For a long time on "Game of Thrones," there was speculation that Maisie Williams' Arya Stark was a part of the LGBTQ+ community and that speculation existed within Williams herself, too.
In fact, she admitted to Teen Vogue in a new interview, "I thought Arya was queer, you know...
There were several reasons people were uncomfortable with the scene, not the least of which was the fact Williams was 15 when the show began, making the whole thing just feel a bit icky.
On top of that, Arya had developed into one of the most badass characters on television, regardless of her sexuality
And despite the fact that "Game of Thrones" was an obnoxiously sexed-up show, Arya had managed to steer clear of that through her dark and dangerous journey.
While her sexuality was never in question, Arya always stood out from her sister Sansa (Sophie Turner) because she was so different in every way
An unabashed tomboy, she had no interest in the feminine trappings of society, shirking them at every opportunity.
Arya was strong, independent and fearless across the show's run becoming one of the show's most popular characters.
In other words, the sex scene was totally unnecessary, superfluous and served nothing for her character arc.
Arya Stark not being a powerful lesbian is the LEAST believable thing in this show about zombies and dragons," wrote one fan, per the outlet.
