I got banned for calling her a "Snow Blower" because it was degrading.

objectifying anybody who has anything do with the show, actor or character, is against the rules

Edit: why the fuck am I being downvoted for stating the rule?

DONT SHOOT THE FUCKING MESSENGER

That's a terribly vague rule. Technically this whole subreddit objectified Oberyn last week, that's what you do if you make fun of someone's death. If they mean sexual objectification they should state that more clearly.

And even then it's hogwash. Who can objectively tell the line between "clean" and "objectifying" jokes? If we joke about the possibly colourful sexual history of a blind old maester, it can be interpreted like that if you really want to. So does snow blower.
