Yeah it's honestly amazing how the PR on GoT kept a lot of those issues out of public site and memory though D&D butchering Daenarys' character during the end really pissed off a lot of the fandom into either perpetually memory holing or hating the show with nothing inbetween. Like it's amazing to see a property so quickly and utterly become culturally irrelevant and I can only hope Harry Potter sees a similar fate eventually.

I always found the "historical accuracy" claim on SA being acceptable in "non-modern" times being really a shit excuse by creeps given how there's lots of cases of peasantry laws having stuff such as freaking trial by combat between women accusing men of SA and being able to bludgeon them to death, I honestly feel that though SA happened our own perceptions on it are shaped by how SA was literally legal and officiated by the catholic church for married couples as it became a dominant legal figurehead as it expanded into Europe and was then carried into the US and it's own legalalized statutes on legal abuse towards women.
