I wish critique of colonialism and feudalism in westeros was more welcome in the asoiaf fandom, considering the books are literally critiques of medieval and fictional politics. Like some people embody feudalistic lords a little too much when they see a critique of the most powerful ruling house in this fictional world and say “well so and so house did it too so shut up!!!” Like the inner medieval tyrant is showing. You are not a dragon you are a 20 year old from the United States of America. Quit dismissing every political analysis of a political book bc “so and so did it too”. You’re so boring.
#george created a world ripe for criticism with stories that focus on calling out the bad parts of this world#yet god forbid someone critique the politics of a family of magical overlords in a political fantasy novel#feudalistic and colonial politics are a massive part of asoiaf if you’re afraid of encountering them then watch d&ds fanfic idk
