Additionally i see people saying things (both on here and on twitter) like 'Alicent was Queen, Sansa was not, there is no way to comapre them'.

And that's weird to me because Alicent being queen, doesn't change the fact that she is still a victim of abuse in a situation where hardly anyone helps or listens to her. It doesn't change the fact that she still faced various forms of martial abuse/rape that people STILL dispute to this day and is brushed over. Alicent being queen doesn't automatically make her this invincible being. And in ASOIAF/GOT history, queens weren't suddenly unable to be abused or mistreated because they were queens.

And this does draw back to Sansa and Alicent comparisons. Yes, Alicent is queen, but that doesn't change the fact that like Sansa she was a.) forced into a marriage as a child and b.) she is utterly alone and at the mercy of the king. And Alicent and Sansa are further compared when little finger manipulates her into marrying Ramsay for the good of winterfell. In each cases, both women are alone. Even as Lady of Winterfell, a position that should grand her ultimate power, Sansa is still a victim of violent abuse and isolation. Likewise, while being queen should give Alicent autonomy power and power to protect her family, it doesn't. Still a victim of martial abuse. Her son (who was jumped by four people, two of them his bullies) was nearly killed and she still got no choice.

And similiar to Sansa in Winterfell, Alicent did try her best to follow the laws, uphold the kingdom, family, etc., in a position that she was forced into as a child.

I'm just gonna stop here, but it's such a shame that hotd/asoiaf gives us these really complex women that we can compare and contrast especially by means of abuse. Alicent and Sansa don't have the same privileges or abilities as others do to break free from their abuse, or to be girl bosses. But they still fight back in their own ways, and the fandom hates that. that is what i mean by they aren't the perfect abuse victims, so therefore we have people hating them together or separately.

Again, this fake wave of Sansa love and support coming from people who have history of hating her and harassing the actress would be funny if that didn't mean they suddenly forgot about the misogyny that they were responsible for. And like i mentioned in my other alicent post, that a lot of these people saying that 'sansa and alicent are different! leave sansa out of this dont' compare her to that bitch alicent' were a.) saying worse about sansa years ago and were b.) only care about sansa so they can tear down and be misogynstic to alicent. that is the only reason. that is why they aren't mentioning anything about the violent misogyny sansa faced back then, because they'd be telling on themselves. discussing misogyny is only convienet for them when they can use it to tear down another woman.

Look guys, I love Brienne x Jaime with all my goddamn heart (what little there’s left of it) but I swear if Sansa Stark doesn’t survive the end of this show, I will kill everyone in this room and then myself.
