In the mythology of the show Westeros isn't white people's homeland, Essos is, white people came over to Westeros in two migrational waves set thousands of years apart, displacing the original inhabitants of Westeros the Giants and the Children of the Forest, and precipitating their extinction.

(Spoiler Alert) Zombies were created by the Children of the Forest, and the dragons originate from the volcanic caves beneath Valyria.

Fvck that, end Prohibition.

Wasn't bragging, just reflecting on reality and the pain its honest recognitions can cause, no worries, you'll get where I'm coming from some day, enlightenment is a journey, and everyone's on it.

I get where you're coming from, but I've spent a lot of time trolling Trumpkins, the truth about their Hair Fuhrer is quite the ouch for them, and the truth that 62 million Americans support him was personally painful for awhile, but pain is temporary and eventually leads to growth.

I said I get why they exist, and there's just a smidgen of irony towards the end of your statements.

Yep, and so is George RR Martin, though labels like that are exhausting, I get why they exist.

Their characters explore the ideals of freedom and the self, slavery is just a vehicle for that exploration, it's an institution that has been with humanity for thousands of years, ignoring it doesn't in any way change that fact or help you learn lessons from it, and most of the slaves on the show are white, and most

Grey Worm is characterized as a badass and Missandei is characterized as a Diplomat, their past history as slaves has shaped their characters, but doesn't define them.

Fine, they're two of the three greatest show runners in the history of television, if they bring Vince on board their new show will complete the set.

It was part of their character's journey, though Jorah was originally exiled from Westeros for selling other white people who were poaching on his land into slavery, and many of the slaves in Mereen are white, because they're cast extras from Spain.

Loads of them, Jorah and Tyrion for a while for starters.

I'm cool with that.

Also one of the Sand Snakes, both are named after the Queen of the Rhonar who founded Dorne after fleeing with her people from Essos to the Southern tip of Westeros, trying to escape the Valyrians who were hunting them with their Dragons.

Game of Thrones includes characters of every race, there are black people in the Summer islands, Asians in Asshai, but the show is centered on Westeros, which is a European analog, and inhabited by white people for over 10,000 years, non white characters on the show like Grey Worm and Nymeria, have roots in other far

Truth can hurt sometimes, entertainment is totally subjective and people can b!tch about Game of Thrones all they want, but people are going to be bitching about it 500 years from now like they're bitching about Shakespeare today.

As a nation we have an insane amount of difficulty talking about the legacy of slavery, at this point we might as well let a tv show take a stab at it, the fact that the show is run by the two greatest show runners in the history of television gives me hope that it won't be a total sh!t show, I look forward to
