I don't think the show is letting the women down. Sansa is as strong as ever. I did think about it when she said that what didn't kill her, had made her stronger. But while it's a dangerous path of thought for the show to take, I do believe irl it's the best way to move past bad times, no matter what gender you are.

Arya killed the Night King, revenged the Red Wedding, got the man she was attracted to on her own terms, and then turned him down, because they wanted different things. Now she does whatever she wants.

Brienne was sad and cried when Jaime left. Perhaps they could have avoided that? But I don't think it makes her any weaker. She's still doing her thing, in protecting Sansa. She's even a knight now, which I think meant something to her. She has fought well. Hearbreak can be hard to take, but who knows what is next for her?

Daenarys and Cersei being the main villains is not negative towards women in any way, it's the opposite. They are strong characters and powerful individuals.

Lady Mormont died a hero, killed a dead giant.

Melisandre was vital, and died on her own terms.

Missandei was loyal to the end.

Yara has taken the Iron Islands.

You guys clearly haven’t seen the articles complaining about the one woman of colour in the series, being in chains.

This shit is so tiresome and counterproductive.

That feels more like a racism accusation, than an anti-female one. But I don't think the show is racist either. That's another discussion though. The worst part of that is probably the Daenarys as a white saviour in the east. But the show having mostly white characters in Westeros is logical, with the source material and what Martin was inspired by.

Umm... pretty sure that’s the corporate mission statement of Twitter.


But anyway, two tv episodes left until all of pop culture has run its course.

I’m reading comments since the announcement of the next three Star Wars films and all along the lines of ‘female lead, diverse cast, banging you over the head with sjw agenda’ (paraphrasing)

There’s definitely two ‘factions’ out there and shouting and reacting aggressively.

More and more believe as per the earlier conversation about online discourse, it’s online discourse in all western spheres of culture, being attacked and maligned by foreign forces.

Ugh, why would they be so close to the walls? They cannot see behind them and they know there is wildfire in Kings Landing.

But seriously, what are we even doing in here then?

If you don't even remember it, lets just shake hands and coexist like we always did before.

I just assumed we've been feuding -- or rather that you'd been feuding me -- since January and we would still be feuding until you called it off.

But I'm be totally happy just to ... you know... not.

Feuds are stupid.
