Game of Thrones producers can go f**k themselves

[rightwinger]

What a loss of innocence for young Arya

Watching your father get decapitated
Instead of reciting nursery rhymes, reciting the names of those you want to kill
Becoming a face changer
Viciously killing dozens
Sex? Outrage

Sansa wasn't raped in the book. The hollywood filth added that in on their own. Nobody wanted to see that any more than they wanted to see Arya's nude potato-shaped body.

I was glad for her
Closest to a normal relationship in a decade

Sure, ok. I haven't seen it and I don't know how explicit it was but it does seem kinda inappropriate to me that a girl who started out on the show 12 years old is now doing nude scenes in the same show. It's not as if they couldn't have handled it more tastefully.

Not exactly nude
A little butt cheek and side boob action

'Game of Thrones': Maisie Williams discusses Arya's surprise Gendry scene

So after YEARS of watching this young lady grow up from the age of about 11 they see fit to give her a sex scene with nudity? Really?
I'm sure the majority of the public look at her as I do, like a daughter, but apparently the producers wanted to see some tits and ass...

Disgusting and uncalled for as far as the story/plot went.

Dude, it's just a tv show. You DON'T have to watch it.

Dude, people are invested in seeing how the story plays out.

Speaks volumes about Hollywood culture that they pressured that girl, who they had worked with since she was a little child, to get naked on camera for millions to see.

The Arya character is easily old enough to marry and have children, and the desire to experience sex before possibly being killed in battle is perfectly consistent with her personna. Further, the de-flowering character is just the sort of not-terribly-masculine-or-threatening person that she would be comfortable trying it with.

I seriously cannot imagine how a GOT fan who has watched incest, rape, decapitation, physical emasculation, torture, immolation, amputation, flaying, and all other sorts of human atrocity through the first seven seasons would be offended by a consensual sex scene like this.

^This.

Worst thing in the entire series IMO was the mass rape/orgy thing at Craster's keep.

I'm sure her ride was relieved as well.

In the books, Sansa was forced to strip naked and allow the Hound to whip her for Joffrey's pleasure.

She was allowed to do as much or as little as she wanted

 

[strollingbones]

Look she is 18 in rl...she can go die for her country she can decide on a sex scene...

Actually, I think she's 22.

Agreed. It was disgusting and gratuitous. One of my predictions was that Arya and Gendry would fall in love - or at least that was my hope. In Season 2 they had such a sweet relationship. Having them jump into the sack after one short conversation was disrespectful to both of them.

 

[boedicca]

If any of you plebians read the books you'd know that the Hound is supposed to be much younger than how he's portrayed in the show and that the romantic subtext between him and Sansa is one of the highlights of the story.

Sansa and the Hound should be together.

I’d boink Maisie Williams. I swear this, by the old gods and the new.

New?

The false gods worshipped by the southern kneelers

And we have been watching her since she was a TWEEN. Like a daughter.

Creepy as fuck

in those days she would be considered a prime female....

This isn't "those" days.

in that shows timeline, girls of her age would be married off and having kids....

What part of that doesn't make it ok do you not understand?

Again she is an actress and they asked her first. Not sure what you’re so upset about?

To me, this isn't about Maisie, it's about Arya and Gendry's characters.

I find that most of Season 7 and now 8 has been disrespectful to the characters.

It made me uncomfortable.

I have no problems with nudity, sex, porn or any of that other shit.

I watched he GROW UP.

I'm clearly in the minority here so whatever

I haven't watched it in years so didn't see the episode. However, many people are upset about it so you are not alone.

It was as gratuitous as the stupid Ed Sheeren cameo. The producers have gotten lazy and clearly are just going through the motions at this point.

Young ladies grow up, even faceless ones.
Her older sister was married at 14.

And yet her first sexual experience was being raped.

 

[boedicca]

Aryas sex scene looked very tender and affectionate

Given how horrible her life has been, it seemed like a relief

I would have like to see more interaction and a better lead up. This choppy, rushed pacing ruined what could have been a much more meaningful milestone for both Arya and Gendry.

Only six episodes in the final season. Cut to the chase

I want to see dragons and white walkers
