9 Reasons ‘Game of Thrones’ Is Actually a Terrible Show

7. The Show is Exceptionally Misogynistic

If you want proof of that fact, look no further than the extremely long and horrible scene in which Cersei Lannister was paraded through the town completely naked, while being pelted with feces and cursed by the townspeople. It was not pleasant, and there was little artistic merit to the whole thing, if any. Before that, she was raped by her own brother (a vast departure from the story woven by Martin). Then there’s the extremely graphic defiling of a Northerner’s daughters, by a rampaging bunch of members of the Night’s Watch (another scene that’s not found in the books). That’s just two examples of the myriad ways in which women are reduced to sexual stereotypes, or otherwise denigrated on a regular basis on the show.
