Today my academic advisor told me I “can’t expect anyone to listen to me if I didn’t do the reading”
THE READING.
OH NO I NEED TO READ THE WHITE MAN’S WORDS OR ELSE NOTHING I SAY MEANS ANYTHING! I SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO THINK MY THOUGHTS ARE VALID BECAUSE A WOCS THOUGHTS DONT MEAN SHIT WHEN A WHITE MAN “WROTE A BOOK”
Christ forbid you
understand the subject of the tutorial. Presumably anything written by someone studied in university is so self-evidently false you don't even need to understand it to know it's wrong.
Game of Thrones
- encourages us all to hate strong women like Cersei
Or like Danaeris, or like Catelyn, or like Margaery, or like Arya, or above all Brienne!
- mostly centers around white people
That's fantasy for you.
- glorifies rape and pedophilia
Totally, utterly untrue. Did you bother to read the books?
- misgenders Brienne of Tarth, who is genderfluid
Says you!
- fetishizes gay men
Bullshit.
- dehumanizes sex workers
The opposite is true, so you were close.
- unrealistic depiction of dothraki
"Unrealistic" in what sense?
- fails to address atrocities of colonization (Daenerys)
Totally wrong. Read Dance of Dragons, please.
- glorifies cultural appropriation (Daenerys)
Bullshit!
