Nowadays, guys can't suffer rejection ungracefully without being branded a Nice Guy.

spoilerrrrs.

But he doesn't suffer it ungracefully (in the books, obviously). Dany basically tells him to fuck off and not come back after she finds out he was paid to find her and report on her activities, which he then stopped doing as soon as he actually found her. Jorah was more than prepared to stay where he was and continue to advise her despite the initial situation, and despite the fact that she didn't want him as a lover.

And when she tells him to gtfo he just leaves quietly.

I seriously think people are reading something that just isn't there.

DA

Like I said below, I think a lot of people's view of Jorah is tainted by fandom's habit of turning him ito textbook example of a Nice Guy who got friendzoned. Which is a shame, because he's not that at all.

Sorry, I was actually in your corner there. What I meant by ungracefully was just.. generally being upset? There's this idea that someone being upset or shaken up by rejection in any fashion means they're an entitled Nice Guy piece of shit. I personally think Jorah's a damn nice guy, in the non-caps sense.

Oh. Okay, thanks for clarifying there.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-24 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Well that's how it is. Guys are either 'nice guys', 'dudebros' or 'neckbeards'.

[personal profile] herpymcderp 2014-04-24 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh right. Silly me, how could I forget.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-25 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
Unless they're attractive, in which case it's different. The secret is about how Jorah's attractiveness is effectively causing a short-circuit in this system.

I hate that. I wish people who pull that crap got some perspective.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-25 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
Nope. However in your case they can be MRA entitled whiners about "misandry"

You know, when you put something in quotes, it should be because you're quoting it. If you just add something that the person you're replying to didn't say, you're being dishonest.

And in your case, stupid.
nobara: N is for Neville, who died of ennui. (ennui)

No, that was a proper use of scare quotes.
