#you all will read about fics set 20 years into future and wrongly say people are sexualizing kids

Now if I say that in asoiaf fandom, beauty and femininity of female characters are measured by how many male characters ( the upper in class the better) have desired these female characters sexually and in turn the acknowledgement of these said female characters' sexuality comes from not their own confessions but from wanting/dreading to see reciprocations of the advances made by the male characters, I will be the bad guy.

I guess it is Grrm's fault in a way. It is all very voyeuristic. The threat of rape hangs in the air for all women and we have little girls with too full breasts in too tight or barely there gowns. We are present for the bedding ceremony and taken into bedrooms which are breeding grounds of all the lascivious gossips. But the irony is that this fandom with all its intelligent takes on gender, somehow subscribes fully to the male gaze. That which makes a woman desireable to men, is beautiful and feminine. Why else would Lyanna Stark be pretty but, you all break out in hives when Mackenzie or Olivia is face casted as Arya ( you absolutely don't when these same actresses are casted as Lyanna). You all will break your spine and be the Ring ghost climbing around on all fours with your "b-but Arya doesn't look like her Aunt!! let little girls be ugly 👏🏽👏🏽" GIRL I-
