sometimes u follow people bc they make great analyses and points abt asoiaf. and then sometimes the DT brain rot has gotten so deep in their head that they contradict themselves in their own otherwise completely coherent and prudent post.

#ur right that something isn’t inherently feminist if a woman ends up on the iron throne in the end #but what abt DT’s story makes u think she’s going to give up the throne if she wins it?#like regardless of if u think she’ll survive or not. if she gets the throne will she give it up for the sake of bettering her fellow women?#no. what abt her story has u convinced otherwise? her treatment of her female subordinantes? her determination to ‘abolish’ slavery?#and saying she’d be upset with westerosi feudalism and patriarchy when she spends the majority of her internal monologue idolizing #the patriarchal and feudalistic system her family is directly responsible for making in westeros that she’s determined to rule one day?#she enjoys so many things that are directly linked to feudalism. living in a castle. having servants. ruling over small folk and making #decisions/laws to ‘better’ their lives. like her entire thing (from her viewpoint) is that she’s a queen and has a duty to make people’s #lives better bc she’s their liege. like what abt that doesn’t scream feudalism?#the series isn’t going to end with the abolishment of feudalism in westeros bc the societal and political development just hasn’t reached #that far yet. and expecting any of the characters to want to abandon it is just willfully ignoring how civilization has developed #esp grrm glacial asoiaf world #and so to make a post saying that RT works to show how a woman in power isn’t inherently feminist but DT is sooo different #is just willful misunderstanding. esp from someone who does strong readings of the text that i’ve really enjoyed #anyways. sad and disappointed #mine.txt
