I just popped over to Westeros (not long enough to read more than a couple of posts, mind) and I do find it amusing how 95% of the people espousing the notion that GoT is a steaming pile of shit that isn't worth a damn... have avatars that come from the show

No, Konrad. GRRM clearly hates the show and wants it to fail miserably. Yeah, I was in the rant and rave thread today... The people of Westeros have actually deluded themselves into thinking GRRM hates the show? I'm sure he's dealing with his rageboner against the show by tearing up all the piles and piles of money it has made him. Oh yeah, they even have "proof". When GRRM says that he misses character X on the show or that he would have done Y differently, it is actually him telling us how much he hates the show.

The people of Westeros have actually deluded themselves into thinking GRRM hates the show? I'm sure he's dealing with his rageboner against the show by tearing up all the piles and piles of money it has made him. I've managed to wean myself off the urge to go over there and lurk and be baffled at the vitriol that is spewed on a regular basis by the same individuals. I've finally come to realize it's just a private playground of hate for a select few while the vast majority of fans have either been scared off by their aggressiveness or just don't give a shit in between seasons. Those who remain, and claim they hate the show are obsessing on it. If you could follow their posts it would be sad to see just how little they actually contribute to the reading sections or 'real' ASOIAF as they consider it. As you said in another post ... they continue to watch, they even use show images as their avatars, but they hate it. It's bizarre behavior, really. If you hate the goddamn show that much stop posting in the show section and stick to the book purist forums, why is that so difficult? I don't get it and I gave up trying a long time ago. When the good folks here taught me the true colors of the person(s) who own the site was the moment I stopped caring about that over there. It is sadly pointless to support a community that is encouraged by narcissistic hypocrites who have benefited immensely from the popularity of the show to support their site and merchandise/books but bite the hand that feeds them. Fuck them.

I just found this comment on youtube: "Wow that was well deserved, this season was perfect except for: the overuse of religious overtones, barristan selmy's death, tyrion and jorah going through valyria, Jaime's arc being destroyed, a boring uninteresting dorne, the intolerable sand snakes, grey worm and missandei's romance, sansa's development completely destroyed, Emilia Clarke's forced lecture on wheels and the rest of her acting in general, tyrion being whitewashed, Ramsay Boltons 20 good men, stannis baratheon the most iron willed and duty driven character in our story burning his daughter alive for no fucking reason, that shitty pit fight, the disappointing battle of ice, brienne turned into a ruthless killing machine, d&d raping stannis, the for the watch scene, olly, no griffs, arrianne, lady stoneheart and wyman manderly, turning meryn trant into a pedophile for no reason whatsoever, replacing story and character development with shock value and of course the line that clearly made mother's mercy win for best writing....."you want a good girl, but you need a bad pussy". other than those "minor" problems the show is a masterpiece." Someone isn't happy.

It's not about agreeing or disagreeing, I just find it hilarious how they list all of these things, but their explanation for why they happened is "for no fucking reason"

I'm just happy that there are three more seasons for those people to rant and rave over obsessively. I hope it makes them insane.

God, I want to love the show again so bad. I hate being so cynical and negative about something that I used to love, why am I not excited about GoT anymore, what the fuck happened to me.

It's not THAT they disagree with some of us on certain things that pisses people off about the rant and ravers. It's HOW they disagree with others. And you're not like them at all.

It's ok, darling. Lady Stoneheart will be in season 6 and every single episode will be perfect and you'll be happy and win the Heartie for Biggest Show Apologist next year.

LT is much fluffier, so we accept, nay, embrace him.
