The guys ripping on her had me in stitches:
“We now all know you don’t have plans for Valentine’s Day.”
“She has plans — look at her calendar. ‘February 14: Masturbate gloomily.’”
"Whoa, Peggy got flowers!"
"Didn't know her cat had that kind of money."

I'm getting really annoyed with this HBO Lean-In hard-on for danaerys. It's like she can do no wrong, and her smugness is really pissing me off. I used root for dany but now I hope she gets fucked over.
Don't worry. Not spoiling anything, but Dany is pretty much GRRM's Red Pill treatise on spoiled, over-privileged women (whether he intended it or not):
- Treated badly by her brother, yet hypocritically becomes more and more like him.
- Makes demands without giving anything back in turn.
- Wants to change the world but ends up fucking over every place she goes because she's too naive and doesn't understand how it works.
- Friendzones the men in her life who would lay down their lives and treat her well
- Gets blasted and used by alphas
Unless HBO changes her story to appeal to all the women who love "Khaleesi", it'll be fun to watch.

RE: Games Of Thrones : Season 4
Looks like the internet is raging about
*SPOILER ALERT*
Jaime raping Cersei.
Everyone was okay when the show was depicting murder, treachery, massacres, slavery, torture, child soldiers, incest, alcoholism, a woman giving birth to a demon, sacrificing newborns, burning people alive, hunting human beings for sport, Eddard being beheaded while his two daughters watch on in horror, children murdering children, robbery, prostitution, and pimping, but rape crosses a line? This is a guy who fucking threw a little boy out a window and has the nickname Kingslayer.
It's not rape culture, it's a guy raping his twin sister in a church in front of their dead incestborn son's corpse. It doesn't promote rape in anyway but show it as monstrous, and certainly doesn't make anyone think rape is in anyway okay.
Sorry for the rant, I needed to get this out of my system and I know the RVFers will feel me on this one.

RE: Games Of Thrones : Season 4
So Bojangles raised a shitstorm copying my comment.
http://groupthink.jezebel.com/the-three-...1567051388
Quote:This is pretty straight-forward. I've seen a variation of this comment EVERYWHERE online following the episode and people's reactions. I wrote a long reply back at my blog, but allow me to offer a shorter response here:
Fuck off with that. It's a silencing technique to say, "Stop yelling about rape as though it's worse than murder! Maybe it's the same, but you don't care about the murder of men, Feminazis!"
Now, I know for certain that when people do complain about the violence on the show, people like this also roll their eyes and say, "Ugh, that's what the show is all about. Don't like it? Don't watch." So at least they're somewhat consistent. But there's something about the way that they HATE people talking about the show's constant degradation of women in particular that's interesting.
I think they're forgetting that rape is what brought Daenerys on her current path, her objection to the rape of women who happened to be in the path of Khal Drogo set her on the path she's on today. And I didn't point out all the other stuff in an effort to say rape isn't terrible, rape is terrible, but it's right in there with all the other terrible things that happen in that show. Nitpicking one horrific moment out of dozens - the pregnant woman getting stabbed repeatedly in the stomach, a girl being hunted for sport, a baby boy being sacrificed in the woods, hell the episode in question also featured a village being massacred and eaten by cannibals, and shot a helpless drunken fool with a crossbow.
Let me be clear: Rape is about as awful a thing as you could do to a person, I wouldn't wish it on anybody, and would never encourage even the most pathetic of motherfuckers to commit. However, I will not deny that it happens in real life and is presented on TV, in this case in a manner that's showing it for how fucked up it is.
On another note: People are getting way too pissed off over a show they most likely pirated.
If you are going to impose your will on the world, you must have control over what you believe.

It was hinted in his speech with sansa, but if I had to speculate, he wants to destroy the feudal, lord system and replace it with a merit based society with no king and no ruling class.
He thrives on chaos and whatever his endgame is, he seems to do well when there is more war and strife going on in the country. If anyone stands to gain from an ice age and the seven kingdoms becoming overtaken by white walkers, he almost certainly will find a way to be in a better position than when he started when the dust settles.
As for sansa trumping him, if she were to truly learn from him, she would try to use him as a piece and manipulate him but not actually kill him. There are only 2 books left, doesn't really seem to be enough time for her to flip the script, especially with so much else going on.
