But Tyrion doesn't know Joffrey is a total monster, he just knows Joffrey is an annoying, self-important brat. I don't know. Rationally, I know that slapping people is not cool and that Tyrion slapping Joffrey is just as unacceptable as Robert slapping Cersei. Emotionally, I cheered in both cases because if anyone ever deserved to get that slap, it's Cersei. I'm cool with emotional responses not being rational, I just wish people would acknowledge that; it just bothers me when people pretend that rationally Tyrion's action was completely acceptable and Robert's wasn't.
Anyway, it's just one example and we can always argue about examples. It just cracks me up when people go all self-righteous about "domestic abuse" while cheering about Tyrion slapping his nephew.
