Clinical psychologist Janina Scarlet says Game of Thrones has functioned as a kind of refuge for trauma survivors who were able to feel and establish a sense of connection with characters who endured suffering from physical disfigurement to the loss of multiple loved ones. So Khaleesi's heel turn is particularly troubling for fans who might have felt a true sense of connection to her character following her epic story arc, which has seen Dany escape some awful circumstances to literally walk through fire, free the slaves, bring Dragons to the north and help rally the troops to defeat the Night King. She has basically been Abraham Lincoln, Hercules and Winston Churchill combined into one person riding a dragon.
Scarlet uses the term "parasocial relationship" to describe the bond a fan might form with a fictional character or celebrity. >"Parasocial relationships can help fans to feel less alone in their mental health struggles, can inspire hope, and create a dialogue about trauma and recovery," Scarlet explained. "Seeing a person who came from an abusive childhood, experienced violence, assault and tragedy can inspire many other trauma survivors, especially"
'Scarlet is also a self-proclaimed geek, author and creator of Superhero Therapy, which integrates beloved characters from comics, science fiction, fantasy and video games into certain types of therapy. Scarlet, who's based in San Diego, works with clients to identify their own skills and strengths using characters like Veronica Mars, who has a talent for detective work, as role models.'
>"For many fans, especially women, who might identify with Daenerys in terms of being a survivor, this sudden change can be both confusing and emotionally distressing. Such story arc can appear to take away from agency that many trauma survivors may develop through parasocial relationships."
'Scarlet agreed with countless fans on social media -- and everybody watching in my household -- that the Mother of Dragons' slaughter of thousands at King's Landing doesn't exactly jibe with the image of Daenerys Targaryen we've become familiar with from the good old, chain-breaking days in Meereen and beyond.'
'She's also concerned the depiction of extreme violence against a multitude of unnamed characters in "The Bells" could trigger fans.' >"It is my hope that in the future, writers of television and films will consider having cultural and/or mental health consultants on staff, especially when writing storylines dealing with trauma, shock, and horror in order to be conscientious about the potential effects the particular episode or scene may have on the viewers."

Shouldn't this be empowering though? Like, "Look, I came from a defeated past, but now I am a literal dragon god who can accomplish anything at any cost."
Gavin Johnson
But women are exactly like Daenerys. That's why they are so upset. Nobody likes to see their ugly projection turn evil. Liberal women want to allow hordes of brown people to come to our cities to rape and murder us. Liberalism will burn our cities to the ground. Millions of white children will die screaming. Being hit with this makes the uncomfortable

mass suicide?? hell no I want to see them suffer on tv and have nervous breakdowns. a few can kill themselves. the only bad thing is that our ENTERTAINMENT industry is led by these fuckers so they will pour all their politics into it like they have done with star wars, comics and video games

the obvious progression of this is that we get to a point where if writers make their characters behave in ways that upset viewers, the viewers are victims of abuse and have right to legal recourse against the creators, and potentially the characters (reparations from which would be supplied by the studio/network).

Yay strong Stark girls, murder your oppressors, feed Ramsey to the hounds, feed Frey's kids to him, slit Littlefinger's throat. Return the violence that has been wielded against you by your oppressors throughout the show. > Have the audience literally rooting for slaughter of the people who stood in the way of the subtly established protagonists, then given them a full dose of what they want. Force them to look at mothers and children being burned alive for 20 minutes, "good" Northern soldiers raping and murdering women, honorable and disciplined unsullied murdering surrendered prisoners. >Do much of this through the perspective of Jon and Arya who have been built up to be unstoppable badasses getting utterly crushed by the carnage around them. There's no going back to warrior or assassin from that. >You can't turn away. You've been self-inserting into these characters, contemplating things from their perspective, weighing their decisions against your moral compass. You're a feminist, Dany's a Strong Woman in a world of cruel men who goes over the line (BECUZ ITS REALISTIC) but tries to be just. You're conditioned to support her >People snap, cancel Dany, screech about white men, do ANYTHING not to feel disgusted with themselves and being tricked into letting their worst instincts take over. But ultimately the lesson that War is Hell even if you think you're on the side of the angels will seep in. Which really is what the entire series is about for better or worse.

Dylan Gonzalez
Highschool education forces you to consider all works of fiction as sets of themes, symbolts, and representations. Nothing is just "a character doing character things", it always symbolizes broader elements or is an allegory for something greater.
That, and people unhealthily identify with characters "literally me omg" so a character doing anything that isnt pure power fantasy feels like an attack on everyone that worships it.
What the actual fuck is a 'french door refrigerator'?

It would have been a fucking masterpiece of performance art if it had been done on purpose, but we all know D&D's writing skills or artistic integrity are up to the task. Jon's an Arya's nerfing from superhero-esque back to normal people were done only because it suited the plot, and Dany's actions were written that way only so that they could shock the audience (they've expressed numerous times that they are dumb fucks who think they are clever and like to shock people with unexpected moments) rather than because they want to showcase a morally gray lesson to the audience via a bait-and-switch.

Everyone was afraid of Stannis sacking the city and he is the sternest of disciplinarians. You can't control the soldiers during a sack. Command and control becomes next to impossible once the soldiers spread into the city and are angry about having to breach the walls. Not even Stannis would be able to stop it. Traditionally, a sack would last three days if the town refused to surrender and the attackers had to breach the walls.
Jordan Gomez
>the only good episode in the season >psychologists literally condemn it
Jace Sanchez

Carson Turner
Meh, much of Star Wars fell into place by accident as well. In a way the fact that prior sloppiness reinforces the effect makes it better. If Arya didn't become Mary Sue Ninja Wonder Girl her getting demolished into a scared little girl by the full on horrors of war wouldn't be as effective. Killing the night king vs watching women and children next to you get napalmed made for a great juxtaposition of self insert action figure hero fantasy and reality of war.
It probably followed GRRM's outline, he's very much about turning fantasy archetypes on their heads so people think about what's happening to all the commoners that get glossed over. And DnD may not be the greatest but they're not idiots, there's no way they did the most on the nose GRRM thing they could (here's what it looks like when your "bad guys" get destroyed by the "good guys" up close, enjoy the show) by accident.

This is what women do, user. Have you never heard one of them, when hearing a song on the radio, say "this is my song"?

I completely understand. Few times in media does a TV show respond to a certain audience as heavily as Game of Thrones. Yesterday, I felt betrayed. Hurt. And almost made me want to give up on the show (but this would mean giving up 10 years of my lives)
The first season came around my Junior year of High School, and has shaped the way I viewed media as a young student to a college graduate I am today. My girlfriend feels the same way as I do. We actually started watching Big Little Lies instead, because Game Of Thrones is just that emotionally draining.

fiction is not reality, it will never be a 1:1 and it isn't meant to be.
It's perfectly normal to relate to characters, but you have to realize they are not real and that you shouldn't be taking it so personally if something bad happens to the character.
Of course it upsets you personally if you really relate to the character and grow to care about them, but it's just a fictional character and I highly doubt the author wrote it just to specifically piss you off like they know you personally.
I think there is a conversation that could be had about why an author decides to make certain decisions and how that could relate to misogyny, but just assuming is ridiculous. And even if he was a misogynist cunt, who gives a fuck? It's a fucking tv show. You are in far more trouble about the fact that you are looking at fictional stories to tell you how to live your life.
This is really prevalent now and it's honestly concerning to me. So many people are taking fiction so seriously and it's honestly hurting literature and art. I don't like it at all, but what to do about it?
Brayden Baker

I'm in the medical field (RN) and one of the many things I've learned is that the HCPs that go on TV to give a medical diagnose on someone or people involved with some hot topic are usually shitty hacks trying to make a quick buck and fame. Diagnosing someone takes a lot of assessments, history taking, and testing to accurately do. For her to imply that the majority of the fan fury comes from some sort of refugee for mental trauma... without even sitting down 1-on-1 with a lot of these people... Jesus Christ, what a hack.
Can't it just be simply that like with a lot of beloved characters; many people invest a lot of time and interest in these characters' stories and they want said characters to act in the established ways they approve of as well as have stories they find acceptable? Why the fuck does she need to hamfist the victim complex into this?

I'm not even in the medical field and every time I see a "professional psychologist" show up on tv to give an opinion, I know they are a certified sellout and hack. It's just common sense that you can't diagnose someone unless knowing A LOT of things because every situation/person is different.

Probably. They also just want attention, and social media is like an instant way to get attention or "validation" if you tweet stupid enough or recently "woke enough" stuff.
I'm convinced at least 50% of people who get so "outraged" on social media don't actually care and are only doing it for clicks. I've seen numerous isolated cases of people moving onto something a day or week later when the last week they were acting like they were going to die about their previous obsession.

This type of internet hyperbole extends beyond TV shows and entertainment. It whips up a whirlwind of fear and paranoia that leads to doxing, lawsuits and even real life physical violence. Cyberbullying and death threats most times are taken with a grain of salt. But cyberstalking and defamation have quite literally led to job loss and all kinds of other misery. These petty squabbles on social media tend to snowball when left unchecked, and big corporations do their best to enable this attitude for clicks and likes, rather than aim to keep the peace. Journalists even more so. It's all a mess, and it will get worse as long as people like you continue to pretend it doesn't exist.

>not a "meme" in any way. Replication crisis Also, where are ANY actual verifiable models of literally anything? Imagine physics being on the same level psych is today. It would be calling lightning a "Tesla-Edison Flash Phenomenon" and produce countless papers on how the phenomenon MAYBE might happen, sometimes. Somehow. For not sure what reasons and can't actually measure to what extent. But hey, we've observed it and gave it a fancy name so it's Science(TM)!

Why do I find reactions of guys in Burlington bar videos so unnatural and weird?
>dude literally giving the middle finger to on-screen characters >mouth wide open during scenes >weird fucking gesticulations all the time
I know that they know they're being filmed, so there's that. But still, I feel like there's something else wrong with them beside being turbo-hipsters.

Haters can hate, but I still believe in Sigmund.
Everyone might say he's a joke, but he has an explanation for why contemporary slang is obsessed with the word "ass," for example; it's because most people never get past what he identified as the anal stage of child psychological development.

>There will no doubt be a lot of ink spilled over this development as fans and critics digest what may very well be the final major twist in a television show a decade in the making and 25 years in the writing. In the end, author George R.R. Martin’s story is in part that of a woman who spent her entire life training and studying to one day become the leader of Westeros, only to become someone the country’s elites deem “too dangerous” to be allowed to take power. It looks increasingly likely that the savior of the country will be a man who knows almost nothing about ruling it. Even knowing this is based on an ending Martin had plotted out decades ago, the shades of the 2016 election are too hard to ignore.
>The “A Song of Ice and Fire” novels and the “Game of Thrones” adaptation both appeal in part because of their anti-patriarchal themes. But the idea that toxic masculinity hurts everyone has always existed in contrast to a production and writing team comprised almost exclusively of white men. (The show has had an all-male writing and directing team from season five onward.)
>Unlike in the show, the novels describes many of the biggest surprises from the character’s viewpoint. In this first-person perspective, the events make more sense. Ned believes the world is honorable. Catelyn and Robb believe their allies have their backs. Losing that connection is a mistake. Daenerys would almost certainly have been better served by being able to narrate her own thought process ahead of her apparent moment of madness. Instead, bells rang and a woman who had been hanging by a thread, driven to the brink by a patriarchy that does not want her, snapped.

It's the same when these retards were angry about the Jaime-Cersei or Sansa-Ramsay rape. If the show is 'misogynistic', so are the books. And actually there are tons of rape scenes in the books that aren't in the show

This Book Dany is someone who means well but who rules entirely based on her emotions, to disastrous consequences, everything she touches falls apart because she doesn't really know what she's doing. All she needs is enough pushing for those emotions to turn grim and there's no limit to the attrocities she'll commit.
