Wmarshal Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I come to ask, what group or character do you feel bias towards, either support or hate? For me LS, I ragged on Dany for child murder, and group punishment, yet for some reason, I feel a bit blinded with LS. I just get her reasoning better, and over all I think she used alot more evidence then Beric when it came to hangings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMysteriousOne Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I am slightly biased in favor of Daenerys, and the Stark kids (but to a lesser degree). We're all biased in one way or another. However, I'd like to think that I'm able to appropriately judge the merits and flaws of the characters I like the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reek Havoc Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I'm completely bias towards Arya. No matter what she does, I can dig up some way to justify it. Extremely bias against Cersei and Littlefinger. Neither one of them are capable of doing anything without selfish motivation in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChillyPolly Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I have no biases. I call them as I see them. And I see them as they are ... as far as I know.I'm not trying to be arrogant or claim infallibility. But if I see things a certain way, why should I second-guess myself? If others think I am biased, that's for them to say. Perhaps they can convince me to modify my perspective, but even after I have changed my mind, that puts me back in the same boat. I was biased before ... but now I see things differently, and as far as I know correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good Guy Garlan Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I'm completely bias towards Arya. No matter what she does, I can dig up some way to justify it. Me too. And the Tyrells and Edmure. They can't do no wrong. And I'm biased against Jaime, which is weird because I used to like him, but with every re-read I hate him more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj4iy Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I like certain characters over others, but I'd like to think that I'm not actually biased in how I see them. Jon Snow is my favorite character, but I have criticized his character and how his chapters were written. I would be the first to tell you that his character is a trope. But I try to be fair in how I judge all of the characters and all of the writing, whether I like it or not. Same with the acting on the show.

Crow's eye in the sky Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Tyrion, Arya are very high on my list. No matter how many horrible things they do, I will always root for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Mac Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Stannis of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sullen Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Seeing Renly get unwarranted backlash from Stanstans has led me to become progressively more defensive when the character is concerned, to the point where I might derail a thread if something negative is said about Renly. I wouldn't exactly say I'm biased, just that I might be a bit overzealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCon's Red Beard Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 And biased towards any action Dany takes against the slavers. Also, to anything Stannis does in order to remove the Lannisters from power. After Feast, I favoured everything that shows that Jaime is changing. And if Jon Connington actually tries to go and murder "the Usurper's line", I'm ready to look aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyannaisalive Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 For me its Jon Snow. I hate Dany and her decisions but I think Jon does everything the way it should be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willofDorne Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Littlefinger is one character who has tiptoed around being ruthless, but I have a hard time hating him. Arya, she can do no wrong. Robert Baratheon gets endless kudos from me. Loras Tyrell skates around being a total ass, but I like him anyways. I'm not even sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they can convince me to modify my perspective, but even after I have changed my mind, that puts me back in the same boat. I was biased before ... but now I see things differently, and as far as I know correctly. As you see them is... well, to put it bluntly biased. If the character or subject is able to be interpreted from multiple angles, and for the most part they all are, then any particular viewpoint you or someone comes up with will ultimately be subjective. To claim no bias in a subject would either mean that the person has a lack of knowledge of the subject or character at hand, or the person is somehow claiming objectivity. Don't get me wrong, being objective in any subject is almost always the aim of a person that argues a stance, but it is not feasible because no one person is capable of being objective one hundred percent. They always have some bias that plays with their message. There is a bias that I have against the Lannisters and other characters. I know that Tywin was made as an inspiration of Edward Longshanks, but I feel that there is a rebuke that GRRM put into his character. That being don't violate Machiavelli's principle to avoid incurring hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I may be a little overzealous in my defense of Daenerys but a lot of this is due to the fact that the hate she gets around here is just completely ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolves Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I try not to be biased in my love onwards the Starks and Targaryens or my hatred of all things Lannister. Sometimes I am sometimes I'm not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCon's Red Beard Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I'm negatively biased against Robert. I admit he's not a bad man, and I suppose some people might find him funny and entertaining but he's, for me, the main cause of many wrongs. Since his stupid and superficial love for Lyanna which entitled him to go and kill Rhaegar and allow Tywin getting away from butcher the Targaryen kids, until his laziness in ruling and being a bad husband which caused a rupture between him and Cersei that developed into full hatred that caused his doom.

kn1tt3r Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I'm also biased of course, but not necessarily towards "good" characters. I don't have personal symphathy or apathy against anyone, but there are certain characters I find intriiguing and interesting, like Roose Bolton or Theon for example. Those are certainly not the nicest guy, but I root for them due to their interesting characters. I really don't get it when someone says something like "How can you like this douchbag Theon? Have you forgotten how he betrayed the Starks?" - Well, of course I haven't, but that's part of why I like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh. I'm not exactly a fan of Robert either, but Aerys calling for his head is what eventually caused the death of Rhae-Rhae, and I wouldn't blame Tywin's desire to ingratiate himself with the Throne on Robert either. As a King though, pure garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
