To be shocked at Game of Thrones - it's very rude!

[bettycocker]

I just got a copy of series 1 of Game of Thrones from a mate.

It's very rude. It's like Lord of the Rings, only with tits and incest. I had heard about it and thought DS 14 would enjoy something like that. After watching it myself, I think he would enjoy it a little too much.

I think it's fab, but I haven't seen any other TV series that feature so much full frontal nudity. It even has willies!

AIBU to be totally shocked at how rude it is?

i love it too but you can't ignore that the women do a LOT more stripping than the men.

ladyjadie They are songs from the story. This week's was The Bear and the Maiden Fair.

ohh ok! but made to sound more modern, right? or am I just going mad?

ladyjadie, I googled last night's closing song choice, and articles say that it was deliberately used to ramp up the 'bloody hell!' factor of what happened to one of the major characters (not going to spoil it for anyone lurking who hasn't watched it) - emphasising how jarring life can be at times, etc., etc., blah blah.

I understand the annoyance at the sexualisation in GoT, but don't really get bothered about it myself, because the female characters aren't weak and weedy characters. Rather than sex being used to enslave them, they use it as a weapon... well most of them do.

Think its also meant to be inspired by medieval times, when women really were treated badly.

oh, and I also want to see Tyrion naked

Yes it's based loosely on the war of the roses, so yeah women would have been treated really badly.
I have a huge crush on Peter Dinklage, so would not say no to a naked Tyrion.

Ohh I see.. Thanks Oxford! TBH I struggled to even remember what had happened!
