I am truly grateful that the cultural monolith that was Gambo Thrones has sort of faded away to the point that I don't have to know much of anything about this particular slop. I truly don't have much to say about it except "this slop isn't known for having satisfactory conclusions or completing story arcs, so are you actually surprised it keeps happening?"
That said, I'm still baffled by one of my chud relative's takes on Gambo Thrones. He bragged about how "mature" his two preteen kids were, boasted about how he'd have Gambo Thrones on, full murderfucking and all, and he bragged the kids didn't care and kept playing with Legos on the carpet. He was one of those "everything is for babies unless it's soaked in blood and has lots of cussing" very mature adult types, 50 going on 15, basically.
That is, until a gay blowjob happened on the show, apparently.
He was full about that, unprompted, during a very awkward holiday visit. He ranted with rage to the point of embarrassing himself in public, all because his kids "could have seen that and it would have fucked up their minds."
TL;DR: Does the new Gambo have gay blowjobs? I sure hope so.
I have become known as "the guy who doesnt watch game of thrones" in my friend group and I've never felt more accepted or accomplished.
It was a very exhausting and awkward bunch of lunchtime and after-class conversations with faculty, along with endless magazine covers and other media mentions I didn't ask for and didn't want, and what I learned about Gambo Thrones was through osmosis because DAE LE RED WEDDING and DAE LE SHAME were primary and redundant conversation topics that I had nothing to say about except "I don't watch that" which often got responses like "WHY NOT? ARE YOU A PRUDE?" and of course "YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS CLIP, THIS PARTICULAR MURDERFUCKING WILL PULL YOU IN!"
The only close runner up for aggressively proselytizing fandom in the same time period was for Richard and Mortimer, and the overlap between the two fandoms sometimes seemed like a circle.
Why are people obsessed with Watching movies with people walking around farting and pretend fighting in rubber suits? (cape shit)
You know, now that you mention it, I may have somehow blacked out much of my second-hand exposure to capeshit. It was also everywhere, I was constantly asked if I watched Side Movie #7 and Side Show #3 so I understood the reference in Main Movie #9 or whatever, but I guess I just found it obnoxious and redundant instead of both that and grotesque and edgy for edginess' sake.
Joss Whedon being a creep didn't surprise me and was a bit of schadenfreude years after his rise to cultural dominance.
