Every now and again a friend on Facebook will recommend me to watch Game of Thrones.

Every now and again I unfriend those people.

This show, in all it’s bullshit ‘glory’ is one of the most whitewashed, overrated, bigoted shit programs I have ever laid eyes on. Seriously. If modern TV wasn’t white enough, Game of Thrones features an all-white main cast of middle aged men, who treat their wives like shit and go around drinking, hunting, and visiting brothels. (Did I mention that all the women in this show are meaningless sex objects?)

The show also features this annoying child named ‘Bran.’ Bran is an atrocious character, representing the ‘boy’ of the show, and doing everything better than the beautiful young ladies. It was unfortunate when Bran didn’t die from falling off the castle tower.

The only character I even somewhat liked was the colored woman that traveled alongside the Targaryens. However, even she was used for sexual exposition, and I eventually just gave up.

Game of Thrones is the colonial white man’s fantasy, a bunch of white guys competing for a throne, who are all basically fascists.

All women are nothing but sex objects (ex. Daenarys, who is nothing but a sex pawn to the big, burly Khal Drogo). To begin, season 1 introduces us to our central character Eddard ‘Ned’ Stark, a gruff white guy who cheats on his wife and wants to be king. This guy is a prime example of the ‘typical white hero’ that is so fucking overused in media.

So, right off the bat we learn that Ol’ Ned is a lousy cheating scumbag, and has a bastard son. The bastard is a stupid emo boy, who appears to be sexually repressed and would probably rape a woman if she was in front of him. So, yeah, fuck that character. If this was modern era, I’d wager this little frusturated white boy is gonna shoot up a school.

Anyways, Ned Stark is friends with the King Robert Baratheon (drunk, disgusting, womanizer piece of shit) who encourages him to cheat on his wife again. Ned appears reluctant, but you can tell his patriarchal tendencies override any signs of intelligence, as he laughs away at the suggestion.

Ned also kills dogs for fun.

When his daughter misbehaves, he takes her wolf Lady, and, in a cold blooded fashion, slits the dog’s throat. The scene is fucking mortifying, and at this point, all hope for this series was flushed down the toilet. Ned’s daughter is destroyed, breaking down into tears, and Ned ignores her. He goes to the pub to celebrate, and him and King Robert laugh about the wolf’s death. Robert and Ned then proceed to make out with several prostitutes at once, all while their wives watch in horror. The two drunken men act like complete buffoons, drinking mugs and mugs of beer and ale, caring nothing about their responsibilities. I’d swear I was watching an SNL skit on Donald Trump and Mike Pence.

I stopped watching after the third episode. This series is fucking terrible, and, if you’re a human being of any value whatsoever, stay the hell away from it.

If you do enjoy this series however, you’re probably one of the following:

Racist

Sexist

Animal Abuser

Sexual Sadist

Pedophile
