But a modern conception of love doesn't work out in the GoT universe without completely shattering the whole way that world works. Westeros is a pre-industrial, feudal, and courtly society. Concepts of family and marriage and reproduction are innately political there. Ideas we've been developing for the last quarter of a millennium about individualism and the public/private divide make no sense in Westeros.

From a Westerosi point of view what Robb has done should outrage everybody - by all the standards that make their society work he's done something reprehensible. Far worse than his decision in the book (and in the book it was already pretty damn bad). The fact that nobody in the show is reacting the way they ought basically destabilises the rules of how this society works for every other storyline. And for what? I'm sorry I get ranty on this, but it's not like Hot White Twenty-Something Dude falls for Hot White Twenty-Something Dudette Who Fancies Him Back So They Do it is an under-explored narrative.

But it's going to blow up in their faces. If it worked out, I would be totally pissed.

Just FYI, Oona Chaplin (the actress who plays Talisa) isn't white (she's Chilean,) and IMO Jeyne Westerling (descendent of Maggy the Frog, family from Volantis, mentioned more than once to have undesirable blood from her mother's side) isn't either. But other than that IA 100% with this comment.
