So someone on tt is tryna sit there are tell me that somehow GRRM writing constant pain porn is okay? I have by no means read all of his works and I never plan to but from the ones I have read, it's so blatantly obvious?

They're saying that because historically, women, specifically in medieval monarchy, had it bad (for lack of better words) that makes GRRM writing almost every single one of his female characters to be brutalized okay? No?

I truly hate to break it to yall, but ASIOAF is fictional. It's not real. There's dragons and magic and little tree people and giants and zombies and shit, but somehow, some way, it *needs* to be realistic in the sense of sexual assault? These people feel entitled to reading about women being...well, everything 70% of GRRMs female characters have gone through?

They tried to say I wasn't seeing it and that in reality this stuff happens...like I know. I've been SA'd. I don't want to read constant pain porn, but for some reason YOU DO?? Why're you so interested in that shit.

And GRRM doesn't even do it to bring awareness or anything along those lines, it's like he just enjoys writing it.

I'm not saying stop writing about rape completely, I'm not saying it's not an important topic to write about but the way GRRM does it just isn't needed. You can write medieval fantasy without constant rape. It's possible. It's been done. I promise the trauma porn isn't necessary.

Pick up F&B or smth like every woman in that book was groomed, raped, or SA'd in some way. It's disgusting.

The most thoroughly and relentlessly damned, banned, excluded, condemned, forbidden, ostracized, ignored, suppressed, repressed, robbed, brutalized and defamed of all 'Damned Things' is the individual human being. The social engineers, statisticians, psychologists, sociologists, market researchers, landlords, bureaucrats, captains of industry, bankers, governors, commissars, kings and presidents are perpetually forcing this 'Damned Thing' into carefully prepared blueprints and perpetually irritated that the 'Damned Thing' will not fit into the slot assigned it. The theologians call it a sinner and try to reform it. The governor calls it a criminal and tries to punish it. The psychologist calls it a neurotic and tries to cure it. Still, the 'Damned Thing' will not fit into their slots.

On Trump Assassination Attempt. Historically, Brutalization In Politics Precedes Collapse Of Republics. To Prevent The Latter, Spurn The Former. 7/14/2024

Abstract: Brutalizing politics is how the strong, plutocracy, the mood of evil power, creates a struggle that only plutocracy can win. That logic of brutalization has often been traced in history, and most famously with the assassination of the Roman Republic (by the “Optimates”). The attempted assassination of Trump reflects closely the mindset of brutalization that media such as the New York…
