I love that trout eating grin he has after that. He's like MUHAHAH look at what I have done!
I felt the same way when Khinsider was getting death threats over my Kh3 prank for april fools. So I really can't hate the dude too much. The reactions are the best part!
Probably a book spoiler or something that someone will get offended byFrom the very beginning, she showed that she wasn't merely just another girl, despite society and her own parents telling and treating her as such. She demanded to be the way she wanted to be and did not give a trout what anyone else thought or how difficult it would be. She has, time after time, shown that she is capable of handling situations that someone of her age should not and, specifically with her revenge plot, has shown that she understands much more than she lets on, at least in terms of letting people live longer than she would otherwise like simply because it isn't the time for their death.Originally Posted by Tifa's Boobs
That's not a spoiler; now you're over-correcting. Don't worry, even though this is difficult for you I will always be here to help you, Buns.
I agree though.
Neither was the last one but it was apparently problematic.
I know that you think that. It's okay, I don't mind helping you.
Because she (and Brienne) are just about the only females in the show that "I-am-basically-the-opposite-of-feminine"-Pike can identify with.
(Editing because someone is going to misinterpret this as me being a misogynist or something and I feel like I need to clarify what I mean. Growing up I desperately wanted to be a boy and be able to do boy things; I remember throwing fits because my parents wouldn't let me wear boy clothes to certain places. Arya is a lot like I was in that regard. People tell her "You can't do that because you're a girl and that's a guy thing", and she gives them the evil eye and proves that she can.)

I don't understand why it isn't ok for a female to act in a non-stereotypical way and be held up as a model. Joan d'Arc, for example, if far from your stereotypical 'female' but is an idol to many. Does the female need to a type-set 'female' (dresses, rosey cheeks, mothering etc) in order to be an ideal model to admire as a fermale character? Are you saying Arya's stereotypical quasi-masculine traits rule her out of that? Making her basically a man with flaps?
Can effeminate men therefore be ruled out as male role models because they're not your typical 'strong silent, hunter gatherer'?
Not having a go in any way shape or form i'm just curious as to why her personality males women question if she's a great female model. Yiu are not the first female to raise this by the way.
Well, I do like the answers I'm receiving, and I can understand why people like her personality. But she does some pretty smurfed up stuff, so I'm not sure if she should be a role model, per say. xD
EDIT: This post has nothing to do with gender issues at all.
Ok, I read that wrong, I've seen many bring gender into though.
I just meant that my latest post in this thread wasn't saying that someone should like/dislike her for her gender identity or whatever. When I say that she does messed up stuff, I just wanted to clarify that that has nothing to do with the questionable stuff she does.
No. Loras.
I just realized I never did get to see Robb's wang.

(SPOILER) of course, seeing how everyone's dying left and right in this book, that conversation might take place in the after life. Or as zombies. Zombies does sound more likely, given what's going on in the world.
As for the Arya fans comment, I think she's one of the, I don't know, more original characters? She's a rebel at heart, so she's fun to follow. (SPOILER) she's also not afraid to her hands dirty or delve into dark places, so I'm really interested to see what her character will ultimately develop into
The gender stereotype stuff, eh, you can discuss that forever in another thread
i love how she is not a girly girl. she really wants to stand up in a 'man dominated world'Because she (and Brienne) are just about the only females in the show that "I-am-basically-the-opposite-of-feminine"-Pike can identify with.
