Because Niggers need love too, I guess.

Besides, apparently a Eunuch nigger falling in love with a translator nigger is more appealing than Barristan the Based killing a bunch of Essosi soldiers. Better kill him off with sneaky mask-wearing people!

SJWs on twitter are livid but I kinda liked it.

Nick McIntyre · May 18, 2015, 01:57:18 AM

If you're engrossed enough in the universe and have a good understanding of how things work, it's really not that big of a deal.

Nick McIntyre · May 18, 2015, 02:06:35 AM

The Dorne scenes are boring as fuck though.

That was hard to watch. Even for me (which is why this series is so good).
Knew tumblr and twitter would lose their minds.

She married Ramsay. They had to consummate the union, and Ramsay forced Reek/Theon to watch while he raped Sansa.

In the books, Ramsay marries a different girl (who is being presented as a fake Arya Stark) and makes Reek "warm her up" by performing cunnilingus. She was like 13 and they were in extremely unsanitary conditions.

I think the books are fucking fantastic. The entire idea of things like this is that GRRM isn't going to sugarcoat the brutal realities of a medieval-low/middle fantasy setting. These guys, the Boltons, are notorious for being horrible and evil- this is deeply ingrained into Ramsay's character. He brutally tortures Theon and removes every aspect of his former identity. This is someone we're supposed to hate.

Well yeah but... At that point I'd be asking myself "why the hell am I subjecting myself to this?"

Because we're all convinced that there's a payoff.

Of course, people have enjoyed reading tragedies for millenia. Even if there isn't a payoff and the "good guys" don't "win," I will still have enjoyed reading ASOIAF because GRRM is extremely meticulous and the world he crafted feels so alive. I can get lost in those books/discussion forums of the books for hours on end

Why would you want to experience nothing but 'teletubbies' all the time. Fantasy allows you to explore the emotions that come from brutal circumstances. Rather than just happily ignore that part of reality like every other setting. Engrossing characters and plot are really the only reasons you need.
