What are the most contentious subjects on the forum?

So I've seen several fire storms on this forum recently so I thought of putting them together. The ones I know:

- Anything that puts Dany in a bad light. Start a thread on the fact that Dany will undoubtedly kill fAegon in cold blood and will be seen as an usurper by Westeros and as such hated by almost everybody? Well you just got yourself the mother of all fire storms (get it? Cause she's the mother of fire breathing creatures).

- Extra points for anything about Dany with the slavers. There always seem to be some people who think slavery should have remained as it was and others that think Dany did it all perfectly without a single mistake. So the fire storm here reaches Civil War levels.

- Anything that puts Jon in a bad light. Say that nothing of what he is doing at the Wall is exactly simple and that there are no easy or fully coorect answers? That kinda of nuance is way too much for the Snowaboo's

- Anyone suggesting anything bad about the wildlings. It's fascinating how many people don't seem to agree on the simple fact that wildlings are in fact a culture predicated on raping, raiding and murdering.

- Tyrion and Sansa's wedding. Boy does this light up like a truck of dung based fertilizer.

- Tywin's strategies and methods. However horrifying one of his actions are there are still people defending them and however practical others are there are still people saying he should have been more honorable.

- Jaime killing Aerys. I'd say more but then @Lord Varys would have to intervene and explain why Jaime is a monster.

- Anything to do with Rhaegar basically. Either he's Jesus Christ or he's literal Satan.

- Renly. Everything from his personality to his competence and most of all his decision to crown himself King will lead to a fire storm the size of his gayness

- Basically everything Cat does. It's almost as if she is written as a very flawed character designed to make mistakes but n a way that always stays true to her character.

- Aegon. I'll just put what @Miss_Saffron said here: It will inevitably devolve into a litany of all his faults, predictions that the depths of his incompetence would be rivaled only by the depths of his tyranny, and that he'll either run himself into the ground before Dany steps a foot into Westeros or will fall flat on his face like a noob as soon as she breathes in his direction. Pointing out that he is clearly meant to be an antagonist for Dany and therefore neutering him as quickly and as completely as many would want makes for a weak and boring plot act means you're just Aegon's shill.

- Arya. She is either worse then Ramsay or she is a saint that definitely hasn't killed an innocent man that just wanted to escape from an unjust life sentence.

- The Dance. Almost everybody here is pro black for some reason, even if the 2 sides are morally and legitimacy wise almost perfectly balanced as all thing should be, but there are enough pro Greens to make all Dance related discussions a dragonfire storm of whataboutism.

That's the ones I know. Feel free to point out more and I'll edit them in. For the record this is not a thread for debating said contentious subjects as the mods have had to block many discussions on said subjects from how long they are, so merging them together is the worst idea ever. Rather this is a thread for cataloging every subject that really seems to trigger this forum. So anyways what other topics have been known to badly trigger people here?
