>Black people in ASOIAF live on tropical islands worshipping sex and eating fruit

People who praise ASOIAF's worldbuilding don't realize he just used medieval stereotypes of the world and called it a day.

Honestly wouldn't mind living on a tropical island and getting negress pussy, only problem would be not eating meat. Summer Islanders are the superior people.

That is literally my (skinny) body.
Why does it look so pathetic in the picture though.
Only cause it has Bieber's head on it, r-right?

Not to mention that you could raid livestock, transport it to the island and raise it so you have a steady supply of mammalian meat

People call him that because his series reached that same popularity and had a monster of a media showing.

>Not eating meat
>not eating the succulent flesh of enemy tribes at the end of a victorious raid with your darkened bros

That's my point though, the fact that I couldn't do that is the only thing holding me back.

Im saying you would eat meat, you just gotta eat the flesh of your enemies during some inter tribal bants.

The summerset isles are fantasy Caribbean/South Seas
His Africa is Sothoryos: jungle continent completely unexplored with horrible monsters and different kinds of ultra-HIV, this is how the inhabitants are described on the wiki:
> Sothoryos men are described as brindle-skinned half-men by Daenerys Targaryen.[8] Their brindled skin is thick, often in patterns of brown and white. They are big-boned and massively muscled, with long arms, sloped foreheads, huge square teeth, heavy jaws and coarse black hair. Their broad, flat noses suggest snouts. Sothoryi women are said to be unable to breed with men from Essos or Westeros, only bringing forth stillbirths or malformed offspring.[7]
>The Sothoryi mostly known to the corsairs of the neighboring Basilisk Isles are those who dwell closest to the sea on the northern shore, who have learned the Trade Talk. The Ghiscari consider them to be slow of wit but fierce fighters that make good slaves. Farther south, the Sothoryi are more savage, known for cannibalism and worshiping dark gods with obscene rites.
Martin was secretly based all along.

Are Summer Islanders cannibals? It would have to be socially acceptable.
>That creepy fuck tried to eat a pirate, keep him away from the Pleasure Temples
