Hum... idk, maybe because the entire tag is full of metas claiming that Sansa is a queen who can never be wrong and is smarter than everyone while Jon is useless? I have nothing against jonsa, and I don't care about jonerys ether, but this seems contradictory to me.
Ok. You seem to confuse the metas focusing on Sansa’s character and her role in the story and the posts putting Sansa against Jon. I assure you, those two are very different. There is much focus on Sansa in the jonsa tag, I’ll give you that, but I’m sure it hasn’t escaped your notice that there’s also a huge amount of hatred for the character outside of the jonsa/sansa stark fandoms, so writing in her defense almost became a reflex at this point. Jon is a popular character, so the same problem doesn’t apply to him.
Plus, you know, S8 is going to start airing soon and it’s fun to speculate on Sansa’s reaction to Jon’s decision and Dany’s arrival in Winterfell. Especially since she’s the one who’ll most likely handle the political consequences of Jon’s true parentage. The Northern lords will be pissed, that’s for sure.
I’d like to make one thing clear here. I do not and have never thought Jon to be useless and dumb. Not during the Battle of Bastards and not during his trip to Dragonstone.
What were the facts in Jon’s possesion when he left Winterfell? A - The Night King and his army are coming. B- The North is alone in this fight. C - If Westeros cannot find a way to unit against a common ennemy, then they’re all doomed.
That’s it, that’s all he knows. We know that Bran is the one who will ultimately save them all. Jon doesn’t ( he doesn’t even know that Bran is alive). All he knows for sure is that they need allies AND weapons. Dany’s dragons may not make much difference in the end, but she has the men and she controls the access to the dragonglass.
So Jon left. And he came back with 2 dragons, weapons and an army.
Doesn’t mean that I agree with all his decisions, mind you, but legit the only thing that would make me call him dumb is if the writers truly decide to go with the “he gave away the North for looooovvveeeeee” route. There has to be more to his decision. If there isn’t, then not only is he dumb, but he’s also a traitor.
EDIT: also, I don’t consider Sansa to be the smartest of them all or anything. She can and has been wrong in the past. But she learns from her mistakes and makes sure to never repeat them. That’s one of her many strengths. Sansa’s political skills are vital in the long term and if you can’t see that my friend, then idk what to tell you.
