You knew good and well this was coming. Game of Thrones screenwriters Dan and Dave took advantage of their success and mailed in a nonsensical, contradicting, patriarcal, white supremacist trope-tastic pile of basura that has been universally panned by errbody.

What does it actually mean to be vegan?  It's just hard being smart and woke and beauti- I mean steadfast in our approach to revolutionary ideas. Academia is capitalism and whiteness' way of boxing in the idea of intelligence so don't emm play that.
