Opinion | Mikki Kendall: What Arya's sex scene in 'Game of Thrones' got right about young women and sex. - NBCNewsTHINK
If there was ever a primer for depicting first-time sex in speculative fiction in the era of #, it was broadcast on HBO on Sunday night in a show about dragons and the undead best known for its rape scenes.In the second episode of season eight of “Game of Thrones,” we are reminded that young Arya Stark isn’t just a killer of all those who have harmed her family. She’s also a young woman with a crush — on her friend Gendry — who has a chance to act on it before what she assumes will be her death.
It’s true that this scene veered heavily away from the standard depictions of teen sexuality: After all, media tropes around the first time that young women have sex tend to feature an idea that they are consenting to the approach of a serious boyfriend, are being victimized by someone older. Fan reactions have been mixed; some are absolutely on-board because they’ve been waiting for this payoff for the last several years. Others have responded with disgust because they see Arya as eternal children and seeing a young woman having sex, let alone sex on her own terms and as a result of desire, feels jarring. They compare her to their own siblings or children without seeming to recognize that her experience in this moment is one that would be good for their loved ones too.
