I appreciate the well thought out response, but we obviously see these characters very differently. Shit, I thought I was cynical until I read your character analysis on Sam Tarly and Brienne of Tarth.

No moments of grace or hope? Uniformly bad characters?

Wake up, Rusty!

I’m a big fan of gay rights and ASOIAF, too. But yeah, not sure why Kluwe needs to be redundant about the show.

I asked Chris Kluwe, but I’ll open it up to everyone else that said they won’t be watching anymore:

Chris,

Every website that relies on clicks must have regular meetings about how anti-Game of Thrones articles bring in the money. That and making the screen shift so we accidentally click on ads.

I think you need to actually read or reread the book then. The book didn't exactly come off as super consensual.

I’m as a big of a fan/apologist of these books/shows as anyone. I really enjoy what the written and TV story are and contribute on their own merits.

Edit: found the answer.

Finest kind that you still say finest kind.

Charlie, looking back on this now should give us all a good chuckle.

+ many many 1s.

Ok, thanks Joe.

No need to apologize. I was being fake internet angry at you (but real angry at previously mentioned Cubs fans).

Sadly, no. I haven't made a good subtle joke here since 2012.

Jesus. I only typed about thirty words and you couldn’t even read them all?

I will never root for a Cubs World Series win until I have concrete confirmation that the people that threw beer and food at Steve Bartman are dead.

Do you guys compensate for the thirty times a day I accidentally click on the wrong story on my phone because you intentionally make the screen shift right after the site loads?

Great Anthony Mason tribute?
