Why is it racist? Is Game of Thrones glorifying medievalism?

I don't think it's racist, but I think it's embarrassing to portray a what if scenario where there's no way they could know how it would actually be

What? Are you against future sci-fi then? Can't possibly know what the future will be like either.

Yet another show that will air racism. I wonder how many times the n-word will be said in the first season. But it's totally ok because of the theme and narrative of the show, it fits!

I hope the show gets made.

The only reason being is, I hope 50 Cent creates a TV show were Black people revolt against the American Goverment after being freed and enslave white people.

Either way I wish they'd do a prequel to GoT. This just seems dumb all around.

TC is whining because he doesn't understand what Alternative History is. I suppose he thinks Harry Turtledove is racist too since his most famous series is about this same idea

In this universe the sun moves closer to the earth, or the ozone got fucked up and people with lighter skin have a harder time to survive. Or Cystic fibrosis is a lot more common. Or America gets taken over with the help of Mexicans, and Native Americans.

Not hard to come up with some BS reason for any of this stupid shit. Maybe it could show that no matter the color of a person they could all become, or already are racist. That racism is a thing that people use to feel soupier to someone when they really aren't and/or as a way to keep themselves in power.

Hold on I should write this shit. I'm not giving away anymore secrets.

It would probably be like how the South is now, except with slavery being more widespread than just the prisons, and an actual theocracy with power.

I know absolutely nothing about the show. Why is it racist? I assume it envisions a United States where the Confederates won and slavery was never abolished. If that's the case, it will probably argue against Confederate values more than it will promote them. It's like arguing that 1984 is an endorsement of totalitarianism. Any dystopian alternate history/sci-fi novel is almost always a criticism on the ideals it portrays.

It's apparently a knockoff of both CSA and The Man in the High Castle, at the same time.

Alternate history doesn't bother me as long as it does not glorify the "villain world." I mean how common is it for an alternate history story where the Nazi win? Too common.

You know what it is? People are fucking sick of a divided America. People have had it with Republican vs Democrat, Fox News vs CNN, Cops vs BLM, TheDonald vs the world. Its nonstop, 24 hours a day. People are fucking tired of it.

The last thing anyone wants to do is turn over to HBO and invest in another story about a divided America. It makes me physically groan at the thought of it. People tune into HBO to get a break from this shit, not ring the bell for round two.

You know what show would probably be a massive hit right now? A West Wing revival. That's the shit people want to see. A government they can believe in and a country not trying to tear itself apart on every single issue.

Proactively lobbying to get a show canceled, without even seeing it first, is something religious loons used to do thirty years ago.
