Fair questions. I don't have a perfect answer to the first one - I'm not a writer. However, the show got popular not because of the fantasy elements (I believe), but because the plot was relatable. My impression is that a lot of people appreciated how characters were positioned in morally gray areas rather than this typical "good vs evil". Yes, the good vs evil is there in the form of white walkers, but it's a backdrop. If a show changes its tone the way GoT has done, it's bound to lose a lot of its original fan base.

I'm basing that on the latest couple of seasons vs the first couple of seasons. They were more about political intrigue and barely had any action in them at all. In fact, a lot of the battles happened off-screen. Now there's barely any political intrigue and the seasons are centered on "epic" battles, while the plot is just a means to that end. --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage. It has two. |

Bat178 posted...The Russians expanded east from Eastern Europe, took over North Asia and displaced most of the native population (Pretty much the same thing that happened to the Native Americans in the US (Who actually descended from native North Asians) and Aboriginals in Australia, though with not as much violence in Russia's case), which is why most modern North Asians look a lot more like Europeans and Americans than Kazakhs, Mongolians, Chinese or Japanese even though they border those countries and are culturally closer to Europe than the rest of Asia. The native peoples in North Asia that still remain look and are culturally much closer to Central and East Asians, though. The Soviet government was also known to displace and disperse indigenous populations, and they were pretty imperialistic at certain points.

| scar the 1 08/29/17 12:10:46 PM #75 | darkjedilink posted... I've been pulled over for being white. So much for white privilege. Too bad for you. Your experience doesn't really take anything away from the concept of privilege. White privilege doesn't translate to "whites don't experience mistreatment". Of course there are people who can understand what typically is a "minority experience". If you grew up being a white minority in a black community, of course you might even more know what parts of it feel like. That's not the point. The point is that many members of the privileged group will be completely oblivious to a set of problems they've never had to encounter, simply because they're members of that group. Problem is that it gets interpreted by defensive members of the privileged group as some sort of competition in "who had it worse", while the point of it is rather to identify the fact that different groups face different sets of problems. --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage.

| scar the 1 08/29/17 10:54:41 AM #21 | AlternativeFAQS posted... jfc No. It means that there are specific hardships that the class of white people don't have to face, meaning that, on average, it's difficult to understand how it feels to be <any minority>. One such example would be how black people get pulled over for being black. For that reason, whenever there's a police car on the road, a completely innocent black person might feel exposed/threatened/nervous in a way that is difficult or rare for a white person to experience. In these contexts, a privileged group refers to a group that is exempt from specific hardships endured by an oppressed group. It's not "on average white people have it better". It's "even if a white person has it much much worse in any other sense, they don't have this specific problem". --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage. It has two. |

If the only thing you can do against bad opinions is to censor them then you just look narrow minded, unreasonable, and unable properly debate opposing opinions without childishly resorting to "shut up". You can keep up atrocious opinions without being associated with them. If you're the one providing a platform to those opinions, you can't really keep them up without being associated with them. Private actors have no obligation to refrain from censoring their own platforms, nor should we expect them to. Or should people have a constitutional right to put "Support Hillary" signs on your lawn (paid for) without your consent, just because you put a MAGA sign on there first?
