When Maisie Williams laughed out loud over the Arya sex scene in the final season of GOT.

Are you sure? Going off memory, I think I remember reading an article, something like, she wanted a sex scene for Arya?

Arya wouldn’t have sex?

Honestly; age issues aside, probably not. She's such a broken singleminded person by then, I don't think she's capable of that kind of intimacy. She's enormously traumatuzed, no one in her life since her mother died has shown her any sort of physical affection, even something as simple as a hug; and her training as a Faceless Assassin is designed to completely dehumanize her.

Yeah, broken people never have sex. This feels like a weird take.

It's almost like that was only one of many contributory factors.

It's the desperate need by the GOT haters to oppose everything about the show.

Arya is the most level headed Stark.
She hasn’t had a story that focused on intimacy before and Gendry was a connection strong enough for people discussing them throughout the entire run of the series.
People tend to say the same thing about Sansa and it comes across that people equate trauma with asexuality when plenty of people who have faced trauma also have sexual desire after the trauma.

That's book Arya. Show Arya is much less psychotic.

Didn't she request that the scene be written?

God that scene was so god damn unnecessary, It was so awkward. Between Gwen and Arya it felt like Dumb and Dumber realized we haven't had literally every single female character fucking on set and made sure to fix that in fell swoop.

Once Arya returned to Winterfell all her scenes were awkward
