The nudity and sex isnt even the point, the entire show is escapist pornography from dumb fetishization medieval culture to the list of 300 made up names for imaginary places

Moridin920 posted:I just think it's hilarious between the posters actively admitting they have never read the book but feel qualified to comment on it (that was in the other thread just now) and the posters acting like HBO's crazy megapopular TV show is actually complete poo poo. I don't think it's ok. You have limited time so why waste it on genre fiction

Good fiction should encourage you to think about it in connection with and as a reflection of the reality that produced it and to which it relates. Genre fic encourages its readers to disconnect from reality, and so is worthless
