Everything depicted in the show seems to go completely against what they believe, especially the portrayal of women. Women are pretty much nothing but sex objects in that show.

And yet, if they find some videogame with a female character showing off the smallest amount of skin, they totally lose their shit over it. Doesn't make sense to me.

Probably because groups are not collective hiveminds. I have known feminists who do not care for Game of Thrones for those reasons.

We're clearly not watching the same thing

Did you miss the huge storyline with Cersei--she was so similar to her twin brother that her father couldn't always tell them apart. Jaime was handed a sword, and Cersei was sold. Not because of who they were as people but how they were born.

“When we were young, Jaime and I, we looked so much alike even our father couldn’t tell us apart. l could never understand why they treated us differently. Jaime was taught to fight with sword and lance and mace, and l was taught to smile and sing and please. He was heir to Casterly Rock, and l was sold to some stranger like a horse to be ridden whenever he desired.”

There's a lot of deep material that gets into strong women characters, and the listen shitty way women have been treated. And despite the treatment it also has a large cast of strong women characters.

It's way rapey for me and I also understand people not watching it for their own reasons. But there is a lot to be said for women on GoT being portrayed in a positive manner, even if their treatment is deplorable

And it's fucking fiction

Funny you should probably cry about it being unrealistic in it's female depictions and how it's forced diversity.

yeah let's recap, the show has turned every female character into a queen (dany, yara, sand, cersei, sansa) to the point where women rule the whole visible world. and just killed all the ruling men.

I guess the dichotomy is that we get to see them naked for no reason anyway

The two most powerful people in the show are both queens and the person currently running the North is a woman.

Conservatives are the ones more likely to hate the show.

They hate women and minorities and both are in positions of power which terrifies conservatives.

Yeah Game of Thrones pretty much went pure SJW pandering now that the books have ended. Literally no more sex scenes and women dominate pretty much every kingdom now.

Um...

Um...

Aside from it being a straw man argument, there's a substantial difference between Game of Thrones and depictions of women being overly sexualized in media like video games (which is what people have complained about). Look at Brienne of Tarth and her armor compared to the things TC is claiming people are upset over.

Plenty of feminists had plenty to say about GoT - I dunno wtf you're talking about.

tbh, they bitch about a lot of the treatment of women non-stop but the thing panders heavily to women by putting them into unrealistic roles of power. (Lady Olenna, one of my favorite characters, being the most realistic depiction on the show.)

There has been an obvious shift to pander SJWs after the book material has ended. Without adding too many spoilers, Cersei/Sansa/Yara/Aarya/Sand Snake lady getting certain roles were given after the source material ended. Also since the source material ended (After Jon snow scene) we have had no sex scenes outside of one with glorified foreplay only pleasuring a woman as the person didnt have male parts attached..lol...

The last season with book material constantly had SJWs crying over the Ramsay type scenes, now as soon as the book ends the show caters to them? Yea ok...

It's been 2 years since the show passed the books. And almost 7 years since the last book came out.
