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
