So you agree that all the characters who are attracted to or married to underage characters are pedophiles? Or hundreds of medieval marriages given what society used to view as adulthood back then? Girls were married as early as twelve in some cases.

Funny how you neglected to respond to the Jorah bit down below. Are you going to tell childlngs that she supports pedophilia? Whenever there's a Dany/anyone ship post, are you going to complain about pedophilia given that Dany is 13 years old in the books?

Not to mention as early in the 1800s it was not unheard of for 13 year old girls to marry older men just because of the life expectancy rate. Obviously such actions wouldn't be condoned *today* but I'm not going to whine that Edgar Allan Poe is an evil pervert because he married his 13 year old cousin because society was different back then.

Short of the character being a sexual sadist like Ramsay or a psychopath like Gregor or Joffrey, I'm not going to judge the characters in ASOIAF by today's societal standards. Sandor clearly has a lot of issues but his attraction to Sansa is not abhorrent in the context of the series.

But whatever. All the people who matter in my eyes are at least sympathetic to Sandor and Sansa if not outright shippers (hi, Sophie!) so I could give a flying fuck what others think.

That is just... not true re: the marriage stuff. I mean, first of all ASOIAF is set in a pseudo-medieval world not the 1800s, so I'm not sure why that's relevant. And even if it were relevant, it's not true. (Also, people DO talk about how Poe was a creeper for marrying his 13 year old cousin because HE WAS. and he was even by his society's standards.) But even in the middle ages, it was not common for young teens to be married and sexually active.

I'm too lazy to type up an explanation, so I'll just link you to one that will be better than anything I could write: http://headtrip-honey-asoiaf.tumblr.com/post/21846713500/a-small-comment-on-shipping-tw-rape
