And that's just it: there's absolutely nothing wrong with having a character who's an avatar of divine horror. Melisandre does not need a redemption arc, nor does any individual character. This isn't a character problem, it's a story problem. And not even that, it's a stories problem.

Similarly, there is nothing wrong with a hero being a straight male white guy. Nothing. But it's the bigger picture, the forest from the trees, that you have to look at.

When (almost) every story is about a straight white guy, in a society made up of lots of other types of people, and meanwhile all those other types of people only get to be one-dimensional props in the straight white guy's story, how is that fair? Why doesn't everyone else in that society get to have stories of heroes that are like them?

Who killed the Night King?
