Forget the writing and it’s quality, forget the cgi. Forget the plot holes and the unanswered questions. We have the actual real issues here.

Female characters in Game of Thrones speak about three times less than male characters in the show, according to new data.

Although the hugely popular show ended this week after eight seasons, the debate on how it represented women will continue. 

The data suggests that across all eight seasons, male speech amounts to about 75% of all speaking time in the series.

 

Lisa Hamberg, co-founder of Ceretai, told the BBC that by analysing Game of Thrones, they wanted to make viewers aware of the wider problem of how women are portrayed in the media. 

"We are not doing this to make people stop watching, but to make them aware of the fact that it's an unfair representation of the world", she says.

But wouldn’t that just be in line with the depiction of a male-dominated feudal society?

 

And anyway, Arya killed the fucking Night King. The show’s most evil villain slain by a female character with a cool knife-drop manoeuvre.

4 of the top 7 characters are female , not sure what the beef is.

I thought that too because he really did. 

The more you think about it the show is really a catalogue of Stark stupidity, including the stupidity of Theon and Jon who were raised with the Starks, and how that caused the deaths of thousands of people.

 

As well as his well documented naiveity in his dealings with the Lannisters, Ned should have agreed to help bump Dany off at the start. 

 

As  well as his general fuckwittery at/North of the Wall, Jon should have jumped at the chance to be King and taken out his bitch.

 

Theon, Rob and Cat's stupidity is well documented elsewhere .

And he dished out punishment and retribution with a smile on his face. It all got a bit serious after he left. And Ramsay Bolton was too OTT for me. 

Ramsay was a terrible villain, pure panto. The best villains think they're the hero, Ramsay didn't give a fuck.
