I agree with you on aesthetics, don't get me wrong--though some of them being shaved doesn't bug me quite so much as it does you. I just want a sort of realistic diversity in GOT crotches.

The issue is that mandating the women in GOT nude scenes have bushes would entail directors/producers/whoever is in charge of this sort of thing to police the actresses' crotches. A lot of people shave and wax now. I really don't want someone to be told she has to grow it out for realism purposes because the geeks want to stare at her crotch.

I realize people might be being sent to the waxing studio right now, but the other option isn't exactly better.

... they are actors. If the writers want them to have bushy or shaved crotches, it wouldn't be that weird to ask them to shave or not shave, would it? Just like actors will grow or shave facial hair for roles, or gain or lose weight. It's part of the job.

You also get into logistics. Cercei's around for awhile and has time, sure. Tavern Hooker #47 is a short term hire.

wouldn't they just use prosthetics pubic hair? i know they used merkins on Spartacus. The actresses can do whatever they wish and wear a prosthetic of what's appropriate for the show.

Eh, maybe.

Maybe I find the obsession with the actresses' crotch status a bit weird to begin with?

I figured being liberated meant, y'know, being liberated. Not shoved into a different box of obligations where if I don't describe my characters as properly hairy I'm a traitor to the cause. Maybe I honestly don't care!

No one is talking about being liberated or not, so what "being liberated" means is pretty much irrelevant to the conversation.

Exactly.

People are talking about women who are actresses, willingly signed a contract to do certain scenes, and who could have agreed (as part of that contract) to grow or not pubic hair for the shots.

And that it would have helped for the realism of the show, because some people find it jarring that poor women and hookers in a medieval setting are completely hairless down there.

I can just see that being on someone's resume now. Or imagine a family reunion: "So what do you do for a living?" "I manage the production and application of high-budget Hollywood crotch wigs."

Didn't Natalia Tena volunteer to grow her pubic hair out or wear a merkin but in the end, she was still clean shaven (which didn't fit the character one bit)? So wouldn't that mean that they're already policing the actresses crotches?

Well yeah, which I acknowledged (I don't know anything about that particular incident). I'm saying the policing itself is kinda skeevy.

Now I want a "Crotch Police" avatar.

Couldn't they used merkins like they used on Spartacus instead?

Fucking idiot.

Is it really so important to you that every woman looks like a prepubescent girl?

You are a fucking idiot.

Wait what? What does that have to do with chard's comment?

He's arguing that the shaved crotches in the medias a good thing and should be kept, and that it would actually be unfeminist to have actresses with pubic hair. Fucking moron doing backwards doublethink to keep his gross shaved crotches on TV.

...wow.

First of all, chardmonster is a woman. Where have you been?

Second of all, that's not what she's arguing. She's arguing that forcing a woman to alter her appearance, one way or the other, is problematic. It's wrong to make all women shave their crotches, but it's also wrong to make all women keep their crotches unshaven. A woman should be able to shave or not shave her pussy and no one should tell her otherwise.

You're either an idiot or you're trying way too fucking hard.

Ok. Fair enough. I apologise.

How's that C in English treating you? Bet your teacher was a jerk and just didn't like your politics, right?

Call in the stunt bush!

Actors do all sorts of body changes for roles, growing hair seems like one the least invasive ones. Not to mention there are apparently pubic wigs that can be used if the actress in question prefers to stay the way she was (Natalia Tena talked about it when discussing Osha).
