Giant's milk.
She thought I was a baby and suckled me to her teat...
Yea nothing as exciting as a bunch of sad sacks sitting around a fire contemplating how they can't win and are all going to die.
I'm almost tempted to root for the White Walkers just to see everyone on social media cry when their favorite retarded character gets killed.
The only two characters that have any personality at this point are Tyrion and Tormund.

There's no way Dani doesn't friendly fire Jon on purpose after they somehow beat the white walkers.
Honorable to a fault, should have kept the secret until after the battle. He never learns giving away unnecessary information is a recipe for death in this world.

This is my thought as well. You could see her snap that after her entire journey she still might not get the throne.

I wondered if it would go there. It might break some kind of special social justice warrior taboo. Like she can kill 100 men with poison at a feast, but not have consensual sex. It's like a 1980's action movie moral.
I have a character in one of my books that bounces around and gets raped, and kills the guy because she basically did not like it, then goes on to have tolerable sex with another guy who is another criminal and low life that she can't redeem. Then he runs off and says she is too dangerous to be around, and she hooks up with a pretty boy who was wounded and takes "care " of him. In my last scene she gets home and her family's castle is burned down, and the lord living there says she is free to do whatever she wants. She walks off and the same guy says to his soldiers, "watch her until she digs up some treasure, and then snatch her back up." And the pretty boy hears them and says, "you won't touch her, because she belongs to me now."
Imagine how many people will get squeamish, enraged, or just downright angry at a character like that. But think about how realistic it feels, in a fantasy setting. Arya kind of gets pigeon-holed in a lot of roles that are tropes, and the whole idea of her is that she breaks out of the tropes and becomes something unfamiliar.

Maisie Williams is 22, but she looks 13. That's probably why there's such a big stink about it.
She's had the hots for Gendry since the first season.
No one would have said anything bad if Sophie Turner had gotten naked.
The Sansa sex stuff has always felt a little odd as well, since in the beginning I think she identifies as being 14 but as the seasons have gone on the show has this weird time arc where it's hard to determine just how much time has passed.
There are numerous occasions of "She's just a girl!" when people have tried to aid her, but she essentially she gets sold off to ramsay bolton to be raped repeatedly.
