It is absolutely ridiculous that she gets so much hatred from the crazy part of the fandom like the Daenerys stans who constantly bully and threaten her just because of a character that she plays. It's like some of those people are so dumb that they can't understand the difference between a character and an actress. She is not her character! And even so, the hatred that antis give to Sansa doesn't even make sense since she is a great, complex, well-developed character. A character that despite all the abuse that was thrown at her for the first five seasons, she never lost her compassion for others and her willingness to help others. Especially when all she wanted to do was protect her family, her people and the North's independence and freedom. It just cracks me up when some of those same people call her character "Littlefinger in a corset". Seriously? Where? Not once has she ever done anything selfish for herself or betrayed and manipulated anyone for her own gain. Pretty much everything she ever did in season eight was trying to keep her family safe and wanting Jon to remain King in the North. That's the reason why she told Tyrion the truth about him, because she knew how dangerous Daenerys was and wanted to protect Jon from harm. And what does Dany do? Set fire to people when no one forced her to and then try to blame Sansa out of nowhere.
But the actress herself, Sophie Turner getting hatred for literally no reason is just despicable. She's a pretty damn awesome person; intelligent, kind, funny, a badass feminist who works with organizations to help end violence and sexual assault against women and children, especially women and children of color. And yet, idiot antis just want to treat her like garbage. Literally the ONLY "bad" thing she did to really make them hate her was that she talked some smack about the character of Daenerys, which is freaking hilarious, considering that Dany completely deserves to be ridiculed. She has shown herself to be a power-hungry tyrant since pretty much the end of season one. She enjoys burning people alive for simply not agreeing with her, and of course she went off and burned King's Landing, killing millions of people. Which was COMPLETELY in character for her. She has flat out talked about wanting to burn cities since as far back as season two. You just haven't been paying attention. So yes, Sophie is right to talk about how she is a horrible person because she is!
So, they vilify her simply for talking about a FICTIONAL character, even though NOT ONCE has she ever said anything bad about the actors or actresses of the show. And in fact, it is well known that she is very close friends with damn near the entire cast of the show. Especially with Maisie, Kit, AND even Emilia. And if you're mad at her for having fun "making fun" of her friends, then you're really more idiotic than I thought. It's called playful back and forth banter which MANY people in this world have with their friends. There is absolutely NOTHING mean spirited about it at all. So screw all those people who made her life a living hell most of her career for no damn reason. No wonder she has quit Twitter for the time being. She suffered for years with depression and suicidal thoughts because of those pigs. This fandom truly can be toxic as hell.
