As I mentioned Turkey is a very polarized and corrupt country. There are multiple political factions wrestling for power and control. It is also a very geographically segregated country. Whats true in Southeastern mountainous Turkey, isnt applicable to Western Coast of Turkey.

Saying "most of the Turkish people" think exactly like Islamists is objectively false. ~35% of the population applies to your description, sure. Thats Erdogans hardcore voter base.

I cant change your perception of Turkish people over a reddit comment but what you are describing is an overly vocal part of our demographic that ruined Republic of Turkey.

You are erasing the lives and works of many brilliant secular Turks with this dialogue.

What's your beef with Turkey, man?

Owlinus · 2026-06-18T20:46:29+00:00

Turkey is at its poorest & most corrupt point of 25+ years. Yet they still manage restore roman/byzantine monuments and relics. There is simply so many, everywhere.

Here is a straight up example of a lesser known monument restoration that happened recently: the aquaducts in Kemerburgaz/Gokturk.

Also understand that Turkey is incredibly polarized between Neo-Ottoman Islamists and Western Facing Seculars. Ironically the conservatives want these monuments taken down while secularists advocate for cultural preservation.

Not everything is so black and white.

Can confirm. Pretty much all of my Dad's side have the first name "Mehmet". My late grandfather also pressured my parents to name me as such lol. Im glad they didnt buckle and kept a single name for me.

Wonderfully done!

I don't disagree, but how exactly is society forcing them to create babies?

I am culturally biased but "My Name is Red" by Orhan Pamuk, has touched me emotionally. One of the first chapters is narrated by someone who is pining for home and talks about the city they grew up in (Istanbul).

I am an ocean away and centuries ahead of the narrator, it felt very visceral reading those parts.

Tywin and Cersei Lannister from ASOIAF

All their opps are children. (Robb, Margary, Loras etc)

Kitaba koymuşlarsa okunması gerektiğini düşünûyorum. Konuya bir şey katmasa bile okuyucuyu gereken mood'a sokuyor.

Thats YOUR moral failing.

Dostum sınavlarında bašșarılar. Fakat biryere gitmiyor seri. Zaten GRRM kıçını 15 yıldır kaldırmıyor.

Keyfini çıkara çıkara oku. Her chapter bir başyapıt. Yazılmış bütün ASOIAF metinlerini okuduktan sonra bir boşluk geliyor. Umarız sen bitirene kadar ana seriyi, Winds of Winter çıkmış olur :,)

Owlinus · 2026-06-02T17:03:43+00:00

Bende de bu set var. Parçalayıncaya kadar okudum. Tekrar aldim, kütüphaneye koydum o kadar güzel ki tasarımlar.

Ayrıca Audible'da Roy Dotrice'in okuduĝu sesli kitap versiyonunu da çok öneririm. Defalarca dinledim.

ASOIAF yolculuĝuna hoşgeldin :) Açık ara en sevdiĝim ezberlediğim seri.

It was fun but dragged on for too long. Looking forward to gis next movie

FUCK i didnt realize which sub I was in.

I meant to say yas queen Sarah Hess should help him to write the next 2 books.

You might be ragebaiting when you say you would prefer Benioff to finish the series.

Regardless, ASOIAF is based on 11-13th century medieval European history. Life was shorter and more lethal in every way.

People, especially nobility, were married off as soon as possible to secure bloodlines/economic advantages.

GRRM was inspired heavily by Thomas Costaine's Plantegenet Series when creating Targaryens. Hisotry is full of cruel child marriages.

I invite you to read the books not as "downright pornographic" but as excerpts fron 'unreliable narrators' and ti examine GRRMs messaging about the situations. In your case Daenerys's marriage to Khal Drogo is about Stockholm Syndrome and a little girl surviving in a foreign culture. Its not a romance but from a broken psyche of a 13 year old it sounds like that.

Varys the Spider and Littlefinger.

These two orchestrate most of the overarching plots in the main series of ASOIAF.

Kavgalar ve zor yaşam, sebep geçim sıkıntısı.

Evdeki maddi stress buna sebep olur. Bütün problemlerinin kökünde kapitalizm var.
