Fans Are Saying That The Latest Death In 'Game Of Thrones' Was 'Racist'

Just so we're clear, there are going to be spoilers for Season 8, Episode 4 of the greatest HBO show in like 10 years.

Except maybe Ja'mie: Private School Girl, that was a good one.

The fourth episode, 'The Last Of The Starks', has been divisive amongst fans. Some like it fine, some like it not at all and some like it hot. Or maybe that's just Marilyn Monroe.

Apparently... the show was being racist. That's a huge thing to lay on a TV series, especially in this day and age. However, they might have a good reason for it.

We get closure for some dead characters, we discover there was a Starbucks in Winterfell and we get to see some Greyjoy ships doing what they do best. Destroy other ships.

Missandei of Naath was slaughtered by the Mountain.

And all so that Cersei could make a point. Hold back your tears, dear reader, we must all get through this together.

One fan tweeted: "Cersei didn’t get a single tear out of Missandei. She has been through so much only to be killed this way. Nobody come near me I’m so sad."

Another fan tweeted: "Missandei's story is what happens when the writers cannot imagine a world where Black characters are fully developed so...not surprised."

Another fan went on to say: "The saddest thing about Missandei's death is that now Gray Worm cannot take her to the islands of Naath as he had promised" Aw... that's... so sad.

They've commented on her chains, the fact that she was a former slave, all pretty problematic situations to put a black character into. And they're blaming the creators, who are two white guys.

She was killed off pretty quickly and having a black character as a slave does seem pretty old fashioned.

And having so little African-American characters, killing one so unceremoniously is pretty lame.

People think that fans should be used to losing some of their favorite characters, I mean it is Game Of Thrones after all. We lose characters all the time.

Who remembers Xaro Xhoan Daxos? He was an established merchant who controlled the city of Qarth! Sure, he got locked in a vault, but it was because he was being a... well, jerk.

Like I said, it is, in fact, the show that kills off characters left, right and center. I mean, remember how cool Robb Stark was? Sure you do, he was one of the best.

In a world more divided than ever, we should do our best to come together over things we can enjoy.

Have your opinions, everyone is entitled to them, but depending on which way you go don't ruin it for others.

Do you think the episode was racist? Or do you think everyone is overreacting? Personally, I have a very detailed and nuanced opinion about the whole affair, and it goes like th—
