Re: this fucking author

[(Anonymous)]

You don't think this is sexualizing them?

"In a recent interview, GRRM was asked which of his characters he'd like to meet in real life. His response, "Dany-- cause she's hot."

The reaction to this by the audience and interviewer was charmed laughter. However, I admit to finding these comments a bit creepy myself. As we all know, Dany is still 15 years old (GRRM also confirmed in a recent interview-- not the same one that he said she was hot and he was dying to meet her--that she is still only 15, rather than 16.) GRRM is...what...63, or something? As noted, in the past, GRRM has specified that for his characters, he pictures ideas in his own head, rather than the people who play them. So he thinks a 15 year old girl is "hot" and is just dying to meet her?

I guess apparently most fans see no issue whatsoever with this confession, but I must admit to finding it...incredibly creepy. And after reading it, a whole lot of other issues regarding Dany and the way she is characterized came to light. Such as:

1. GRRM has (in interviews) called the wedding night between the then 13 year old Danerys and khal Drogo (in his early to mid 30's) as "the most romantic scene in the books."

2. From the beginning, GRRM really sexualizes the 13 year old Dany, and shows what (to me) comes across as a rather creepy fixation on her figure, particularly her breasts. Let's note the amount of mentions the 13 year old Danerys breasts get in A Game of Thrones alone, shall we?:
"her budding breasts"
"the tips of her breasts rubbed against her gown"
"her small breasts"
"her tender breasts. She liked to hold them. They were so beautiful.."
"the swell beneath her breasts."
"her swollen breasts"
"A small trickle of sweat trickled slowly between Dany's swollen breasts."
"she used her hands, her mouth, her breasts"
"her milk heavy breasts
"sweat ran in between her breasts"
"her breasts bare"

Here, Dany comes off as either a drooling old man imitating a 13 year old girl, or a 13 year old girl with a morbid fascination and obsession with her own breasts.

What creeps me out is that GRRM begins to sexualize her at 13, and continues to do so throughout the rest of the books.

In short, though its not a huge deal, does anyone else agree with me that a 63 year old man voicing his desire for a 15 year old in public strike anyone else as rather creepy?"

That he doesn't write female characters as crappily as other authors do doesn't mean he's doing it without sexualizing them.
