To become a better person is really. Really really really hard I’m struggling

Sansa is a character who undergoes a transformation from an idealistic, naive child to facing the harsh realities of adulthood. Her story particularly emphasizes her feminine values such as love and family, and the compromises she must make as she navigates her journey.

However, in the show adaptation, Sansa's feminine traits were largely omitted, replaced instead with a focus on power and ambition, diverging from the original portrayal. In the books, Sansa expresses, 'I never asked to be part of the game,' yet finds herself thrust into it nonetheless. While she learns to navigate the game from adept players, her primary goal remains self-preservation rather than seeking power.

It seems George R.R. Martin intended Sansa to tell a different story amidst a cast of already power-hungry female characters in Westeros. Characters like Cersei, Daenerys, Asha, and Arianne all pursue power in various ways due to their circumstances and desires. Sansa's arc emphasizes her journey towards self-preservation and protecting her loved ones, rather than seeking dominion.

While TV adaptations are expected to diverge from their source material, the show's departure from the original narrative feels particularly egregious. Sansa's character, along with several others, suffers from inconsistent adaptation choices, making it difficult to pinpoint specific critiques.

The portrayal of Sansa and Arya as feminist icons due to their roles as leaders and warriors in the show is also contentious. While their empowerment is celebrated, it's important to recognize that femininity shouldn't necessitate forsaking their original character arcs. Arya's storyline, for instance, becomes a tale of revenge in the show, whereas in the books, her wounds run deeper and revenge isn't a sufficient resolution. Additionally, the show's portrayal of Sansa's revenge against Ramsay lacks the nuance and complexity of her book counterpart, who prioritizes familial loyalty over personal vengeance.

It's crucial to welcome female characters who navigate traditionally masculine territories, but it's equally important to allow feminine characters to retain their own stories and growth without conforming to masculine norms. This aspect of adaptation warrants criticism and reflection.

If she ever tried T she would definitely end up becoming a TERF detransitioner who spams anti-trans content online I’m sure.

Could transition have saved him?

What I find interesting about this post is that the OP is making the same linguistic distinction. In Korean, there are distinct words for 'eat,' 'drink,' and 'consume.' However, in Korean language and culture, it's common to express 'eating' a drink. Actually, the English expression that most puzzles Koreans is 'taking' a pill.

i love it actually when nonnative speakers make mistakes that reveal how their native languages work.

lots of koreans online say they "eat" drinks which would assume they only have one word which covers the concept of consumption.

arabic immigrants in sweden (my mother included) have a hard time differentiating between "i think/i believe/my opinion is" which suggests that in arabic these different modalities of speaker agency is treated as one or at least interchangeable.

swedish speakers in english will use should/shall/have to/must with much higher nuance precision than native english speakers, to the point where they sound well awkward, because the distinction between these commands in swedish is much clearer than in english. i make mistakes between is/am/are and has/have constantly because swedish only has one pronoun covering all grammatical persons.

i've heard speakers of languages without gendered pronouns (finnish, the chinese dialects, and a tonne more) make he/she mistakes because it's hard(!!) to learn two or more gendered pronouns and when to use them correctly.

how neat is that?! it add a charm to international english usage in particular and make our appreciation of both our native languages and our learnt ones stronger...!!

Quick question: why the term that referring changing a character’s sex (and gender) is called as GENDERswap? I’m not that much familiar with eng using fandom culture, can someone tell me why?

Ohh I just found out that GRRM only played Dungeons & Dragons once and it was not his taste at all. And I can get it. It is based on kinda medieval world, what he likes, but there are no tax policy about fireball spell in Forgotten Realms… lol

But still I’m sure even if overall DnD was not GRRM’s taste, he would enjoy Ravenloft. I’m currently playing Curse of Strahd and it is SOOOO good for ASoIaF fan. Like you know… it is problematic AS HELL. And that’s what our nasty granpa loves most… hehe
