I don't get this line of thought. Does that mean we need to be mad that Hodor or Arya didn't get naked too? It just sounds like you're saying that because there's some nudity people are owed nudity from all the actors.

    Basically when a piece of art is radical, expect a radical response. So being "shocked" is silly to me. That's all.

    There are plenty of shows where people appear nude, so what makes GoT "radical"? And why would it being radical justify people demanding to see the actors nude?

    I never said it justifies it, I just said it is expected because that's how people are. So being shocked about it is ridiculous to me. It's bad, but don't be "shocked" after being a part of a piece of radical art.

    Ok however you want to phrase it you're still dancing around the meaning of radical and how it creates this expectation.

    In this case the meaning of radical is the presentation of intense nudity usually in the form of incest. I hope that cleared it up.

    Not remotely - for starters there isn't intense nudity, especially not compared to plenty of others shows, but even if it was and that made it radical, why does some nudity mean people will expect nudity from everyone?
