i don't even remember him being coy about it tbh (i don't remember any of the renly stuff from the books really)
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Tuesday, 10 April 2012 02:00 (twelve years ago) link
I don't think I ever twigged to it until the TV show!!! Which is pretty dim of me maybe but it WAS very coy.

neither renly nor loras had as much narrative attention on them as stannis, iirc, it would be really weird if stannis & melisandre were supposed to be boning down in the books
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Tuesday, 10 April 2012 02:11 (twelve years ago) link
doesnt grrm make a real point of saying that stannis doesnt even like bone-downing?
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Tuesday, 10 April 2012 02:12 (twelve years ago) link
i didnt get renly & loras until the show started having them givin each other mondo blowies, but george says it was there all along, and so when the show has stannis & melly doin it i just assume the same thing

in retrospect, there were a bunch of good scenes in this, but I really found it hard to care about them while I was watching

Finally caught up
Uhhhh the mouth-wiping was O_o. I still don't really get why they have to go THAT far with it. Even if they have a must-show-this-many-boobs contract, who decides on face-spooge?
The Theon and Yara reveal was handled really well, and I loved the scenes with Gendry/Arya.
Mr Veg and I got a lot of lols out of Melisandre and Stannis boning down on the war table. Like, dude you couldn't sweep the table before you threw her down?

It's not making it LESS gross that lots of people want to keep returning to the scenes where women are treated the most dismissively/cruelly and making jokes about their sexualized, dehumanized bodies.

― lag∞n, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 16:31 (twelve years ago) link
eh, y'know sometimes liberal handwringing is a proper response when you're dealing with this stuff; I generallly agree with this:
Sometimes you still enjoy a movie or book because you read a certain, potentially problematic scene in a certain way – but others read it entirely differently, and found it more problematic. For example, consider the scene in Game of Thrones where Drogo rapes Dany (which he does not do in the books). One of my friends feels that it was portrayed like rape fetish porn, sexualising the act and Dany’s pain. But I feel that the scene focuses on Dany’s pain and tears in a manner that is not fetishising them (though even so the narrative is still totally fucked up because Dany and her rapist then go on to have a good, sexyfuntimes relationship…uh, no, HBO). I don’t agree with my friend’s interpretation but I recognise it as a totally valid reading of the scene.Also, as a fan of problematic media, you need to respect the fact that others may be so upset or angered by media you love that they don’t want to engage with it at all. In fact, one of my best friends won’t watch HBO’s Game of Thrones because of the racism and misogyny. That’s a completely legitimate and valid response to that tv show, and me trying to convince her to give it another shot would be disrespectful and hurtful. If you badger others to see what you see in something when they are telling you it’s not enjoyable for them, you’re being an entitled jerk. You’re showing yourself to be willing to hurt a real person over a television show. That really is a sign you’re taking things too seriously.
