You know I think a chronic problem with male ASOIAF fans is that a lot of them have never talked to their mom or grandma or any sex worker so they don't seem to realize that abuse and exploitation exist regardless of legality or societal values. "It's legal for Robert to rape Cersei so why does she consider it rape why does she feel exploited if it's normal and accepted" well you see rape exists whether it's legal or not, it didn't become traumatizing by virtue of being made illegal. "Why is Sansa so horrified at the prospect of Tyrion sleeping with her" well Chett it's because pedophilia is traumatizing in and of itself not because people suddenly decided it was harmful for shits and giggles. I'm sure you would know if you asked meemaw how she felt about grandpa beating her or her being married at 14 when it was still technically acceptable to do so.
"Omg I can't believe this cunt whore Shae wanted to be paid for her services and used Tyrion to be a gold digger" Well Brad Shae is a disenfranchised woman in a world where she can't exactly go back to college or do doordash, and Tyrion is certainly not going to marry her she kinda needs her own money. Him not paying her is kinda fucking her over massively so yeah she needs to keep the dresses and the jewelry to be able to do a quick getaway in case things turn to shit. I know Tyrion is your Bro but he is not in fact entitled to free sexual labour because he's ugly and sad. Maybe talk to grandmama about what she did before women were allowed their own bank accounts idk.
