>"Since its airing in 2011, Game of Thrones has ridden an amazing wave of popularity."
>"For some, this is a relatively problematic occurrence. A show which features narratives of incest, rape, and the attempted murder of small children—all in its first episode—asks a lot of its viewers. I wondered, “Well is this it? Is the show, and the novels crafted by George R. R. Martin which inspire it, so focused on the suffering of its female characters that it has nothing else to say?” It’s possible that as we enter the show’s penultimate season, and as we draw ever closer to its highly anticipated conclusion, that we are finally beginning to see through the bleakness of Game of Thrones towards a more female-centered future. Interestingly, by analyzing the story arcs of its female characters, as well as the violent nature of their survival in Westeros, we can see a narrative which has used the physical and mental abuse of women to empower the rise of a new matriarchy."
>"The Death of Westeros Patriarchy"
>"As reproduction is the central cause for the unrest in Westeros, one can read the initial plight which befalls the world as the first slight against the female body. Further, while Robert can be blamed for his philandering, his death before the actual fight for the Iron Throne transfers the weight of his transgressions to the female characters. Suddenly, Cersei must protect her name and the honor of her children. Sansa is quickly offered to Joffrey ( Jack Gleeson) as a means to extend the Lannister heirs. Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley) is thrust into the role of protector of her house."
>"This might seem as an egregious slight on what it means to be a woman in Westeros, but as we come to learn, this is merely a surface reading of what is at work in this world. The patriarchy has only created a “perceived order”, one which has been slowly crumbling beneath the weight of its male corruption."
>>
Missed another good quote
>"The vacuum and the subsequent scramble for power following the death of the king— The War of the Five Kings—leads to the end of many of the patriarchal houses and the rise of a female led revolution. The moment the women of Westeros begin to rise, the old gods are evoked, dragons fly again, proving that the sins of the male oligarchy are what has brought the long winter to the world. Its destruction is the necessary change Westeros has had to accept in order to survive. What has played out over the span of six seasons, and what we come to learn at the start of the seventh, is that the physical and emotional violence endured by these women are as a result of a society desperately clinging to the failing system of patriarchal dependence."

as a feminist I am truly empowered when I see that it's a female monarch ordering the brutal retaliatory zombie rape of a nun
truly a better realm when the brutal oppressor of the people has a va-jay-jay

They already got rid of 2, Yara and Sand Mom.

Its not surprising.
Things happen in fiction which would never happen in real life.

Well, women are completely incapable of being evil, unlike "men".

I dont think I even want WoW to come out now
What if fatass just decides to cash the fuck in and goes with D&D's shit

It seems like this season they are diverging from the brutality of Westeros in order to appease the screaching harpies that whined about last season.
>>
Well I liked the part in season 1 when King Robert punched Cersei and told her to stfu.
>>
Cersei is the best feminist icon that the show presents, but because she's the evil queen, nobody wants to admit it.
>shitty, whoring husband from a forced marriage turned her into a bitter cunt
>she seeks revenge for even the mildest offenses even when it serves to ruin her
>her biggest moves blows up in her face and she's completely embarassed in front of nobles and commoners alike
>makes friends with a clever man who has resources
>leans on her brother to do her bidding
>fucking demolishes the capital city and its stability to rule with an iron fist because that's the only way she knows how to demonstrate and maintain power
The best part is Cers is still totally into her brother and isn't giving some kind of "fuck men" speech during every scene. She's got her eye on the prize, whatever it is at the time, and is going for it. The rest of the female leaders are either stumbling into positions of power out of luck and/or birthright (Dany, Yara/Asha), pulled some treasonouse, pussyass shit to become ruler (Ellaria), relied solely on men and didn't do much actual work of their besides being there (Sansa), or are cartoonishly overpowered (Arya). Queen of Thorns is the only other great female character and the only one who should be railing on about muh stronk wymyn.

Is this show just a trojan horse for feminism?
All of the male kings are dying (many killed by women). All of these women have a harem of male advisors who are completely obedient.
In this latest episode one of the last male kings leaves and gives over his throne to a woman (with a submissive male lackey).

Crazy how Jon went from the hero of Reddit to our only hope because he dares to stand up to Sansa

I can't wait for poopmatters.com latest stinkpeice when /ourguy/ Euron kills the matriarchy

If anything it often exposes feminists' complete disregard for the male gender.
>women get raped, humiliated or beaten sometimes
>men get murdered or torn apart almost every episode
>m-muh vaginas!
I'm not saying bad things don't happen to women in GoT, take Shireen for example, but when people (feminists) compare Sansa and Reek/Theon and conclude that Sansa has had a worse time and somehow deserves more sympathy I'm left more than a bit speechless.
That said it's just a show and they're just characters. In 5-10 years time none of this will matter to anyone really.

>>85490490
what I liked about the books was the angle that Cersei is basically a stupid cunt with an overblown ego and the second she faces issues requiring actual political acumen she gets outplayed like a little girl by people she doesn't even consider close to being equals
This is good writing and the best thing about AFFC
D&D's shit is paper thin fanservice for retarded politically driven 20 somethings

He bends the knee to Dany later in the season. Does it in private first, which Dany accepts and keeps secret for the time being, and again at the Dragon Pit in KL in front of all the major players after they show off the wight.
Once again Dany wins without having to try because people want to fuck her..

>But just as the Mother of Dragons’ queendom was beginning to look like a cockless feminist utopia, in swung Euron of House Douchebro, King of the Fuckbois, Protector of the Patriarchy. And of course he arrived on a long, phallic plank.
>Euron’s arrival interrupted what would have second penis-free sexual encounter—a “foreign invasion”—between the rightful queen of the Iron Islands and the mother of the Sand Snakes, bringing unwanted and brutish violence to the episode. These savage, gore-heavy scenes are the worst part of Game of Thrones, and this one was no exception.
>For a moment though, before Urine Joystick/Eurin Mysnatch slid into our DMs, we got a glimpse of that sensual, euphoric, pussy-powered society. Game of Thrones’ women and castrated men have shown that you don’t need a penis to lead. Maybe someday America will understand that, too.

Euron already wacked too many named characters and is cartoonishly evil similar to Ramsey. He will be propped up like a strawman and chopped down just as quick. I do love him though.

>>85491015
If you really think that, you're watching the wrong show

I like Euron (because he's literally the last male king left in the fucking show) but he's subserviant to cersei so who fucking cares anymore?

>Once again Dany wins without having to try
Why hasn't this bitch learned to fight? She has had full access to some of the great fighter of her time, but would rather stand around like a mine with stage fright than not depend on dragons or body guards. Hell, even the enoch and the imp haven't put as much work into her political as Shireen did for Davos.

How is it surprising? That shit is a fantasy soap. 80% of its audience is female. If you're a male and watch this garbage you need to off yourself.

>Cersei and Dany start wars and kill people all for their narcissistic dreams of sitting on a cold metal chair

No, this was a show watched by males aged 20-50ish until women decided it was theirs like they do with all great male inventions and hobbies.

He just acts like a cuck. Well, he totally is a cuck, but he's a spiteful little cuck and not what I'd call submissive.
