Sure he was a dick about it, but &#8211; guys &#8211; we have such a proclivity for being dicks in that age group.<\/p>\n<p>Hormones and being a teenager are horrible, horrible things. Perhaps this is something some of you are dealing with right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If I held other people responsible for fictional character&rsquo;s actions, I&rsquo;d be pretty pissed at any blonde-haired, blue-eyed Lannister looking folk. I&rsquo;d confuse Christina Hendricks with Joan and get mad at her IRL husband for letting her\u00a0prostitute\u00a0herself, I&rsquo;d have been against Zuko for not believing Peter Pan had really come back to save his children from Captain Hook.<\/p>\n<p>Passions running high means that the series is connecting with people, which is a good sign. I just suggest paying very close attention to what our individual output is into the world. Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, these things are isolating because we&rsquo;re sitting in front of a screen broadcasting our thoughts. BUT &#8211; they are communities and wishing death\/harm upon a character or those character&rsquo;s supporters because of something that&rsquo;s NOT in the show is critically irresponsible and morally reprehensible.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;m not a sports fan, but I posit a lot of sports fans know what the appropriate line is. I&rsquo;ve been in many a stadium and a few bars where people that are enemies while they&rsquo;re enjoying their sport find a love\/hate mid-ground that manages to find commonality in something, even if that something is mutual dislike of a third party.<\/p>\n<p>That was a bunch of long sentences. Let&rsquo;s just all agree while Kim Kardashian is out there being a waste of human genetic material and failing to contribute to society as a whole, there are more important things to champion than valid interpretations of a piece of art we all love and love to discuss.<\/p>\n<p>-Da7e-<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know not to get involved in spirited fan debates that somehow turn into battles about the intimate thoughts of characters that are part of a larger narrative mostly uninterested in the intimate thoughts of those characters.
