the way the girlies are afraid of sex scenes on the dragon show... what's going on. young people are fr having less sex

i do kind of feel like im going nuts whys everyone on suicide watch about it. they arent forcing olivia cooke to do degrading hardcore porn at gunpoint its a tv sex scene. this show has had sex scenes in it before they clearly know how to handle them tastefully everyones just created the worst possible scenario in their heads to get smug or hysterical about. game of thrones was at one point nicknamed the tits and dragons show

people deep in the hotd teams paint get the way the general public engages with the show wildly wrong i think. ‘haha/ohno by having this sex scene the General Audience will HATE the greens for being HYPOCRITES’ i do nott know how to tell you the general fan response to a sex scene while a toddler gets beheaded will most likely be ohh totally brutal classic game of thrones. i talked to a friend who hadnt seen the show about the leaks and he said isnt that extremely par for the course. and ‘yeah but those two didnt have sex in the books’ is when said out loud an absolutely absurd reason for the entire fandom to be melting down about it. people who value book accuracy above literally all else (lest their meticulously pre-had discourse be overturned and they need to reestablish how their side is the best) are driving me crazy ‘waaaa they might cut maelor waaaa alicent isnt tied to a chair during blood and cheese anymore the seasons RUINED just keep it’ whattt are you talking about. do you even enjoy this show or are you just here to check off assorted scenes from the extended asoiaf canon
