JonCon's Red Beard Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Admittedly there were other characters that could have been gay. *don't say Remus* *don't say Remus* *don't say Remus* *don't say Remus* *don't say Remus* *don't say Remus* *don't say Remus* *don't say Remus* *don't say Remus* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forever May Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Theon has feminine traits? What a bunch of block headed anvil brains. And if you think dressing in nice clothes is what it takes to make a gay man, then you are almost certainly quite clearly building walls around an insecurity that is hiding something. Almost probably, you're completely gay. Frankly, I could see Victarion as being a homosexual more than Theon, just to give you an idea. Why? Because Victarion is so convinced how things should be, that he is clearly afraid of the truth. And what truth is that? What doesn't he want to admit? It is clearly something he is afraid of. So why is he afraid? Because he believes it is wrong. I'd wager Martin thinks of Victarion as a total homo in denial. And that is what I am seeing a lot in this thread. But Theon, he's just a guy who likes to dress decently, for the sake of the gods... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisterhood without manners Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 The Others take this forum. The Others are gay. Well said! :laugh: And i would add, Gayness is in the other's eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonCon's Red Beard Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 LOL not a Remus/Sirius fan, I'm guessing? :lol: I like the pairing. And I liked them both, but I never considered them to be gay in canon, specially after Tonks. I can see why some assumed it, though. Even Cuaron and Thewlis made Remus gay in the movie.

They didn't "officially" make him gay, but both Cuaron and Thewlis decided he should portray Remus as a "gay junkie". http://www.nerve.com/news/movies/david-thewlis-plays-his-harry-potter-character-as-a-gay-junkie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protar Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Theon's "obsession" with being well dressed isn't a feminine thing, it's a nobility thing. Most of the nobles in Westeros dress extravagantly. Even in the more subdued north they like a bit of bling. It's only in the Iron Islands where it's seen as inappropriate. This wasn't to hint at Theon being feminine but to show how ill-fitted he is to Ironborn culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean he dresses according to his mood, when he thinks about joing the night's watch his first thought is "do I have enough black clothes?" when he thinks he's about to die he's like "if i'm gonna die, I gotta wash up cause there's no way my hair will look like this when I go down" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or could be compensation, a way to prove he's not some hostage but he's noble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arya Weinergaryen Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 To the OP,I'm confused as to why you care so much about what other people think about a fictional character's sexual orientation. Also, I'm not sure why you think that your interpretation of a character is "cannon." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewolfStark Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 In the next episode: Tywin Lannister wasn't a communist. But... he redistributed the wealth of the Tarbecks and Reynes! :DI'm sorry, but I just couldn't resist it---too funny not to. :cool4: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it happens a lot of the POV's we get a look into a more spartan in their dress code, but Tyrion for example dresses pretty extravagantly.

protar Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 maybe,but are they as obsessed with it as Theon? I doubt it... That's a bit of a subjective point though. We don't see inside their heads but I mean look at Tywin for example - one of the manliest men in Westeros and he wears some of the most ostentatious armour in the series.
