Part 15/17:
Throughout the discussion, they tout Game of Thrones as a rare bright spot, praising House of the Dragon for its respect for source lore, in contrast with the failings of Wheel of Time and Rings of Power—which they call homogenized, woke garbage. They criticize how companies turn fantasy universes into woke social experiments, ignoring the core of the stories: adventure, heroism, and world-building.
They point out the absurdity of race-swapping iconic characters in Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, and how this is often driven by DEI mandates rather than narrative integrity. These misguided efforts, they say, dilute the stories into boring, politically correct homogenates that betray the original spirit.
