[Breitbart] Woke LGBTQIA2S+ activists are triggered over House of the Dragon, the long-awaited Game of Thrones prequel series, killing off a gay character in episode five of its first season.
“To introduce a rare couple of queers to the series, only for one of them to be dispatched, quickly, in visceral fashion, leaves an awful taste,” British GQ writer Jack King wrote in a piece, headlined, “Like Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon has a queer problem.”
King was referring to a scene in House of the Dragon, in which Ser Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel) graphically murders Ser Joffrey Lonmouth (Solly McLeod), who is in a homosexual relationship with Laenor Valaryon (Theo Nate).
“It’s not the first time that queer characters have been introduced simply to face their ghoulish, bloody demise,” King lamented, insisting that “treatment of gays” in the Game of Thrones universe “has been a long-standing point of debate.”
While King acknowledged that straight men, women, children — pretty much every type of character — have suffered violence and brutal deaths in the Game of Thrones world (a fantasy series inspired by the Early Middle Ages), he nonetheless claimed that “there are certain demographics who get the brunt of it more than most.”
The British GQ writer also pointed to a 2016 piece, titled, “Game of Thrones Has a Gay Problem,” by Vulture’s Brian Moylan, who complained that gay characters in the original series “met especially bloody and ignominious deaths” — omitting the fact that a total of 6,887 characters died throughout the course of the series.
Amusingly, King went on to say that House of the Dragon — set in a time period reminiscent of the European Dark Ages — “feels outdated.”
“It’s not just the gays that get the short end of it in the world of Game of Thrones, but it’s unsettling that, even in 2022, a roomful of writers might still default to the same trope,” the writer complained.
Criston Cole’s motive for killing Joffrey Lonmouth, however, did not appear to be because the character was gay, as the murder happened shortly after Lonmouth revealed that he knew Cole’s secret: that he had slept with Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Milly Alcock).
Nonetheless, viewers rushed to social media to deem the fictional House of the Dragon character “homophobic.”

Their whole thing for *decades* is "we just want to be treated normally. Just like everyone else!"
Well now they're getting it and they hate it. Turns out, what they wanted was special treatment the whole time. Remember this next time they demand something.

I can't wait for the accusations of "price gauging" at filling stations and airlines.
I forget which storm it was some years ago, but remember when THE GOVERNMENT told people to evacuate; so, of course they got on planes and drove their vehicles away only to have the storm be a veritable nothing burger. Faulty government proclamations cost people thousands upon thousands of dollars--and for what? Surely that government agency continues to be funded.
I am seeing prices at $51 a can in Wally World. At checkout, I saw people getting 4+ cans with WIC & other Gov. vouchers.
I started to wonder if the babies are getting all the milk. Or did that explain the Flea Market tables selling the same brand powdered milk at $25 a can.

[Rudaw] Only glimpses of videos that make it online show the protests convulsing Iran ...The nation is noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence... over the death of a 22-year-old woman who were tossed into the calaboose by the nation’s morality police.
But those flashes show that public anger across the country, once only simmering, is now boiling.
