.

LOOK AT THIS, FANDOM. LOOK. AT. IT.

Forget what you think about Sansa (her worst crimes, of course, being naivety and being a girl in a patriarchy) and look at that situation.

That is a scared 13 year-old being stripped and beaten, publicly, in front of the entire court by her betrothed. No one is standing up to help her, they just let him point a crossbow at her and there is nothing she can do.

And you’re trying to justify this? If you see anything okay in this situation, you don’t deserve love and affection and I truly believe that there is something wrong with you as a human being.

Fuck. You.

Oh Christ, there’s this in the fandom? People who really think Sansa deserved to be beaten by men in armour on Joffrey’s whims? To be humiliated and kept imprisoned so that her brother doesn’t dare invade King’s Landing without putting her life in danger? To be friendless and all alone, without anyone she can trust? To be threatened with rape if/when she gets her period, and be forced into an abusive marriage with a sociopath and have his children?

And all because she was a naive little girl who still believed in chivalry and true love.  That’s why people can watch this/read the books and think it’s ‘justified.’
