Let’s face it, GoT has gone over the top with the feminism

Hate to get political but it has a lot to do with the downfall of the show. All the female characters are now fan service to all of the “yaaaaaaaas” feminists. Sansa, Cersei, Daenerys, and now even Arya are unbearable, to the detriment of otherwise solid male characters.


I’m prepared for the downvotes

women rule, literally everywhere in Westeros

of course the bitchiness and pettiness dominates the plot (looking at you, Sansa and Dany)

Disagree. All the characters suffer from crap writing. Think about it. when was the last time Jamie and Tyrion were enjoyable characters?

Arya saying how Sansa was the smartest person she knows was cringe.

If you don't understand the significance females during the time of monarchs, then you fail at European history.

Pissed me off. Sansa is not as smart as she thinks she is. She’s not Littlefinger and she’s not Cersei.

That scene with Sansa and Tyrion was shite. Her little smartass remark to him about his cleverness was stupid. I’m sorry bitch, Tyrion doesn’t have a fricking human time machine. And two, way to try and start shite with the only Lannister/person in King’s Landing that treated her kindly.

Idk if you haven’t noticed yet, but this show isn’t following European history really at all anymore.

At least they didn’t ruin it with ugly black chicks like in Westworld

If game of thrones was started today at least half of the characters would be black

Actually feminism didn’t exist until lesbians made it up in the 70s

Back then they were more like talking property

It’s madness. Somehow all of sudden all of these women become clever, smart, tacticians, and strong rulers. For the most part all the men are portrayed as stupid, ill-advised, and are the brunt of “sticking their foot up their arse” jokes.

There have been any number of female leaders over the centuries. I'm not sure why people want to turn this into something. While a lot of the major characters are female, I don't feel that it's forced or contrived like the Ghostbusters remake or any of the other examples.

the only female character that has changed is Sansa

and yeah, she is a bitch now, but she has been raped, tortured, and manipulated for years now by multiple sociopaths

I think it is perfectly acceptable for her character to be a bit bitchy and weary towards others

How about in S6 when she patronizes Davos for “tricking a 8 year old” for recruiting 62 fighters while she failed to recruit any of House Glover’s men. I hated her at that point. And now all the smug look is just too much.

In totality, women have had a pretty rough go in GOT.

They are pretty forward still with treating women as nothing but sex objects and only purpose is to produce kids.

Captain Marvel had over the top feminism, but GOT is still playing it pretty true with a male dominated world.

The most loved character is a veritcally challenged white male and I am not talking about a dwarf.

Oh but it is. Every single major female character has rose to the top. What are the odds of that.

I hate political correctness. But I saw no extreme over the top feminism last night. Stop crying about shite that doesn't exist.
