Is this not the most egregious example of the PC SJW mindset running amok?


Some ranting SJW on the ASOIAF forum is claiming that eliminating the Dothraki was a 'racist' act. In the context of the show, it was a strategically unsound act, a dumb act, but 'racist'? Come on!

"Dothraki" is not a real race. Not one Dothraki person has ever lived in the history of the entire world. They are a fictional made up people with a basis inspired by Mongols and American Plains tribes like the Comanche and Sioux. HOW can any action toward a fictional race be construed as 'problematic' and 'racist'?

This person probably organized protest marches against the unfair treatment of Orcs in LOTR.

Not just that, but character wise- they’d probably really be the first ones to just ride out in all their (thoughtless) bravery and hotheadedness’s, being all pumped just because they have flaming swords...
I don’t think anyone actually gave them the command.
And, while strategically dumb, it made the scene more tense.
I would have been scared to death seeing all the lights being snuffed out one by one and those, seemingly fearless warriors running back scared $&@;less.
