During WWII, the Imperial Japanese government forced hundreds of thousands of women into sexual slavery. This International Women’s Day, I want everyone to remember all the “comfort women” and their continued fight. “Comfort women” is a euphemism that was used by the Japanese army to refer to Women from all around the world - including Korea, China, Philippines, Vietnam, and the Netherlands - who were kidnapped and forced to provide sexual services to their soldiers. How can you help boost their voices? Support organizations advocating for survivors.

House of Sharing: Home for Korean survivors 

Korean Council for Justice & Remembrance 

Lila Pilipina : Organization for Filipina survivors

If you want to financially support survivors, considering donating directly to the Korean Council and the Butterfly Fund - which was established by survivors Kim Bok-Dong and Gil Won-Ok to help victims of sexual abuse around the world: [x]

If you want to help raise awareness for comfort women survivors, please follow Girl of Peace Documentary and donate to our Kickstarter. We’re hoping to create a documentary for an English-speaking audience. There are now only 22 Korean survivors left. It’s imperative that we act now to demand justice for comfort women.

Daenerys’ story isn’t a Greek Tragedy, it’s just a mess.

I think this will be the final piece I will make about this show aside from incoherent shit posts. I am left numb and empty because I can’t even enjoy Dany’s fall from grace due to its awful story structure in the last two seasons.

The thing with character tragedy is that their death is a result of their fatal flaw. Every character has one. Jaime is a good example to use in this case because even though his story was poorly executed too, it’s also acceptable that he couldn’t redeem himself in the end and went back to Cersei’s arms. Loving Cersei was his fatal flaw and it’s what killed him. His story was a tragedy of a man that felt he could never be good and was weighted by past sins he failed to overcome.

Dany’s fatal flaw was her drive for justice. Not just any justice, but absolute justice. You see her character indulge in her fatal flaw, but up until now it was justified. This is a good set up. Crucifying slave masters? Burning traitors? Those that wronged her or her people? All fair, even if you want to argue that the actions were morally grey. One thing that Daenerys has never ever done was harm a completely innocent person that has done no wrong. Keep note of that as we set up this tragedy.

Dany felt wrong and betrayed by her allies (because yeah, they were betraying her) and her enemy had taken her child and her dearest friend away from her. She now has to juggle between taking the Iron Throne despite everyone turning on her and getting her personal vengeance against Cersei. We have a perfect set up now.

Now imagine everything is the same up until the bells start ringing. Dany has won the Iron Throne now, everything she was fighting for. The problem? She hasn’t gotten her justice against Cersei yet. The proper execution of her tragedy would be for her to fly straight to the Red Keep and burn it all down in a fit of rage, burning Cersei, the throne, and every civilian in the castle alive as it crumbles to the ground. 

Her fatal flaw was seeking justice for injustice with no mercy, but in her blind revenge against Cersei she not only destroyed the throne which was her only goal, but she also killed the thousands of innocent people that were in the castle.

That would be an actual tragedy in the proper way that tragedies are written. The problem with the show’s writing is that Dany was right from the start. She SHOULD have flown her three grown dragons to the Red Keep and circled it until Cersei surrendered. That was her original plan. The frustrating thing about her story is that everyone– namely Tyrion, kept failing her and she kept listening. She didn’t lose ANYTHING because of her fatal flaw. She lot everything because of the failures of everyone around her until it drove her crazy and she snapped. The writing still doesn’t even make sense because it wrote itself into a corner. If the throne or revenge against Cersei was what broke Dany, it still doesn’t make sense for her to obliterate Kings Landing. She lost any sort of agency and characterization and became a plot device for the writers to raze everything and start a new system.

Daenerys’ story isn’t an epic tragedy. It’s just an epic failure of writing end execution.

I don’t think writers realize that “strong female character” means “well written female character” and not just “female character who punches stuff and shoots stuff”
