Dead Ideas: The History of Extinct Thoughts and Practices - Gender in Game of Thrones: Its Legacy

Gender in Game of Thrones: Its Legacy

05/19/19 • -1 min

Dead Ideas: The History of Extinct Thoughts and Practices
What will Game of Thrones be remembered for? I would argue it's not its supposed character realism, nor it's moral ambiguity. Rather, it will be its depiction of unusual gender identities in fantasy. No other major fantasy show that I can think of does that. In the spirit of our upcoming show the History of Sex, let's talk about gender in Game of Thrones!
