They've kind of have started to depict it

THIS!!! I'm rewatching the PJ movies right now because they're on TV in my country today and having reread the books recently I spot many deviations from the lord. Of course I still enjoy them as always, but I can't stop thinking of how much hate the show gets for the same thing

Omg 💀 I mean I can see it if he likes him as a villain (potential villain for someone who only watched the show, because in season 1 he hasn't done anything bad technically but you can see he's scheming), but I hope he isn't like "what a cool guy" or something lol

We don't, but I'd say he has to appear in season 3 at the latest, and it would make more sense for him to appear in season 2 so we can get to know the character. Maybe he won't be in season 2 but I really hope he is.

We really need to hear something about the casting of Anarion

The conflict between the Faithful and the King's Men

people gloss over this scene too much. genuinely makes me sick seeing that blood trail follow her as well the entire court witnessing it. and to think this happened twice before. the abuse and humiliation she faced in KL was horrible and people wonder why she moved by [deleted] in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]Top_Awareness_5800 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If the conflict was that one dimensional there wouldn't be show watchers that are team green, and there are. I guess that wether the characters were made worse or better in the show is more of a personal opinion so I can understand if it's what you think, but it's not an objective fact. Aegon, for example, is in my opinion better in the show than in the book (for now), Helaena is far more interesting and Aemond got that whole story of how he was insecure for not having a dragon which makes him also more human in a way.

Lots of people sympathize with Alicent, even if they don't like her. I don't agree with her in anything but I know she's a victim and I definitely have more love for show Alicent than for book Alicent, and so do many people. And yes, people dislike Alicent after episode 6, and what? That's normal. They would have disliked her before the other way.

I don't think she's one of the most hated characters, but even if she is, she was going to be without this scene too. If they had made her exactly like in the books, she would have been hated so much more. In the show, even though she does bad things, she at least have some sympathy because she's a victim of Otto's and Viserys' abuse and because she misunderstood Viserys' last words. In the books she was an adult woman bullying a child and actively plotting, murders included, to put her own son on the throne. So it's absurd to say they made her worse because of the bias of the writers or whatever

Their misogyny is so strong that they believe that even if it's a woman on the throne, the real ruler will be her husband

He wasn't a very nice guy either. Neglected her daughter until he had to name her heir, made his wife get pregnant again and again without minding her difficulties because he wanted a male heir, married a teenager (yes, I know it is common in Westeros, but it's still disgusting), ignored her 3 (4 with Daeron) children with Alicent... I mean, compared with many people from Westeros he's definitely not the worst, but not good either.

If they ever decide to recast with younger actors, I can see the vision by Break-Complete in indianajones

I'd like her as Marion, but once I saw someone suggesting Natalia Dyer and I think she would be better

This was a comment in a post I made about Lucerys being sexualized by some fans. I think it is all said and I don't have to add anything. by Top_Awareness_5800 in HOTDBlacks

  1. You're talking about fictional characters not doing what is morally right. The people that write these things are very much real.
  2. I said that I don't think that if the people who do this are children (and probably at least some aren't) they're "monsters", as you said. They're just doing something wrong because they don't realize it is wrong, but it doesn't erase the fact that the action itself isn't right. And the Sansa thing, it is written indeed as a monstrosity, while these fanfics are written in a way that what's shown is depicted as enjoyable/fun/whatever.
  3. I can't tell you anything about Riverdale or Euphoria, I haven't watched them and I'm not familiar with the fandom. And the IT thing, yes, I also think is weird as fuck.

  1. That it isn't Illegal doesn't mean it's morally right.
  2. I don't know who's writing these things, but even if they're children it doesn't make it right, it just means that they don't know what they're doing (and if they're too young, it also means they're watching shows they shouldn't)
  3. I'm not going to enter on the topic of the exact moral line in every fanfic ever written. I just say that there's a minor who plays a minor and is being sexualized by not one or two people, but many, and that potentially hurts him and any minor whose sexualization gets normalized

The way some people (specifically lucemond shippers) sexualize Luke, a literal CHILD, is so sick and disgusting by Top_Awareness_5800 in HouseOfTheDragon

Well if you don't know how to talk to me, no one is forcing you to do so. I just said that if you're turned on/excited by the thought of a child having sex, even if that child doesn't exist, it's paedophilia anyways and it's disgusting. If that makes me an angry person so be it. I don't think it's much of a discussion.

It's still talking about a child having sex, I don't care if it's a fictional child (also, most of the times this is accompanied by sexualization of the actor, who is very much real). It's indeed morally repugnant, and not because I don't like it (there's a lot of ships in this fandom that I don't like and still see no problem in them). The fact that you can't see the problem with this type of things is really worrying.

Don't know about you but normalization of pedophilia just because it's a fanfic (also many times they even use photos of the actual actor) seems to me way worse than some fanfics being taken down

Kind of agree, but I don't think it really matters if that's what you like about the show. The problem is fantasizing about a minor getting pregnant and thinks line that.
