The "moral" of Game of Thrones
#10
RE: The "moral" of Game of Thrones
Not sure though, because Dany has had her ruthless moments too. Whether she's a hero or a villain at this point depends, on whether you're a former slave or whether you're the Lannisters and the Baratheons, it's all perspective. That's another thing about Thrones, there are so many central characters and narratives, who are at conflict with eachother, that pretty much everyone is both a hero and a villain at the same time. It's almost impossible not to be both in their world. It's more complex than "us vs them", it's every man for himself (and maybe a couple close friends, but can't trust anyone too much), and everyone has enemies. It's dynamic as well, people who were friends before have become enemies and vice versa.

I think in this sense it's so realistic, because real life is rarely the simplified "us vs them" "good vs evil" trope that dominates popular culture

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable."
