"This girl is no dyke."

Some Game of Thrones fans are incredibly disappointed after the big sex scene in the show's most recent episode — and they're convinced one of the participants was disappointed, too.
Most viewers were surprised when Arya Stark got together with Gendry in Sunday's night's episode, but it wasn't just because Arya is young and hadn't had sex before.
On Twitter, a vocal contingent of fans are insisting that Arya is a lesbian and are upset that Game of Thrones writers aren't acknowledging it.

See 80.
They spent a lot of time together. Who else, besides the hound, even knew Arya had a list.
P.S. For what it’s worth:
I read The Lord of the Rings 24+ times.
I did not make it to the end of the first book of A Song of Ice and Fire.
The biopic, Tolkien, is due out in early May, about his formative WWI years, with his literary/military pals, his inspiration for the Fellowship, and with Edith, his inspiration for Luthien Tinuviel. It stars Nicholas Hoult and Lily Collins as the two lovers.
Inklings trivia:
The Screwtape Letters was dedicated to JRRT.
In the forward to That Hideous Strength, CSL writes that those who want to read more about Atlantis (JRRT’s Atalantale = Numenor) must wait for the publication of the manuscript by his friend, JRRT.
Lewis was not referring to the trilogy, published soon thereafter. He was referring to The Silmarillion (First Age) & Akallabeth (Second Age), which was not published until after JRRT died, by his son, Christopher.
That says more about you than paint drying.
Well aren’t you superior.
Good gosh, people. Get a grip.
I haven’t turned on network TV for 20 years, but I love Game of Thrones. The TV hasn’t been on at all for over three months except to watch a DVD of Casablanca and Game of Thrones. The thing that hooked me is it’s nihilism, it’s not a classic good vs. evil tale where the characters are clearly defined and the good guys win. The characters are mostly grey and when it looks like one is getting the upper hand he or she usually dies in the most gruesome way possible. Yes, there’s some homosexuality but there’s also a lot of heterosexuality and unlike EVERY other show on television I don’t get the feeling that I’m being preached to. In the end it’s just a great show with a good twisty plotline and good character development. I don’t read more into it than that, I’m 50 years old and don’t want or need to find some kind of deeper meaning or morality lesson in a TV show. It’s bloody, gory, sexy, and wickedly entertaining. That’s all I really care about when I turn it on.
The actor Ian McShane had a guest spot and summed it up pretty well when he said “it’s just tits and dragons”. I just happen to like tits and dragons.
I watch Sunday Morning to moon over Jane Pauley.
But the segments are like, yeah.
A show to keep the ignorant masses distracted
Incest: It Runs In The Family.
In real life Ygritte (the actress Rose Leslie) is the daughter of a Scottish clan chief, so I guess running around on the moors wearing animal skins and killing her own food and eating it without utensils came naturally for her.
Tomboy heroines have been around for a while without people thinking of them as lesbian. Stories are written by people who don't fit in for an audience that largely doesn't fit in either, but few people assumed that the characters were gay. I wondered where they were going with Arya. They took the "tomboy" thing much further than Disney and other media outlets took it. Same thing with Brienne of Tarth. But while today's media like to have gay characters - there were a lot of them in Game of Thrones, audiences feel uncomfortable about characters they've come to know suddenly being revealed to be homosexuals. Classic example: "Buffy's friend Willow". If it had been bad girl Faith they made a lesbian, audiences would have like it better.
And in real life she (Ygritte/Rose Leslie) is married to Jon Snow/Kit Harrington). The opening of the recent SNL that Harrington hosted was mildly interesting when she had a bit part (with other GOT actors) about what would happen in the last season. After that it was the usual SNL crappie and I turned it off.
Thank you so much! My brother got me started on Game of Thrones, so usually I can ask him.
One other thing I caught that I forgot to mention....what about those red scars on Arya’s right side/ribcage? Why were they shown in detail during the scene with Gendry? Arya was stabbed in the front belly area during the fight in the dark room.
Melisandre (the red woman) is on Arya’s list.
I think that was why she was saying I’m not the red woman when she taking off her clothes.
If you say so, it must be.
