> Thinking about how all the other characters’ flaws aren’t seen as defects but as explanations while Jon’s flaws are seen as reasons why he deserved everything he got and more. Which sucks because if he had a single person who ACTUALLY didn’t think of him as a monster, because fuck you Martin was just as if not more disgusted by him, I probably wouldn’t be this adamant about defending him. Because it wouldn’t be a clear cut case of victim-blaming. And I know I’ve said this same shit before but you’ll hear it again and again until I die.

Thinking about this again and specifically about the rhetoric that the reason they dogpile on Jon even prior to the reveal that he was going after people to feed on them was due to the stress they were under and using him as an outlet due to his place in the hierarchy. Cause like. You could also say that Jon was being a dick to Martin due to the stress HE was under and while it’s ‘worse’ because Martin is his underling, it’s still a case of him making snide comments about his performance and NOT about his humanity that y’all are touting as horrible enough to be dehumanized and tortured for.
