I don't think it passes the test though

They're fighting in formations, not one on one, you can't move around space without bumping into other people or tripping over bodies or equipment. And again, better armor on a bigger person doesn't guarantee victory but certainly puts the enemy at a disadvantage. Lagertha, who would also need armor would be slowed…

I'm not about to defend nazi's here, it's only an example, but all the roles you mentioned are support roles, which women have been doing since the dawn of warfare. Arguably one of the main reasons why the suffragists successfully got the female vote was as a direct result of WWI as reciprocity for the huge amount of…

The problem with competitive martial arts is that they only measure how good you are against a person within your weight class of the same gender in a barehanded fight with both sides following the rules, using the same style. Now in respect to Katheryn Winnick, I'm guessing she can beat bigger people up because she…

you're hinging on a single theme from the season and applying it as a fundamental flaw to Viking culture in order to dismiss the trope that the show it using on them. Essentially it's saying that they cannot be "noble savages" because they aren't noble, which is a bit fucked up.

I'm a mestizo male, every story on film that features my demographic is either in jail, selling drugs, crossing the Rio Grande with 11 kids or in the best case scenario is a janitor.

because it's a misogynistic show, yes.

…

it's not just the methods of execution that exemplify the theme, it's the motives behind using them.

They had agriculture, which has not productive enought to sustain the whole population, so they resorted to raiding. The fact that the culture had to adapt this way is not a judgement call, it's an evnvironmental variable, Guns Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond was all about this. Yet, a culture that copes using human…

maybe she's ashamed for fucking in a sept in front of her firstborn's cadaver

haha, I thought he should have stopped earlier so it wouldn't constitute rape? so which is it?

1) If you "don't care" about what the show presented but still characterized whatever you saw as rape, where's the line drawn? we don't even see them boning to the end, for all we know Cersei throws off Joffrey off the altar to make room for herself so Jaime can have sex with her.

So you're objecting to every element of both the character and the scene's narrative in this case, both in the show and the book?

what does it take? apparently kissing, holding, wrapping legs around the man and cock grabbing aren't enough according to some comments here.

I like/liked the show for the worldbuilding, but that's mostly on hold for this season. Other than that, I'm honestly too prudish to enjoy the stream of gratuitous sex on the show but I'm jaded enough to ignore it. Still, I have a pretty good idea of what kind of show it its and what it will have when I turn on the TV…

so how do mute people consent?

he's a shitty director, he tried to do an ambiguous scene and he didn't pull it off. Can everyone be satisfied now?

but consider that the books had a somewhat dubious situation regarding this particular sex act, and that the show changed it by moving Jaime's arrival to King's Landing.

it's always been done that way, that's the point. Was Ros's death by torture and prolonged bloodloss anything but gratuitous?
