Can Girls Watch Game of Thrones?

Girls have eyes to observe and hands to operate a remote control. So, why should they be denied the chance to enjoy a show like Game of Thrones?

They Can, and They Do Watch GoT

Many women are dedicated fans of Game of Thrones, and the female viewer base is steadily growing. However, certain plot lines and scenes may be overly intense for some female viewers. The initial seasons were filled with misogyny, incest, and adultery, topics that are both offensive and distressing for both men and women, but especially so for women. The show is also quite violent, featuring scenes such as decapitations and brutal killings. Therefore, it's important to be prepared for these elements before diving into the series.

Who Can Watch Game of Thrones?

Are you 18 years of age or older? Do you watch any TV series? Does fantasy drama interest you? Are you a human, girl or boy?

If your answer to all of the above is a resounding YES, then you are ready to experience this mind-blowing series with its twists and turns that you've never expected before.

PPS. Be prepared to detach emotionally from some characters as they might meet their demise!

Scenes Involving Women

While Game of Thrones is known for its adult themes, there are certain scenes that involve women. Female nudity and intimate scenes are included, such as a scene in Season 2 where Littlefinger watches two prostitutes engage in a sexual encounter. For those who prefer men in intimate scenes, there's also the relationship between Renly and Loras.

Relatable Female Characters

Despite the adult scenes, the show offers a wealth of strong, relatable female characters: Arya, Brienne, Catelyn, Cersei, and Daenerys among others. These characters make the experience of watching Game of Thrones highly enjoyable for many women. In fact, it's almost conceivable that the fan base is made up of more women than men.

According to a Reddit study and my own observations, the number of female Game of Thrones fans is likely to outnumber their male counterparts. This is also reflected in the high view count on sites like Quora, where women dominate among the top writers discussing the show. On other online communities, women are highly represented.

While personal experiences may vary, the story, whether in book form or on screen, has a large and dedicated audience, regardless of gender or age.
