Kentaro Miura has since said that the Idea of Evil chapter is non canon, and that the ideas expressed there needed a bit more working over.

Berserk is far more realistic than Game of Thrones. Further, Mozgus himself was not corrupt, he was just very, very incorrect in ways he had no way of foreseeing. The small town priest that Shierke won over wasn't corrupt either, and the Pope appears to be genuine, albeit very much in...

Great that gives us a time frame of anywhere from a year ago to... ten years ago. Thats a pretty wide margin. Well theres a lot of assumptions implied there, First that it's nearby and not out in the boonies, Second that anyone would hear about what was going on there if it had only just...

Your fan theory that all the wizards are just pretending is interesting, but unsupported by canon.

Thats a very unfair way of looking at it, it's not like we get any commentary on him whatsoever, or really very much commentary from the nobles on anything at all. The few short conversations we see nobles have are generally about specific events they're currently dealing with. Further, it's...

Definitionally if entire regions exist where these things are tacitly acceptable, it cant be contained neatly to those regions. We know Littlefinger can easily sell prostitutes to torture dungeons after all.

"This magic has nothing to do with my god, now everyone stand around and wait while I chant my god's name fifty seven times or the magic wont work."

Or, yknow, King Bran The Blessed Bran, who was locked in an unending struggle with an undead horde and had a half brother who was a psychopath that ruined everything and sacrificed himself trying to break the undead curse, and who had a tragic sister beaten by her husband. Who was reduced to a...

Ironically I find GRRM at his strongest when he eschews "politics and gritty personal character drama" and dives into mythology, which seems to be the exact opposite of what he intended.

A writer might spend years designing a setting around that concept and the knock on effects it would have on culture that would make it different than earth's medieval history.

Murder.

"Nooooooo you cant just kill hitler and say it's because he's gay even if you're not killing anyone else for being gay!!!" "Hahahaha Cothlik Mace go B O N K."

Easy way to refer to the Nobility of westeros, where doing things like torturing hookers to death is common enough practice that Littlefinger can reliably find a market for it. The Nobles from Westeros might as well be the Thing-esque monsters from the movie Society for how little they react to...

Toned things down? What exactly did they do? Think really hard about what we see them do. Not "implications of stuff they said" not "logical conclusions of threats they made to their enemies" think about what we actually see them do. They werent beating gays in the street, they were...

*ahem* The Faith Militant in the show did literally not a single thing wrong and was well on it's way to transforming the setting into one more realistically medieval, which would have benefited everyone except the child eating lunatics.

The lack of armor and being bad at mass warfare.
