Where were all these people when the show started butchering characters in S1 already and went on to massacre them from S5? Was everything fine for them as long as Daenerys was the strong woman hero? What a bunch of dishonest hacks.
Isaiah Phillips
>implying normies understand academic texts
David Flores
Name one thing he said that was wrong.
Andrew Price
Who did they butcher in S1 besides Renly, Loras, and Littlefinger – three minor characters? Big ones like Dany were fine.
Brody Sanders
Yeah, those three to get started. It started small with those three, then in S2 the amount of characters affected grew. Stannis (biggest offender), Jaime at points, Qhorin, the characters in Qarth, etc. Some changes I understand, but Stannis is the worst offender.

He is reading into too much of that Jewish dribble to find some meaning to it, the correct perspective would be that this is nothing, but shitty Jewish capitalist product that is meant to make you stupid and content until you can consume another shitty Jewish capitalist product.
Jayden Evans
Thats because hes dedicated his entire life to creating meaning where there is none. Thats how pseuds operate
Henry Perry
ABSOLUTELY BASED ZIZEK AND RIGHT.
Jayden Miller
Holy fuck this is bad
Jaxon Cox
Also his points are literally fucking retarded. >wow just wow look how these men portray stonk woman This is just being anti male. By Zizeks logic no one can portray a woman who is legitimately crazy and lusts for power if you do you are bigot. Same thing with her soldiers, are brown people not capable of violence and cruelty how ridiculous to have to even ask. This is just bad analysis.
Jayden Price
Have sex, salty lobsters.
Wyatt Gutierrez
>>the critics were right when they pointed out that her descent into madness was psychologically not justified
This conclusion does not follow from this premise >>>Daenerys as the Mad Queen is strictly a male fantasy
Everything else in the OP is sophistry, it's basically on the same level as fan theories about what the characters do after the show ends. Just because someone has come up with a plausible explanation to something doesn't mean what they've said is insightful or reflects any reality in the work. It's coffee table talk.
Nathan Reed
The writers actually are retards and are too stupid to realize that this may have come off as looking sexist. Apparently you're dumber than they are, though. >hurr game of thrones bad >but when leftists say game of thrones bad game of thrones good
Jeremiah Price
Yeah, there you are you fuckin brainlet.
Hunter Lee
The show is over. All the drooling masses can do is stage shitty consumerist protests like boycotting the bluray sales which will be buried and forgotten as soon as the next big thing gets hyped up.
Hunter Cook
That is his wife. That pic is from a mexican celebrity magazine. He is a fucking sellout.
Nicholas Jenkins
Thank you for completely missing the point retard >hurr game of thrones bad >but when leftists say game of thrones bad game of thrones good It is bad, but not because of the reasons Zizek used. Thank you for proving again that leftists are just immature children.
Henry Perry
it doesn't come off looking sexist it comes off looking stupid
god i hate lefties
Connor Brown
He never criticized Cersei was a tyrant for example. Fuck off with your brainless straw-manning.
Gabriel King
>looking sexist either it is sexist (and whether that's bad or not is another debate) or it isn't, if people are retarded enough to project their brainlet premade critical system unto everything it should not be the authors problem (though in this case, they are retarded too). I believe Zizek hasn't watched the show and only read tidbits from the high IQ journalists of the current century.
Bentley Moore
Why do you faggots worship a lumpy potato who views everything through the lens of politics? A dozen types of critique, and these commies always use the feminist lens.
Colton Butler
are you retarded? that's from a parody account/website Zlazloj Zlizlek. myheartwillgoonandsoonandsoon.blogspot.com/ Slavoj didn't write that, the one who runs his parody account did.
Leo White
I thought he wasn't a retarded leftist. Guess not. Just like the rest. What is even the point in listening to someone make unjustified points about the Jewish writers being sexist?
If retarded writing was simply meant for females so that they would have bad ends then we would see Tyrion, Little Finger, Varys, Jon etc have such bad development and endings.
Joseph Lewis
Yet somehow Daenerys having a lust for power is outside of scope of not being male bigotry. Remember that all of her claims to power were feudalistic in nature, now that she has crushed her enemies she wants more power, yet somehow she is some sort of revolutionary who is being smeared by two (((white))) males.
same thing was posted a day ago on the blog i posted above,.. Someone from Independent must have thought it was the real Zizek who wrote that on that blog and simply copied it to independent.
It's weird, the way they put the picture really lets you think they have some kind of partnership with him. Could it possible that Zizek write some of the posts on that blog?
Luis Ortiz
Are you sure this a fan site? How do you even know this?
Connor Ross
i thought of that esp since some pics of zizek were taken in the bathroom / bathtub / bedroom and don't look photoshopped. but then there's this (pic related)
Because the burning of King's Landing was shoe-horned into the plot and didn't make any sense. You might have noticed.

Lincoln Sanders
>Because the burning of King's Landing was shoe-horned into the plot and didn't make any sense. You might have noticed. You might have noticed that nothing in GoT made sense, but if you are critiquing it anyway then you have to admit that it did happen, Daenerys was insane and John and Tyrion were right. Unless you really think that burning every city to the ground which has slaves or some shit is not insane.
Luke Wright
It was shoe horned because DnD are lazy hacks that seek to shock their audience and nothing more, there's nothing about hidden patriarchy in that
Jace Johnson
Leftists don't care about quality though and are only salty because their Yas queen slay fantasy got the kibosh
Samuel James
She never attacked enemies that surrendered or targeted civilians. This is just bullshit on your side.
What she did in King's Landing she did because those two writers wanted it to happen. For no other reason.
Eli Hall
Two women would have written the same plot? We will never know but I think it's a pretty bold statement.
Adrian Jackson
There is literally nothing wrong with sexism.
Austin Brooks
>She never attacked enemies that surrendered or targeted civilians. This is just bullshit on your side.

Then nothing ever happened in the show, it is just dark screen for 8 seasons, just shut the fuck up you dumb fucking nigger.
Tyler Garcia
Two others persons would have written the plot differently? Get out of here!
Isaac Wright
convenient him and everyone else complaining about Dany turning crazy was crazy all along talking about how she'd raze cities when her dragons were just born

>The radical queen who wanted more freedom for everyone Bullshit, she wanted power for herself. She wouldn't even agree to use her army to save the entire world from zombies until Jon promised to recognise her as queen. Breaking the wheel is a lie she told herself.
Ethan Jones
I thought Slav Mark Hamill wasn't THAT much into idpol.
Logan Gomez
he toned it down for that debate.
Jackson Turner
>More freedom for everyone >Was very clear about wanting to reclaim her throne in Westeros as a ruler from very first season. I guess Zizek isn't that smart. Yes season 8 is terrible, especially because it never had enough time to work on interesting or believable character development but it's not terrible because of Dany's "sudden" change. In fact the only thing that makes no sense about her in s8 is the fact that she still begged Jon to rule with her instead of arresting or murdering him out of envy for the respect he commanded.
Dylan Thompson
>Part of the problem here is the audience judging the characters by contemporary liberal-democratic norms,*sniff* but the more serious problem is that, although, as fans like to remind us, the show is set in a pre-modern world of violence,*sniff* hierarchy and pervasive gender inequality, all the characters have the mores of contemporary bourgeois liberals,*sniff* either way we must content ourselves with the fact that Stannis is the true king of the seven kingdoms, Stannis,*sniff* so on and so on *sniff* etc etc based
he's not into idpol insofar as it's a very limited framework for understanding social relations. that doesn't mean that it doesn't warrant examination, especially since it's become so dominant in media and culture
Nicholas Martinez
Literally not ONE good point from that vastly overrated retard. No clue why anyone takes him seriously.
