“I will make certain to keep my pouch full of pennies. “Spread your legs for the Halfman, now,” they were shouting in the brothels and wine sinks, if the sellsword could be believed. Bronn said they were calling it the dwarf’s penny in the streets. Needless to say, as master of coin, Tyrion had gotten all the blame for it. The King’s Hand felt it might help improve the morals of the city.” And pay for Joffrey’s wedding besides. “It is a tax on whoring,” said Tyrion, irritated all over again. He claimed that you had put a tax on women’s privy purses.” “While we are speaking of amusement, I heard a curious tale from Lord Buckler’s steward. When he first arrives to King’s Landing, he starts looking for a brothel and inquires with Tyrion about it. It was said that he bedded men and women both, and had begotten bastard girls all over Dorne.

Oberyn is very promiscious (just like almost all the Dornish). Oberyn - the first Dornish we get to know - spends a lot of his time with his concubine Ellaria in a brothel. Its population copulate very freely and easily, they participate in orgies, there is no pressure on highborn Ladies to be maidens for their future husbands. And prostitution is her business (sort of like, Littlefinger, you know).ĭorne (GRRM described the Dornish as being Mediterranean-like looking) is a very liberal place in Westeros. The first one is a whore and the second one is a former whore who is now the owner of the brothel. The two black women in King’s Landing - Alayaya and Chataya, who are Summer Islanders - are a daughter and a mother, and they work in prostituion. There are few black/POC characters, but the ones we have aren’t exactly the Maiden.

While by no means I try to defend the show (it is sexist and badly written, full of plot holes and mischaracterizations), I do not think this one is a valid critique because … did you have a look at the books? One of the critic directed at Game of Thrones I see on here is that the show is racist because it sexualized black women.
