Peter Dinklage is on this show and he is amazing! I keep seeing people blogging photos of him in surprise that he is on the show and he won an Emmy.

No excuses people! Watch Game of Thrones!

So I’m de-lurking to ask you a question. I love your tumblr and I really…

I think GRRM’s portrayal of the Dothraki and the minimal POC in the book series is problematic. 

However, in terms of degree, I think HBO really fucked up with the Dothraki. Dothraki in GRRM are (in my opinion and others please feel free to disagree) are given power, lives, motivations, interests. Not so in the HBO series where they are basically “those weird brown people lol.” 

That’s not to say GRRM doesn’t fuck up on race, he does. But I feel like the difference in degree is notable. 

Man you are making a compelling argument to continue not watching!  Ugh it’s frustrating being on the outside of a really vibrant fandom like this and half-knowing that I’d feel alienated if I decided to get into it.

Thanks for your thoughts, though.
