And the "beginner" member who posted it should be purged.

It's a clip about a fight between a man and a woman, with usual back and forth - which is normal in a typical movie "scenario" (which is what this video is all about, I guess)
And by the way, I think the lady wins in the end - this a "girl power" serie, pretty much like KickAssKandy etc.

This is a common enough thread all through fantasy writing, but not so much SF. In Tolkein's Hobbit, when the trolls were deciding how to cook the dwarves (or sit on them and squash them to jelly), nobody was sickened by the violence. Its just trolls and dwarves and hobbits, after all. But I wouldn't want to see that kind of scene portrayed on your usual TV drama with some Sumo wrestlers and some normal little kids.
This is where Game of Thrones sometimes gets a bit uncomfortable. The violence is horrific, but its just far enough across the fantasy line that most of us accept it, although maybe with a queasy stomach. On the other hand, a vocal minority don't think George RR Martin's stories are across the line far enough.
So I guess George is showing us the line in GOT.
Now if George would just give Daenerys the ability to fly with her dragons and become unhurtable (she can already resist fire), or give Cersei fantastic strength, then George would have moved further across the line into "violent appropriate' fantasy.
(Sure wish I could whisper in his ear.)

I'm not interested in a back and forth between a man and a woman, even if the woman wins. I don't like seeing a big bloke beating up a petite woman. Why fantasise about that even if she does come back at the end? That sort of thing happens in real life too often as it is.

If we move our scenes of death and destruction far enough out into the fantasy world, then its all nice and shiny. But if its too close to real life, then it's dark and uncomfortable.

I think that there's one more caveat in all of this: the purpose of this violence.
There's a general consesus that GOT is pretty damn dark and uncomfortabe when it comes to representing violence, but does that feel inappropriate?
In my opinion it doesn't. While there are fantastic universes much less graphic in their depiction of violence, what George Martin (and the CBS crew) does feels perfectly in tone with the story. In many others fictional universe that wouldn't work.
Same with our stories, sometimes it works to have violence going either direction (I remember one such discussion about the first chapter of Miss Dymano being very much on the edge), other times it doesn't.

Yet anyone who has worked in an emergency room will tell you how horrific gun violence is on the victims. Organs torn apart, etc.
Also, we have state-sponsored violence (OK) versus the individual kind (not OK). But if you are on the receiving end, does it really matter?
I suspect anthropologists of the future might someday categorize the various forms of violence in society and fiction (and our acceptance of various forms) as indicators of deep psychological and social trends in our cultures. All I know is that its very weird how we accept violence in some contexts but not in others. Makes my head hurt if I try to puzzle it out. But our gut reactions probably say more about us than any reasoned response.
