The Waif from season six of Game of Thrones may have annoyed viewers the way she acted to Arya (Maisie Williams), but actress Faye Marsay has been forced to quit social media after admitting she got “a lot of shit” after the role.
Because people can’t tell the difference between actors and their characters, apparently.
Marsay played the stick-waving assassin in the fifth and sixth seasons of Game of Thrones, notably stabbing Arya in the recent season. But Faye has now quit Facebook after receiving some online hate.
Speaking at a press conference, the actress revealed her dislike of social media since taking on the role, adding that some people want to know a little bit too much.
She said: “I got a lot of shit after Game of Thrones but people were also really nice.
“I’ve had people trying to figure out who I’m in a relationship with and all that shit.”
“I was a teenager in the ’90s. I didn’t get a mobile phone until I was 15, so for me, this shit scares me as well,” she said. “I remember the ’90s and nothing was that intrusive.”
In fact, Faye confessed to quitting Facebook over her worries about social media.
She added: “I’ve just come off Facebook three days ago. But I’ll go to check it and be like, ‘f**king hell, I’m not on that anymore’, and thank god I’m not. It’s terrifying, social media, it terrifies me.”
Maybe not as terrifying as getting stabbed by a Waif who wears the faces of dead people, but we see her point.

Sophie Turner slams Logan Paul for posting a disgusting video of a suicide victim
GOT star Sophie Turner has slammed Logan Paul for his ‘self-praising’ apology following the reaction to the sick video he uploaded to his channel showing a body hanging in a forest.
On Dec. 31, Paul posted a video entitled “We found a dead body in the Japans Suicide Forest…” for his 15 million subscribers, something he apparently thought they would want to see. The disturbing video shows him filming the body of a man hanging in the Aokigahara forest Japan — more commonly known as the Japenese suicide forest.
While they kept the face of the man blurred out, it didn’t stop Logan Paul from repeatedly zooming in on him and his various body parts, while commenting on what they were seeing.
Due to the severe backlash Paul received after uploading the video, he posted a statement of apology for his disturbing actions.

However, the actress blasted him for the ‘self-praising’ nature of his words and slammed him for ‘mocking’ the man who had taken his own life.
@LoganPaul You’re an idiot. You’re not raising awareness. You’re mocking. I can’t believe how self-praising your “apology” is. You don’t deserve the success (views) you have. I pray to God you never have to experience anything like that man did.

Other Celebrities also took to Twitter to criticize Paul’s video.
Breaking Bad actor Aaron Paul (no relation) wrote.
Dear @LoganPaul,
How dare you! You disgust me. I can’t believe that so many young people look up to you. So sad. Hopefully this latest video woke them up. You are pure trash. Plain and simple. Suicide is not a joke. Go rot in hell.

And there’s a whole heard of others too, including fellow YouTube stars, all with valid points.

Suicide is serious. People have lost loved ones, idols, hero’s, fans to suicide. Filming a video and mocking a victim is not raising suicide awareness. Laughing at the body of a poor depressed soul. I can’t believe the disrespect of the victim, their family, and your YOUNG fans.

Imagine if everyone who had power and massive influence used it for good? Please don’t let @youtube views alter your values and morals. Common sense over ad sense. Stay woke. Spread love. Encourage growth. ??❤️

Dear @LoganPaul,
When my brother found my sister’s body, he screamed with horror & confusion & grief & tried to save her. That body was a person someone loved.
You do not walk into a suicide forest with a camera and claim mental health awareness.

Two days into 2018 and people are figuring out that Logan Paul is the absolute worst. Off to an excellent start!

As for Logan, maybe next time you enter a Sacred Japanese Forest, you won’t think about documenting every single aspect of your life, but then again, after your given response, who knows.
