The cucks and feminazis at Vanity Fair weigh on in the most recent episode of Game of Thrones

Where to begin? As those of you who are not immune to the charms of HBO's darling fantasy series are well aware, Game of Thrones is absolutely chock-fucking-full of the tried-and-true trite "girl power" narrative.

One of the plot arcs in series that took a reasonable amount of flak for its excessive shark-jumping brand of "Grrl power" was the one relating to Dorne.

(HERE BE SPOILERS)

In what must have been the most direct attempt at an indirect apology to the series' fans, the show's producers slaughtered two of the several notorious characters embroiled in the dumpster fire of a plotline - one that was clearly going nowhere.

But, unlike the gratuitously violent scenes in the show up to this point in which women battle men, the producers gave this recent episode a different kind of slant, and for once, we get to see the "grrl-power" narrative brought to it's bloody conclusion, with two female characters slain in combat in what I must admit, was a glorious fashion.

Vanity Fair, one of the flagship rags associated with Conde Nast (chock full of cucks, no doubt) was quick to recriminate with some formalized whining over the fact that god forbid, female characters face consequences for their actions.

Amid all the bleating and hand-wringing entailed in the linked piece a couple of passages truly stood out in their plaintive, naive offense to the scenes in the most recent episode of GoT:

Still Obara and Nymeria met grisly ends with the camera seeming to relish lingering on their dying faces much the way it did on another unpopular character, Olly.

Yes, they did. They went out fighting. Just like their father (ole' toothless Oberyn!); the elder brother of Daenerys back in Season 1; Olly (a 10-year old boy who was hanged); Smalljohn Umber (beaten, stabbed and bitten to death by Tormund in the Battle of the Bastards); Sir Alliser Thorne (also focused on with a lingering camera shot after he was hanged) and Sir Meryn-fucking-Trant (stabbed, had his eyes gouged out and throat slit) with the camera focusing on him and his last, pathetic dying vocalizations.

What do all those deaths have in common? Aside from them all being awful, involving a lingering camera shot and entailing the passage to the afterlife of male characters - they're but a taste of the many deaths in the show for which we saw absolutely no media outrage, whatsoever.

What's my point in mentioning all this? Pointing out how absurd it is that everyone only seems to be uncomfortable with these kinds of lingering dramatic deaths when they involve women. People die horrible deaths in this series. It's about time D&D had the balls to make it clear that women aren't exempt from that.

It’s also the first time in a long while that the show has presented violence against women as part of a fight scene that’s more thrilling than overtly tragic.

Yes, of course. That is because they're not princesses! The Sand Snakes were fucking assassins, and fighters. The lot of them spent the last two seasons putting spears through people's heads, poisoning people and one-shot-killing big armoured axe-wielding men with fucking deus-ex-machina weapons like knives covered in instant-death-poison.

They, as people partaking in the reciprocal exchange of violence, were bound not to have glamorous or tragic deaths. Live by the sword, die by the sword - that kind of thing.

I, for one am glad that not every female death is some gentle melodramatic sob-story. Half of the fun with this whole "women as warriors"-trope they've been bludgeoning us with in GoT is that women were taking on the mantle in roles that are considered masculine - female knights like Brienne, and female assassins like the Sand gals.

It's about fucking time women started facing the consequences for their actions in GoT instead of constantly marauding around as invincible killing machines that slaughter and dominate male characters at every goddamned turn, while wearing their suits of feminist-girl-power plot armor.

I relish the deluge hypocritical feminist tears that has resulted from the quick, brutal violent deaths of two female characters, discarded in a manner that is identical to the way scads and scads of male characters later become meaningless statistics and bodies in an ever-growing metaphorical heap.

The show kinda blows now that they left the source material behind.
