Welcome to Reddit,

Jon deciding to starve all of his men, without any of their consent, in a year for some wildlings who have neither agreed to help out or join the Watch is pretty evil IMO. His men already have terrible lives, and now they're being forced to give up their food for those who are providing no benefit to them, after they themselves likely hate them already. And yes, this is long before Jon ever had the loan. He had no possible way to replace the food he was giving away yet was doing so. He left Ned for dead, and he was willing to kill his own brother so that he could take the throne.

Also when did Tyrion rape a servant? He rapes the slave prostitute "the sunset girl" in Selhorys. She doesn't physically resist him, but he knows that she is a slave who can't deny him and that she is repulsed by him. Yep also Tyrion threaten's to rape and strangle bed slave sent by Illyrio to him in his manse after seing her being disgusted by him or being reminded of Shae but he doesn't do it. She doesn't resist him but he sees the scars on her back and dead stare, he pukes or carpet after the act. He has enough brain to figure out her horrible life story forced slavery, beaten to submission, ptsd but still uses her anyway.

Tyrion is also Westerosi and slavery there is crime and also he knows enough that it's ethically wrong for many reasons. I won't deny that Renly doesn't care about succession laws, but to be fair, before he left Ned, he had offered Ned his support and he had warned him if they didn't act now, they would probably end up dead. As opposed to Stannis, who actually did kill Renly to help take the throne.

Stannis also wants to kill Edric Storm with the promise of being better able to own his rightful kingdom. Renly was rebelling against Stannis with force, committing high treason. As for killing Edric, he clearly did not want to. He refuses to kill him initially, and only gives in once Melissandre has proven herself too many times to ignore.

I never asked for this crown. Gold is cold and heavy on the head, but so long as I am the king, I have a duty … If I must sacrifice one child to the flames to save a million from the dark Or it is no true sacrifice. He may be the best boy who ever drew breath and it would not matter. My duty is to the realm. How many men, how many women? The darkness will devour them all, she says.

The night that never ends. She talks of prophecies. I never asked for this, no more than I asked to be king. Yet dare I disregard her? Great or small, we must do our duty. Also, Stannis is not the king, Renly was committing treason against Joffrey. His army was moving against Joffrey until Stannis moved to besiege Storm's End. By law, Stannis is the rightful king, and so it is his responsibility to ascend to the position and rule. Renly has denied Stannis lands and holdings that rightfully belong to him, and intends to usurp his throne.

He is the king, and he will do what is required of that position. Did you read the quotes I provided? Stannis is the only ruler willing and able to fight the Long Night. Melisandre has proven herself too many times to be ignored now. And just because in this case Stannis is true to his beliefs and Renly is not, Stannis must be a good man and Renly a bad guy? Why are we judging everyone through the lens of Stannis' worldview?

Because as we know today, even the modern man is easily swayed by a man who talks strongly and promises justice, regardless of whether he actually brings any. You make some good points about Renly.

Eh, I wouldn't call it rape it the technical sense that the servant slave was sent to please him anyway, but it certainly wasn't actively consensual in the terms of a willing lover. I hate this take. Virtually everyone in the ancient world had sex with slaves. If you want to call it rape you should identify it as "culturally acceptable rape" so we can distinguish what you really mean.

Because in modern usage "rape" conveys something different than culturally accepted norms. I'm willing to bet the ancient culturally acceptable sex slaves didn't think it was acceptable. What slaves thought on matters of what culturally acceptable had zero impact on a culture. Yes humans have suffered in all times and all places but when you say "rape" nobody is thinking of having perfectly "normal" prostitution with the temple priestesses.

Even in today's most patriarchal cultures, marital rape is still rape, right? Culture doesn't determine what is or isn't rape, the victim does. Marital rape wasn't rape in the USA until just a couple decades ago. This proves my point about changing cultural norms perfectly. Just because it was in the law that marital rape wasn't rape doesn't mean that it wasn't rape and that it wasn't wrong.

Do you really think all laws reflect morality. Tyrion is from Westeros where slavery has death penalty Jorah and he soon as he arrives goes acting like he is from Essos. It also shows how he treats to people serving him , he is spiteful ,miserable creature truly Tywin writ small. From legal point he hasn't broken laws, from moral point as a human and Westerosi he is scum.

For the record, I don't. We can't put modern standards on historical people. In hundreds of years do you want to be known as the equivalent of a rapist because standards changed? Say you eat meat or don't want robots to vote and those standards radically changed do you want people to think you were a vicious animal because you went along with the standards of the time?

I think we can use criminality as a really rough barometer of what constitutes rape. Its not a good measure, but the best we have.

I get what you're saying, but to me it's as simple as "as long as the person doesn't want to have sex but is forced to do it" counts as rape. I mean, certain things can change based on modern standards, but imho this sort of thing is wrong no matter the time frame or culture. Again, I find it wrong that you judge people for being "wrong" no matter the cultural norms.

Would you do me a favor and read the wiki link I'm posting? Who is the victim, the women who provided services or the males who were told they have to spend money on a prostitute to get to heaven? They were both being exploited. Whenever I pixyte Renly in my head, he's one of those characters that I still see the actor from the show.

However, the more I think about him, the more he turns into someone with a very punchable face. Plus, ya know, the long hair. Robb knowingly sending men to their deaths at the Green Fork. Robb raping and pillaging the Westerlands. The men was show only, although that was a battle the Northmen lost in the book too. You're right about the pillaging though. I don't agree with the Sansa one as Lysa was nutso and trying to kill her, but Sansa ratting out Ned was pretty bad.

My current projects include The Wolfblood Prophecies, a series of novels for young adults. See above Some years ago I was short listed for the Ian St. James Award with Crystal, a poetic gothic horror story and received tremendous encouragement from the organisers of the competition to develop one of my short stories, A Window on Her Life, into a full length adult novel.

This is now finished at last and is called Fire and Ice. It tells the story of Penny Marsden, who is picking up the pieces of her broken life. On the back cover I have written: When everything is broken, and all you have is a pile of sharp, dangerous glass, sombre, poisonous, heavy lead, love, sorrow and passion, there is only one thing to do. Make something beautiful, strong and enduring.

Make a stained glass window. I am working on two plays for radio; Talking to Bob is an imaginary conversation with Bob Dylan. My Beautiful Baguette, looks at life in a small rural community, where everyone thinks they know everyone else's business and exactly what they need to do to sort themselves out. The production of a local newsletter connects a very disparate group of people, with the normal scattering of stroppy women.

Contributors to the newsletter meet in My Beautiful Baguette, a coffee shop, where the formidable editor, Maud, dreams her dreams of cutting-edge journalism and a complete absence of poems about cats. The characters were conceived a while back, and refuse to go away. They were inspired by my experiences of living in a small village heaving with eccentrics, and ten years of working on a local feminist, co-operative magazine. They are portrayed with affection that has a few sharp edges.

I like to include the full age range and I particularly enjoy older characters who have lived life to the full and refuse to shuffle off to the communal lounge in the nursing home. Needless to say, My Beautiful Baguette is not really a one-off. None of the characters would settle for that, so I have planned out many more episodes. Before retirement from teaching I used my creative skills to encourage others to tell their stories; my Gypsy pupils worked on a video and produced a book - True Romanies, True Friends - about their experiences during the Tintinhull Project, a wide-ranging, multi-agency challenge to the mutually hostile relations between the Gypsy families and their neighbours.

When I taught in a unit for psychiatrically ill children I also wrote and produced five musical plays specially geared to the young people in our care, fully utilising the talents of pupils and staff in all aspects of production. As a member of Cock Crow Stone, a local theatre group, I was involved in writing for all our performance, particularly a musical adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen, which was subsequently produced by young people in a school and a youth club.

The Community Arts work I do, including writing and making stained glass windows with schools, http: I was writer in residence in the village of Stowell, helping them produce the Stowell Millennium Book, and played a major role in the production of the Ashbrittle Millennium Book as editor and interviewer-in-chief. I recently produced and published The Rose Queen Dined on Spam and Semolina - a collection of life stories about and by members of the village Lunch Club.

I was part of the Somerset Just Women feminist, co-operative magazine team for ten happy years.
