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.

    Even worse are the dimwits who go “Ive never seen the series or are even aware of the series” and then go popping off based on whatever third hand account is accusing the work of.

    If you don't even know what the story is about and even admit to not watching it, then why even give a critique about it? You’re basing your analysis on a story you made up in your head to get mad at.
