Lena Headey Rips Hollywood for Protecting ‘Predatory Men,’ Says ‘Game of Thrones’ Toxic Fans Got Mad She Didn’t Go Nude: ‘I Was Shocked by the Anger’

I remember the countdown people had for when Maisie Williams was 18 and could do a nude scene and just being so disappointed in fellow men. I just can't understand the shameless entitlement some have.

Yeh it was expected for quite a few of the female leads…but not of the men. She has a fair point, in terms of fans voicing this. Her body her choice.

Who would watch that walk of shame scene and be all “I wish it wasn’t a double, that scene makes me so horny, I’m going to send her hate mail and post online!”

These people need to touch grass.

Definitely men bad gross, for sure for sure.

Buuuuut... I think the real villains are the other men, not the ones getting angry and entitled, but the network execs and ad companies, most of whom are men, that tease here and there, and promote scantily clad photos on billboards or magazines, or write articles or press releases to tempt people.

Sex sells, they say, but sex only sells if you have a market of sex-starved marks who have enough pressure built up over the years of campaigns that when they hear Actress A that's been all over the place nearly slips a nip in this one, they're like "well shit, I've gotta see that"

I don't blame the actresses. Their industry has told them they only get to do their art if it attracts an audience of Men, the only market worth pursuing somehow even in the far flung future of 2026, so the women that want to be allowed to act have to give the men at the ad companies and film studios what they want. And what they want is a career timeline from demure to saucy to scandalous to breasts to nude so each film release can play on pushing the envelope just slightly further than the last one, capitalizing on the demand built up by the previous release, and they can ride that rollercoaster for as long as possible before having to pick another girl.

And the sexually frustrated target men are victims of a different kind. Not of the women, as the incels would have you believe, but of the other men. Because by and large, the women don't want to be in sex scenes, they don't want to flash tatas, or have yet another shower scene for no damn reason. They want to tell stories that are meaningful and emotional and resonant. But so often they're tools for Powerful Men to steal money from Powerless Men, used up and cast aside. And then the frustrated jackasses get mad at the women for it. It's a win-win...

And to be clear, I'm not saying women should be ashamed of their bodies and stay covered up at all times. Quite the opposite! The "pressure" comes from repression. We can walk through a store full of magazines with half-naked people on them, and it would be easy to say "look how liberated this all is, there's skin everywhere", but it's not liberation, it's sexualization. Because it isn't casual skin, it's not relaxed, it's created specifically to titilate, to produce demand, to build pressure.

I have no data on this, but I presume actresses aren't being accosted by naturalists/nudists. They're probably not getting hate mail by people embedded within a kink community. The people with, in my biased view, outlets and balance, with respect for sex and bodies, aren't as susceptible to the machine.

Well, I should have gone to bed an hour ago, because apparently I'm in a mood. 😅

Men Who Don't Give a Shit About the Person They Masturbate To Suddenly Angry They Masturbated To the Wrong Person.

scorned her on social media

Another case of the smallest minority creating the loudest noise. Of course the people who would be upset over a body double would be losing their shit over it. They bitch about everything.

I mean, I could understand some horndog weirdo being disappointed, but mad? Definitely the kind of people that need to be on a list... On that list when you're in front of a judge for SA anything? Congrats, you get the max!

I didn't care for GoT, but I loved her in Dredd. And she didn't get naked there; if she had, it would have ruined the movie. Lena should be a leading actor in Hollywood, but alas, the pedos are in charge.

I watched 2.5 seasons of GoT before I gave up. I thought it sucked, far too much violence and nudity that DID NOT add to the story. If you like GoT, good for you. But for me, it's shit.

Never knew it was a body double. I'll probably forget it was in about 15 mins. Then continue to not care. I still remember that Shame Bell though. Classic lol

Eew. Go watch porn.

I remember my mom asking me to be at her watch party for the finale (I didn’t watch the show). At the end of the episode, one of her male friends made a comment about being disappointed by the lack of nudity. It was gross to hear that.

Didn’t she go nude? I was pretty sure she did.

She definitely should have shown some dick on screen, at least some underball.

That's really sad. All I remember thinking was they did a bad job on the CGI and that it was further indicative of how badly the show was beginning to fall apart despite the best efforts of all the actors involved.

So it was a body double? Who cares. The body double was hot. Also, the scene wasnt written for you to masturbate to.

Ive fallen in love with this woman

I don't care either way, but the idea of a body double for nudity is kind of sad. People feel so ashamed of their body that they feel they need someone to stand in for them.

Dunno who this person is, and this isn't a criticism just something I noticed that struck me as interesting - her wide jaw and prominent lower lip remind me of marionettes in old "supermarionation" shows like Thunderbirds and Fireball XL5.

Honestly I fucking hate that show. I watched the first episode and had to turn it off. It’s literally just porn.

What did she expect?

I personally didn't like GoT because of the nudity but a lot of people loved that aspect. And when a show features so much nudity, it creates an expectation and sets a standard for the series. Someone who willingly signed up for this deserves the the outrage for not meeting the standard. But that ultimately doesn't mean she should be forced to do it, just that she shouldn't be "shocked" given what the show is.
