The makers of
the Game Of Thrones prequel
House Of The Dragon
proudly announced
that the show will
have much more sexual violence
i.e. rape
in it,
saying they wanted to make it
‘true’ to the Middle Ages,
to shine a light on all that rape.
That’s a bullsh*t reason.
The f*ckin’ show has dragons in it.
Nothing about it is ‘true’
to the Middle Ages.
And if they were going in that direction,
the women wouldn’t have shaved legs
or underarms
and everyone should have yellow teeth.
No, they added the rape
because someone on that team
fantasizes about rape.
And they are intentionally
traumatizing their female viewers
by catering to that person.
81% of women have REPORTED
experiencing some form
of sexual harassment
and/or assault in their lifetime.
81%.
And that includes only the women
who reported it.
The percentage is much higher than that.
We all know someone
who has been raped.
Almost all of us
have experienced some sort
of sexual violence.
If rape is a selling point
for your product
in the entertainment space,
know that you’re making that product
for horrible people.
I regret having ever watched
Game Of Thrones.
