Are they aware that HBO didn’t write Game of Thrones or House of The Dragon?

Does anyone really believe that HBO content executives are in the board room saying, "We need more incest shows! Bring me incest!"

I don't think it's a strategy. They're just known for allowing writers to make stories that have challenging or taboo content.

GoT was understandable cause it was pretty shocking, but something that happened in medieval kingdoms. It made great plot points too

House of Dragon...they got weird. We already know the Targs were cool with incest, but they spent WAY too much time on it. I had to skip the beach scene cause it was just cringey to watch and added NOTHING to the story

And it’s not like it’s something they can cut bc it’s very much important to the plot
