HBO’s ‘Game of Thrones’ Prequel Will Explore ‘Internalized Misogyny’ and ‘Patriarchy’

HBO’s upcoming series House of the Dragon — the highly anticipated prequel series to Game of Thrones — will bring woke gender politics to novelist George R. R. Martin’s universe by exploring “internalized misogyny,” the “patriarchy,” and other feminist tropes.
The new series follows the relationship between two women — Alicent Hightower and Rhaenyra Targaryen — who are close friends as children but who become adversaries as adults.
In an interview with Indiewire, one of the stars explained the show’s feminist spin.
“House of the Dragon really creates a nuanced conversation of misogyny,” actress Milly Alcock told Indiewire.
“We don’t only explore it through a level of women being shut down and the patriarchy, but also go in-depth about the internalized misogyny that women are constantly faced with, and the competitiveness. Alicent and Rhaenyra’s relationship is at the forefront of that conversation.”

Caught a whiff of this from earlier interviews. I won't be watching this or the Lord of the Rings trash from Amazon.

Maybe one day they will realize their audience is NOT their industry and media peers. Saying this stuff out loud rather than letting the theme speak for itself is just pure virtue signaling

So exactly as the first series did(until everything about the series and characterizations went to shite in the later seasons)....

I guess I’ll give the pilot a shot but I don’t have high hopes at all for this
Every article that comes out makes me want to not even bother

Is this Hollywood talk for bitches be crazy and fighting each other? Of course they blame it on a man, couldn't possibly be their own fault.

Waiting for the "give it a chance first" crowd to chime in...

Enjoy the show, you creepy male feminists!

Flying dragons are real but Misogyny and Patriarchy isn't acceptable.
What a time to be alive.

The end of game of thrones was very ffeminized.
Sansa and Arya get revenge on Littlefinger.
Arya kills the white walker king.
Brienne sleeps with Jamie.
Danaerys burns the city with her dragons.
Cersei is basically queen until she dies under rubble with Jamie.
All of the character building for the male characters was thrown in the dumpster for season 8. The female characters dominated the screen in all forms and I know it was intentional. Jon goes back to the wall, Jamie is a punching dummy and goes back to Cersei.
This news isn't surprising.

Lol, men are more likely to end up on the street, go to jail, drop out of school, be victims of violent crime, die in war.
They really dont want this. And i will not be watching this fricking garbage.

I wasn't planning on watching this. Now i am contemplating dropping HBO Max. It's just going to get worse.

They better have lots of tiddies to counteract. I'm a simple man.

Bring?
Sansa was raped by a man she was forced to marry literally because she was seen as property in a patriarchal society.
We saw the same themes in Daeny’s
Story as well.
This isn’t new.
