Is anyone watching this?

I was a big fan of game of thrones, so I had to check this show out. So far it looks and feels just like GoT, but with a new story. Moderately interesting so far.

But a new actor is present in this series - feminist and woke propaganda. I don't recall it having more than a minor presence in GoT, but so far it keeps making visible cameos in HotD. Or maybe it was present in GoT but didn't notice it. Anyway.

Notice how the the princess Rhaenyra is a young woman who at first maybe seems to be a tiny bit tomboyish, but still looks feminine. They repeatedly reinforce how her and her father must be dutiful to their crown position. But she seems unhappy that she's a woman. They constantly revisit the issue of how even though her father named her heir to the iron throne, the kingdom wont accept her as a ruler "simply because she doesnt have a cock" and how men wont respect her when she eventually ascends the throne. She lives in fear and doubt that her male father wanted a son to name his heir, but he had to eventually settle for his daughter. When he eventually has a son, she worries the throne will be taken from her and given to her sibling with a cock.

Rhaenyra doesn't want to marry, which is her royal duty so she can produce heirs and continue the blood line. She says to a friend that she doesn't want to end up like her mother who "was made to keep making babies until it killed her" (shown in the first episode, very graphic child birth death, which set the stage for much female grievance and inequality to follow). Basically, she doesn't wanna be a baby gestation unit for a damn man. And I think that was preceded by someone saying how when a woman marries, they're locked in the castle and delegated to breeding, while men are still free to go fuck as they wish. There were a few other scenes and lines which drew specific comparison between a man and woman's ability to fuck who they want.

Rhaenyra is the stereotypical hollywood "strong woman". She's a female role model - strong despite being oppressed and underestimated, but without being woke.

Note that they're planting tons of "female grievance" seeds with all this.

In yesterday's episode they made sure to throw some incest into the show. Her uncle secretly takes her out for the evening, they drink a bit, he takes her to a pleasure house and seduces her by explaining to her that sex feels good for both woman and man while observing an orgy. Then he kisses her, and she kisses him back, and their incestual passion explodes. He pulls her pants down, and she wants it badly, but he withdraws, making her claw for him back, and then he finally runs off.

So now she's all horney and goes home, and fucks her dedicated bodyguard / knight in shining armor - soiling herself and ruining her princess virginity. While she's fucking the knight, the scene cuts back and forth between her fucking the knight, and the queen fucking the king. But the queen (who was her young friend, who then suddenly married her old dad) isn't happy fucking him. They showed a scene where she was sleeping, and was abruptly awoken in the middle of the night by a servant saying she was being summoned to the king. So she reluctantly did her wifely duties, and looked bored and unhappy while he fucked her. Sharp contrast to the princess whose enthusiastically fucking the man she desires, instead of the man she has a duty to. This is a strong message to young women IMO, and is designed to encourage sexual rebellion and promiscuity. And of course, the steaming hot incestual scene where she almost fucks her dads brother is total woker propaganda - anything that is sexually taboo or degenerate, they seek to promote and normalize.

Don't get me wrong - different cultural standards exist for men and women, especially sexual differences, and especially back in those days. But I know the real reason they put so much focus on adding these little details into the story - it's focused propaganda, not some unbiased story. It doesn't feel overly blatant - I think they're going for stealth woke.

Anyone else notice this stuff? If you read the book, was this stuff present there too?

I refuse to buy, read, or watch any Martin products until Book 6 comes out, which is now about 11 years since the last title.

I know his career boomed late, but I DGAF at him promoting his lesser known friends and don't give two shits about his theater or whatever else he is up to.

Dude was a COVID shut in, his precious theater was closed, he went to an isolated location and saw nobody and stopped attending every movie and comic festival, and STILL didn't finish the book he had 9 years to write before COVID began. Seriously, if he just wrote about 100 pages a month during COVID he'd be done, and no bullshit about his creativity. Guy wrote for TV back in the 80s, he knows deadlines, he could do it if he wanted. 3 fucking pages M-F with the Weekends off during the lockdown.

Being a dick about it was fine for the first few years after the fifth book and the series. Now he's just being a petulant, ungrateful asshole.

Meanwhile he's coauthored countless short story collections, edited them, worked on TV and Movie plots, and put out thousands upon thousands of pages of bullshit, both actual books, stories, and appendixes.

This is why artists deserve to starve and only be known later. If it was only bringing in a living, betcha ass the 6th book would have been years ago.
