It's good to see people with a open mind.
The show may suck (HBO show sucking??) but regardless, stifling freedom of speech in regards to something that is of creative nature and science fiction for our entertainment is ridiculous.
What I mean is that people are outraged that something like this could be created and expressed... they don't care about freedom of speech in that regard, let alone care to explore what the show is truly going to be about.i dont see it as a freedom of speech issue. thats a right that exists between govt. and citizen, not citizen and citizen.
but i also think its completely idiotic for people to protest a show like this. or....bitch about. i doubt they truly care enough to protest. its a historical hypothetical that is worth exploring. if the authors are truly doing it for that purpose, then people should stfu. i doubt theyre doing it for some "south will rise again; slavery was good" bs.

I'm willing to bet money that the show has zero to do with giving a positive outlook on the Confederates let alone to push a "south will rise again" agenda lol. Especially considering that some of the creative forces behind the show are black... not that there is a chance they could "sell out" for their careers/$$ but still, let's be real here. The majority of Americans want nothing to do with a pro-confederate angle, I don't care if you're white, black, grey, republican or democrat... it's a ridiculous notion regardless.
You know what's annoying about GoT? Everyone who watches can't stop trying to get me to watch it. It's everywhere and now they have Ed Sheeran singing it? Wasn't this supposed to be a soap opera about dungeons and dragons but gory or something?
You should definitely watch it. Also watch Rome and The Last Kingdo. Black Sails is good too. There is another one on Netflix about the Hudson Bay Fur company, also a good show.
GoT is very overhyped though. I actually enjoyed both Rome and The Last Kingdom more.
I just looked up their previous works, I'm not sure those two writers are that good. They were handed GoT on a silver platter, an author better than them wrote the story.
Low and behold
What is this about?
If the South would have won, we'd of had it made...Will Hank Williams Jr. be president of the southern states?
