That's fine. Since I assume this scenario is in America there will be plenty of prison gay going on instead.

Aren't there a shitton of sex scenes in GoT though?

There are some

To advance plot elements and demonstrate character motivations though

That could be true but most of these things couldn’t be framed by Cowl as a benefit. They would come across as an imposition.

So then he's just that annoying TV who's trying to get us to watch something we aren't interested in or don't like watching. That's pretty much the only. reason why he's doing this.

Wait a second.

IM is using GoT because it, apparently, promotes honor and valor. Leaving aside the question of whether that's actually true, is the guy seriously trying to teach me about honor by stabbing my teammate in the back?

Obviously, the only correct answer is option one. This Mr. Antagonist has refused to follow my obviously good advise and seems to be only winning because of my machines. I'm surprised I didn't ditch this guy already. So yeah, I'll take the privileges. In fact, I'll probably join the good guys once this whole thing is done. I'm most likely only doing this for money anyway.

However, I must object to the GoT episodes, I don't like that show. I'll take all Top Gear and The Grand Tour episodes plus a few movies.

Why ? Is Captain Cowl homophobic ? Are we certain he is the GOOD guy ?

Why because it shows sex? Because game of thrones shows sex on like a regular basis. Including lovely stuff such as incest. Or is he just homophobic?

I see. So he is a hero similar to this:

And perhaps overthrowing him is good (TM).

Captain Cowl only offered game of thrones in part because he hoped that you would adopt the values of Honour, Valor, and Loyalty. After all, the finale does in its own way reaffirm the importance of using power benevolently.

Well, thanks for showing that you don't understand what GoT is about.

This is a children's cartoon and IM's rip-off of Batman is a conservative Christian.

But the bribe on offer is a DVD boxset of the Tits and Dragons show.

Mind you, when you consider how many highly conservative Christian preachers have been charged for various acts of sexual impropriety, it's not that big a stretch that Bible Batman's favourite show would be one filled with violence and sex.

I accept on the condition that he sets up the TV right here and now.

Then I flip to one of the many scenes of violent bloody murder in the show and cause our Saturday morning cartoon to get cancelled, thus single handedly ending the universe.
