Game of Thrones is mainstream? Really?

(Anonymous) 2014-03-02 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
DA

I'm not in the fandom, but from what I can see it kind of is? It seems the show right now. My mother hates most fantasy with a passion, and she a) knows about GoT, and b) has watched enough to have the odd opinion. It does seem to be rather mainstream.

Are you an idiot? It is #6 on the New York Times best seller list.

AYRT

I thought the secret was about the series? Sounds like you're just trolling the thread, as your boilerplate response is "you are/are you/you must be an idiot"

I ran across someone the other week that thought it was perfectly acceptable viewing for families with young children.

I wept for the future of civilisation.

...WHAT.

(Anonymous) 2014-03-02 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I KNOW!! It was a conversation that required backing away slowly from or else gaping in stunned horror.

(Anonymous) 2014-03-02 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
...Bloody hell, anon. Bloody, bloody hell. D:

I mean god... there are so many scenes that just. No. God, no.

0_0!!!

Did this conversation take place before the Red Wedding aired?

(Anonymous) 2014-03-03 11:43 am (UTC)(link)
It was two weeks ago so yes it was.

(Anonymous) 2014-03-03 11:45 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry. Read that backwards. It was after Red Wedding.

I love the show, but it is in no way appropriate for kids under 13. 13-17 is iffy, depending on the kid, but I was watching R-rated movies with plenty of sex and violence at 12, and my mom wasn't terribly concerned. I had the maturity level to understand the media I was consuming was not real and wasn't to be imitated.

(Anonymous) 2014-03-02 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
It most certainly is.

Just from a "geek" standpoint, I kind of laugh if someone calls themselves a fantasy nerd but they've only read Game of Thrones. I don't mean to be elitist or anything, but I don't think there's anything nerdy about liking something so mainstream? Unless you're really obsessed with it and know everything about it, I guess.

(Anonymous) 2014-03-02 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
HAHAHAHAHAHA

you think they can pull off a massively expensive production like that without it being mainstream?

it's not like it challenges any norms or anything either. it's nicely retro for the time when men were men etc.

I love GoT and yes, I'd consider it mainstream. Maybe not so much the books until the TV show started but these days everyone I know, no matter who they are, has watched at least a couple of episodes or heard of it... and the books sell very well.
