A post on the Jon Snow tag with gifs of Mance being burned by Stannis with Tormund and Jon’s angry/horrified faces - of course this post is to show that Dany is evil and has nothing to do with Stannis considering all the folks reblogging and commenting on this.
This comment by the Jonsa Lawyer stood out:
One thing particularly striking about death by fire is it’s essentially impossible to die with any dignity in that situation…which is basically the point.
How did this guy die then?
He died with dignity? Or begging and pleading for a second chance? Which Jon did not give him because Jon needed to make a stand and a statement about his authority as Lord Commander.
How was Janos Slynt’s death more dignified than this?
Dany too needed to make a statement about her authority with these lords who kept openly defying her. Dany was actually even more lenient than Jon - she offered them two chances - bend the knee/go to the wall. Unlike Slynt, they refused to do either.
If we are talking about her battle against the Lannisters….
How is this more dignified than someone dying slowly in the battle of the bastards with their guts hanging out?
See all the dead people behind Robb? I doubt they had dignified deaths…
Remember those dead soldiers that the Tarlys and Jaime slew in Highgarden? Hell, Dickon describes feeling bad about the smell and the deaths of people he used to call friends. Think they had nice, easy dignified deaths at the hands of those they used to consider brothers in arms?
How about all those Wildlings that died when Jon Snow poured hot oil on them and then burned them with fire tipped arrows? Dignified deaths?
Did Olly have a dignified death? A child hanging with his tongue sticking out? Probably lost control of his bowels.
What about when Tyrion blew people up with Wildfire?
What about when Ned and Stannis crushed the Ironborn rebellion against the Iron Throne and killled many including Theon’s brothers. Dignified deaths there?
War is bad and death is death - death is ugly. There is nothing dignified about death in Westeros. No matter who is involved - be it Robb, Jon, Sansa, Jaime, Stannis, Tyrion, Joffrey, Tywin, Ned, Renly or Dany.
There is no good war or bad war. No good death or bad death. They are all the same.
Don’t be hypocrites. If you want to criticize Dany for her war, then be an equal opportunity critic and criticize everyone.
And since you all are big fans of the kindest, most compassionate mother Theresa of the North who does not have a new costume because she is sewing through the night for all of the north and saving fabric to make clothes for them, understand that she too waged war against the Warden of the North. As she keeps reminding everyone, she won the BOTB with a Vale army - that slew thousands of men - who all died with no dignity on the battlefield with their limbs chopped off, their guts hanging out and probably shitting themselves while dying. Very dignified indeed.
