Quotes by James Lowder  (?)

“The legends of heroic men protecting helpless women turn out to be lies and, worse, propaganda intended to encourage women to embrace their helplessness.”
James Lowder, Beyond the Wall: Exploring George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire

“Here’s where PTSD is particularly nasty. It isn’t really a “disorder” as modern medical experts understand it. It’s a shift in perspective. Being forced into Condition Black and being trained to live in Condition Yellow are both highly traumatizing. Both shift your worldview, often permanently. Both become hard-coded into personality, changing the individual in ways they never expected. Sometimes, amazingly enough, for the better.”
James Lowder, Beyond the Wall: Exploring George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire

“When minority or outcast characters exist in a story solely to teach lessons to members of the majority, it’s just one more way of seeing everything from the majority point of view.”
James Lowder, Beyond the Wall: Exploring George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire
