Don’t forget the people who said it was sexist for Dany to go mad. Also saw a lady attack the wheel of time books because 3 women were in love with Rand. Because there has never been a story where multiple men go after a woman

That's not exactly a fair comparison. Rand ends up with an actual harem, rather than simply having several options to pick from. Elayne, a literal Princess and later Queen has her twins. Aviendha, possibly ends up still having her 4 children with him who end up so powerful they are constantly channeling all the time. And Min, who is basically his tomboy fuck doll when compared to the others, spends the most time with him out of the 3.
Still, for her to whine constantly about it was annoying. If you want to write a story about a woman with multiple husbands or boyfriends then fine. I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it. Moon is a Harsh Mistress has polyamorous group with a female leader. I guess my point would be that if she was offended by that then read something else
What's funny is Wheel of Time is already obnoxiously feminist without any "updating for modern audiences" required, at least in the gender department. Plenty of times a man failed to do something, a woman does it, then even gets a sentence dedicated to how she "smirks" at the guy, etc.
Haha, I read the first WoT book and didn't bother after that since the feminism annoyed me enough to dedicate my time elsewhere. Couldn't even IMAGINE how woke the show was, but based on ratings/viewership numbers sounds like they couldn't resist injecting.
Speaking of Jamie and Cercei, when the show was adapting the books their relationship was one of ruinous codependency and narcissism, and Jamie's redemption arc was heavy on admitting to himself how horrible his sister was. Incest in general was depicted as bad. The Targaryens dynasty bred insanity, Craster was a demon worshipper, etc. But once the show ran out of book material all that went out the window and all the incest was depicted as romantic. The big reveal of who was Jon's mother was juxtaposed with him having sex with his aunt, and when this information was made apparent to the characters none of them were at all repulsed by it.

How fucking unrealistic! As if women would take turns letting the alpha chad ride them like a skateboard!
They need to pretend they're the only one.

Min FTW.

Which is crazy because I hear the show was even more feminist

The "aww you're sweet / hello, human resources?" comic is absolutely unbeatable.
But, I mean, obviously Star Wars became more nuanced once we realized that the force was female, right?
