653027, I don't think this story warrants an in-depth analysis of slavery

It's incidental despite being used as a key element of Dany's character development. With the depth and magnitude of this story being what it is, there is absolutely zero need to delve into that subject with any great detail. Why take the long view on that topic when there's about a thousand elements far more pressing and pertinent to a story that is already so vastly detailed?

This isn't the property people should use as an example of conditioned conditioning. If anything, near complete lack dark skinned/minority characters outside of the slaves and the "savage" Dothraki is worth discussing. Those are depicitions of minorities worth discussing.

A young woman embarking on a journey toward her rightful place as Queens through an essentially humanitarian path, however, is barely worth mentioning.

So, the overall depiction of minorities on the show=worth discussing
This one particular element is not.
