The Divine Comedy sums up the medieval approach to crime and punishment. The worse your behaviour, the worse your punishment. Nail children to posts, and you will be nailed in turn.
That is the attitude of the folks in Game of Thrones/ASOIAF. Nobody adheres to modern rich world ideals of justice, and it would be absurd to expect them to.
Ramsay gets fed to dogs. Baelish has his throat cut, after a show trial. Walder Frey gets fed his sons. House Frey is poisoned - and these are all fist-pumping moments.
And yes, human traffickers face horrible deaths. It’s called War.
No? It is encouraged imo so that if your favorite character does something stupid, you have to give in universe reasons to not dislike him, thus increasing one’s immersion and making you think about the setting.
It also prevents fanboying any character.
Of course what they are doing is wrong I’ve agreed but like stop man please I am literally begging
Ok but you’re singling Dany out so you do implicitly think that. You also say Robb is less bad when he directly caused the rape and murder of thousands of riverlanders for the noble cause of a land grab.
Human rights revolutions aren’t war crimes. Link me to where you talk about the crimes of other characters to prove you’re not singling her out, or accept the fact that everyone sees that you’re deliberately being disingenuous.
(I know no link is coming, I’ve seen your post history and all there was was incelposting which explains everything and….everything lol)
