Brother, no. Please stop apologizing for pedophilia. It was wrong then and it’s wrong now to sexualize minors, even if it was socially acceptable. Also the “then” were referring to is most generously applied to like 800AD or something, but it didn’t exist. And this whole comment you’re replying to is about disliking fictional shows about romance. It’s okay to find fictional romance with minors a line you won’t cross, because it’s entertainment and doesn’t matter, only watch what you like. It doesn’t make you better for liking things that are “more realistic” because it glamorizes pedophilia of an analogous real culture.
that’s how life was in those cultures. it still is in afganistan and other undeveloped peoples where brides are married off at 12.
the concept of adulthood being 18 or later is modern teenagerhood only really existed as a concept post ww2.
What are “those cultures”? Because the person you replied to only mentioned GoT and that’s not a real culture.
nomadic horse peoples. They existed, and they still do in Mongolia, Afganistan, and other remote inland areas with steppe geographies.
The rural tribes in Afganistan are full of trading in children as sex objects to secure political deals and favors.

It doesn’t read as pedophilia apologia to me, and more like a statement that it is unfortunately still done in some cultures on Earth
dumb people think if you acknowledge that something exists, you support it.
Sure, still gross.
it’s ok. the dothraki would have not raped you, just cut off your head because you’re weak and can’t ride a horse.
