one does not simply warg into Hodor
OK, apparently ghostofharrenhal said Bran wasn’t a good person for warging into Hodor, and got a lot of weird anons calling her out. And, y’know, I get that people are defensive of Bran. I love him too. He’s an innocent kid. He doesn’t know what he’s doing is wrong… but that doesn’t make it not wrong.
What’s the exact difference between a bad person, and a good person who does bad things, after all? (This is one of the major themes of ASOIAF, if you haven’t picked up on that so far, as well as the definition of “bad” and “good”, but anyway.) Philosophers and ethicists may debate the point, but to me it comes down to intent, the repetition of the bad thing, and the results. And Bran is treading way over the line, unfortunately.
I’ve hinted around this in the last couple posts I made about Bran, but I’m going to lay it all out right now. Warning, spoilers for ADWD and parts of ASOS follow. (Also, idk if I should warn for triggers? But there may be triggering things ahead.)
