bro, I'm glad there are people like you out there. I wrote something about this feminist propaganda earlier. It just appear that most viewers are blind to these themes all they care about is dragons whitewalkers and other bullshít. Game of Thrones is currently the most powerful literature in the whole world right now and all the western feminists want is to use it to push their agenda and men just close their eyes to the whole bullshít, worse of it all, western beta males on Twitter are even cheering the men relegation to please women. I just weak

I am really beginning to get irritated by the extreme leftist feminism propaganda in Game of thrones. It's even more glaring in this season. Unlike the positive feminism which seeks to empower women, create socio-ecomonic and socio-political equality among the sexes, and excise negative stereotypes about women which are born from sexist and misogynistic roots, the extreme leftist form of feminism seeks not just to empower women but to demasculinized men in the process. This toxic form of feminism seeks to weaken men and make women their masters. If you pay close attention to the recent episodes of game of thrones you'll notice how this theme has coloured the show.

All the powerful characters currently remaining in the show are all women. The only powerful male character bent the knee and surrendered his power to a woman. I honestly cannot think of a male character that embodies what the ideal should man represents: Strong, morally upright, industrious and noble. All the men who possess this traits are either castrated(to represent demasculinization), very old, disabled, outcasts or a dwarf. Contrast this with powerful female characters like Danny, Sansa, Arya, Brienne, Yara and even Lady mormont. The only powerful male character that fits this mould is REGULARLY demeaned by everyone, either for his height, his heritage or the fact that he knows nothing.

This last episode was just so irritating in terms of how the feminist bullshit was shoved in our faces. Jamie lannister, a man, is judged by two powerful women who occupy high moral grounds. He is only allowed to live when another powerful woman vouches for him, laying emphasis on the fact he lost his arm trying to protect her from rapists. Jeez.
Then you have the rude little mormont girl who is given too much talk time even in situations where more experienced male members of the council should talk.

There is also Brienne and her little bitch Podrick. That dude is a grown man and yet he's pushed around by a woman like he's her slave or something.

I could go on and on.

Hard copy right? If Yes, pls hold on a little. Still checking to see if I can get them somewhere within the country for a reasonable price before I order for Pre-owned copies on eBay.

There's this new growing Nigerian bookstore on IG called rovingheights. There's a 90% chance they'll have the complete set but I'm not ready to support GRRM with all my life savings just yet.

You can explore that option though if price doesn't faze you at all.

Did anyone see what is brewing between theon and sansa?

Ksslib:

Thank you for this. It begins to put things into perspective for me.

I know those books are dammmmn good & detailed - one of the reasons I want to read all. However, considering the show is at Season finale already, do you think it'll be wise to go back in time & read them with all the spoilers I now know?

I'm still contemplating if it'll be enjoyable , without that anti-climax feel , since I already kind of know what will happen.

Has anyone here ever watched a Movie/show and went back to read the books and still THEOUGHLY enjoyed it?

Bro, it's a series (or movie if you prefer that). If you are hell bent on looking for something wrong with it, you'll definitely see it.

For example when Joeffery was manhandling Sansa or when Ramsey raped Sansa, why did you write something about male dominance? why didn't you write something then when women couldn't be knights, or when Arya couldn't get her wish but had to succumb to the wishes of Ned to marry a highborn lord when she gets older. Why wasn't there outcry from you when Danywas sold to Khal Drogo? Why didn't you complain the ladies acting as whores were use anyhow by the men for their pleasure.

I said it before and I'll say it again, game of thrones is not for everybody. If you can't enjoy this lovely series for the way it is then go back and play ludo.
Sometimes I get infuriated when people raise stupid issues.
Sit down, download the series, watch it and enjoy. If it makes you angry because of some perceived nonsense, then delete it from your phone and never watch again. FINISH!

even South African drug pushers get mind to dey watch GOT instead of being on alert for police and immigration services busting them

I did that with Harry Potter. I didn't regret it. Same with game of thrones. I started reading the books after season 5.

There are so many things the show/movie won't explain. That's what the book is for. It's like eating fried rice all over again, but this time with salad.

Because a story is beautiful doesn't mean you should just enjoy it and forget the underlying fervors.
When I was in secondary school I read Purple Hibiscus by Adichie I enjoyed the images and story so much that I read it over and over again but getting the university to study literary criticism, I read it again and then I saw the underlying messages of how men are monsters and how innocent women fall victims to male brutality.
The fact that Ramsey raped Sansa still serves to promote the metoo movement and the stereotype that males are sexually predators and aggressors.

The whores in the film does not in any way suggest male dominance there are whores everywhere thousands of girls move willingly into brothels monthly none of them are forced into it. Go to the nearest hotel / motel to you and confirm for yourself. Prostitution is not in anyway female oppression.
Cersei is my favorite character, when she was crowned queen, did anyone complain?
I think you should go to Twitter and see for yourself what feminists are saying about the " fúck tradition" by Tormound.
When you read a book like Beyond the Horizon you will probably enjoy the story but that doesn't mean there are no underlying messages in simple funny rather seemingly casual conversation

TheKingIsHere:


You have a valid point and the feminist issh is now everywhere, in movies, TV series and even in real life.

However, I disagree with you that Jon snow bent a knee because of feminist agenda.

Jon snow bent a knee to save his people. Initially, he refused to bend a knee but had to succumb in order to protect his people since danny has 3 dragons and the strongest army. In this recent episode, Jon told Danny his true story which gives him more right to the throne than Danny. So no feminist agenda here but the rest you pointed out is true and obvious

LeSulk:


Movies/series adjust their themes to be socially and politically correct.

If you re-watch an early 2000s movie, you'll see them mocking homosexuals. It will be suicide for any movie to try it now.

Even earlier than that, movies used to have white supremacist themes. But now, if you cast a white guy in a role suited for an Asian , your movie will be poorly received e.g Dragonball Evolution, Noah's Ark and The Last Airbender.


Early GoT seasons were criticised for gratuitous nudity and marginalization of women. If you notice, both have been toned down as the seasons went by. No critic actually cares that both themes were very common in Medieval Times (which GoT is loosely based on).


Like one poster rightly said all feminine characters of Power (bar Sansa IMO) were slowly built up to where they are today.

But the showrunners now want to ruin the plausibility of the show by making some hitherto clever characters act like buffoons and vice versa so they can be politically correct. JK Rowling made that mistake by whipping out from nowhere, the fact that Dumbledore was gay. She's still recovering from that backlash.

What I'm saying is: it's good to see the feminine characters stand up get counted but the male characters shouldn't suffer for it.

meforkene:


Importantly, I want to fully enjoy the series as I am now. No need searching for messages cos if you search, you must find. Enjoy it.

Sasquatch:

Seriously "western beta men", so I guess you are the alpha male, congrats, you definitely have a misconstrued notion of what a man should be
Call me crazy but if you threatened by a woman being more powerful than a man, then you are not a man

lilbest4:
calling western males betas is out of maximum respect for the male gender or should I say sheer generosity

You can still be strip off the title of Knight bro. If the King don't trust you or doesn't want you.

Refrence ; Ser Barristan Selmy was a knight who served in the Kingsguard with distinction for almost forty years. He served in the Kingsguard of King Aerys II Targaryen, and later served as Lord Commander of the Kingsguard during the reigns of King Robert I Baratheon, and, for a short time, King Joffrey I Baratheon. After his public dismissal by Joffrey (an affront, as the Kingsguard is an irrevocable lifetime appointment), Ser Barristan, free of any vows, chooses to serve Daenerys Targaryen.
