The demonstration of how hypocritical the controversies about the morality of Sansa's ships are - the whole old men or her own brother - is the lack of fanart and discussions about PODSA.
Podrick is exactly what Sansa's most self-righteous fans say they want: a guy of a good and kind nature who would never hurt her, who loves and respects the values of chivalry and nobleladies like Sansa does, who understand the pain of lost his family and grown around abusive adults, who has a crush on Sansa so blatant that even Tyrion cant ignore it, and that not only is as young as her but that was born her same year. He is also born on the other side of the continent from a less powerful family so he wouldn't be able to hurt her and there would be no incest. ALSO BRIENNE THE BEST KNIGHT EVER OF TARTH IS LITERALLY REASING HIM TO BE LIKE HER.
With all this you would expect this couple to be massively supported by THOSE STANS..and yet Podsa fanfictions on ao3 do not reach 2,000 and fans upload a new PodSa content on socials less time than Shrek washes in his swamp.
He is such a timid boy. Sansa had been wary of Tyrion's squire at first; he was a Payne, cousin to Ser Ilyn Payne who had taken her father's head off. However, she'd soon come to realize that Pod was as frightened of her as she was of his cousin. Whenever she spoke to him, he turned the most alarming shade of red. (A Storm of Swords - Sansa IV)
I am not joking..there are more Jaimie Lannister x Sansa Stark fanfictions than Podrick Payne x Sansa Stark.
