On one hand it makes sense that medieval european social relations imply, well, medieval european social relations and it makes sense to use your novel (or your show) to examine those.
On the other I can relate to many people wanting to see women in medieval fantasy to be represented in some other way than constant misery porn.
I haven't watched the new show, but in GoT it's sorta integral to the plot, right?
oh
i had no idea it was GoT tbh
i lost interest in it years ago
I haven’t seen this prequel because after the last season of GoT I don’t give a fuck, but yes the misogyny is crucial to both major plot points and multiple characters development.
It is, very much so
