The child bride stuff tho is pretty wtf…
I mean depicting feudal lords as child-marrying creeps isn’t exactly an endorsement of said behavior so much as an accurate depiction of what feudal lords were (ignore the part where they have dragons)
It’s not an accurate depiction. Europeans generally didn’t marry as children in the time period they’re roughly portraying. They’re doing it for titillations.
while enjoying this product meant for entertainment purposes.
well that’s the thing, isn’t it? Humans often listen to songs that make them sad, or watch documentaries that make them mad, or read books that make them think. The vague assertion that something is “entertainment” implies that anything gross or excessive being depicted by said “entertainment” is intended to be enjoyed for its exploitative qualities, like some kind of gladiatorial bloodsport.
Entertainment leads to the provocation of various emotions, both positive and negative, which leads to reflection on the part of the audience. Entertainment often makes us uncomfortable. It’s not purely for enjoyment or titillation. The depiction of people with complicated lives and problematic behavior is often misconstrued as an endorsement of said behavior or even an exploitative attempt at titillating sickos. I think this might somewhat be the case with Gambo Thrones, so I’m not gonna stick my neck out too hard to defend it, but I find this analysis has its limitations. I endorse exploitation-free entertainment, content warnings, and people being free to not watch things that disturb them. But I don’t think a depiction of something problematic is inherently meant to “titillate” regardless of context.

You made this exact assertion in this exact struggle session and did not respond to Harry Limes who pointed out you were wrong. Why do you continue being wrong on purpose?
I said the average age of marriage was 18-25. Harry pointed out one specific example of an exception that rule. Do with that what you will.
I’m sitting here imagining bazinga brain dude bros watching Come and See, would they actually be moved by it or reject it because it’s from gommulist country and not Saving Private Ryan?
They didn’t do that, and so far there has been zero sexual violence. The only nudity has been in a whorehouse because one of the main characters has a romantic relationship with a prostitute and she was only nude in that one scene. Later in that episode there is some background nudity when the same main character has a party at the same establishment.
