Five out of six episodes in the books. Thus far? Virtually every major character is both white and male. No gay shit. No girl boss shit. Positive portrayals of men and masculinity. Minimal or no millennial writing. The show appears to be unapologetically targeting the traditional male audience. It's a complete 180 from the last decade of feminized DEI trash.
How did this get approved??
More seriously: yes, this is undoubtedly the "reconciliation" phase of the leftist takeover. We're expected to come crawling back to Hollywood because they've been magnanimous enough to offer us a few scraps of quality targeted entertainment.
But look at the bright side: imagine how miserable these woke executives and producers must have been reading scripts and watching dailies that featured almost no women, minorities, or gays lol
Forgot to add: the show is universally beloved online. Gee, I wonder why...
This isn't adresssed enough, imo. Cat and Sansa are two of the worst culprits of this and most of the reasons things go so wrong in the main story.
Cat tries to get Tyrion run through a sham trial but fucks it up.
She tries to groom Rob as some genius general except all her intel is wrong.
Even her thoughts on her own brother are wrong when he nearly defeats the Mountain rather than let Rob capture him as planned, because neither told Cat's brother the actual plan as they didn't think he was that good.
With Sansa being her daughter it's no surprise she's just as retarded and lying in almost every PoV chapter she has.
