Arya Stark has made a lot of people uncomfortable.
The latest episode of ‘Game of Thrones’ had some really intense stuff happen. *SPOILERS UPCOMING* From Brienne being knighted, to Winterfell prepping itself for the White Walkers’ attack- this episode had it all.
In the midst of it all, Arya Stark’s gentle flirting with Gendry continues and eventually leads to both to them having sex.
She walks up to Gendry and basically says that since everyone’s about to die, she just wants to know how it feels.
The best reaction following the scene has to be Sophie Turner’s.

Arya Stark actor, Maisie Williams was also left disturbed, but for very different reasons.
We as desi kids know the feeling, there’s an intimate scene playing on TV and we’re sitting with our parents- suuuper awkward. Now let’s take that up a few hundred notches; imagine you’re IN that intimate scene. Well, that’s what Maisie has had to deal with.
if u feel uncomfortable just know that my mother and my step dad and my 2 sisters and my 4 brothers have all probably watched this too ahahakillmeehehe

But honestly, people being uncomfortable does not compare to Maisie’s actual family watching it.
dumb twitter: ugh watching her was like watching my sister
maisie: hush you nobodys, may ACTUAL FAMILY had to watch that https://t.co/YCjR53yfzJ

There were EXTREME opinions…
It was gross and a waste of the precious last few minutes of #GameofThrones Totally unnecessary scene. https://t.co/0Xc1MlqEwQ

But there were some staunch supporters of the scene.
To those shocked by Arya's lovemaking scene: isn't it refreshing to see a young woman owning her body & the choice to engage in consensual sexual activity? Grow up & 👏 for Arya's adulting we've had the privilege to see.
I see Ser Brienne & Arya on the thrown already. #GOT https://t.co/rY7kSPtXEw
