Even if it wasn't realistic... WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT REALISM IN GAME OF THRONES. You're literally just angry because people on Tumblr annoy you. Well, get over it.

Sorry about how spicy this take is. I need some dang lunch.

Yeah, Tumblr has a lot of problems but I'm so sick of the way this community uses "Tumblr" as shorthand for"everything awful".

and I agree they weren't thinking about that when they wrote this plot

PLus, does OP realize how young so many of the characters were in the books? And since they're based on real medieval/Renaissance historical figures...

WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT REALISM IN GAME OF THRONES

People have always given a shit about realism that doesn't have to do with fantasy elements like the dragons. Like the endless wank about how there wasn't really that much rape and child marriage in the era GOT is loosely based on.

I think you're kind of missing the nature of that particular wank. People objected to the presence of rape and child marriage in GOT for reasons having nothing to do with realism. Realism was invoked as a justification for its presence, and the arguments about how it wasn't that commonplace during the period were in response to that.

I expect a series to be tonally consistent. The noble king who does the right thing gets decapitated. The queen who tries to fix slavery crashes the economy and starts a civil war. Etc.

Sure, but you need to be able to accurately evaluate what the tone consists of, and I don't think we're necessarily able to do that yet

Honestly. On this com, tumblr is blamed for literally anything slightly bad ever happening. And it's just like...it's not that deep fam.
