All the fucking categories. Billionaire - Lives in Whitefish, techbro, hedge funder. Alleged to have assaulted many, many women. Alleged to have ordered security to kill people. Owns an international private security firm. Could not get security clearance with the gov because of abuse allegations. Is that billionaires thread still up?

Of the ones I actually know some make sense. On the other hand, though, for instance one of the reason people I know hated last-season Daenerys was because she felt like a bad stereotype. To have her go from ruthless liberator to wanton killer in a moment without even any dialog seemed less like a culmination and more like saying “wait we forgot, bitches with power be cray”. That might not be the same worry for male characters but I’m not sure I’d consider that objection sexism per se.
