They’re calling him some pretty shitty stuff already, as well as making assumptions about a bestselling novelist who’s written 5 long books, among other things. If that’s not enough for them, I don’t know what could be. So yeah, give them your worst George.

I’m kind of in the same boat. Ending’s done, he’s swimming in HBO money, what’s anyone gonna do, call him mean names?  Time to just fuck off and retire.

You know what, at this point I’m rooting for him to never finish ASOIAF. Take it to the grave, my man. I have never seen such an ungrateful, impatient, ignorant fan base.

I believe that people have actual feelings about this. It’s when money or self-branding get involved that red flags go up. Nothing about gender or sexuality prevents people from being human and acting in their own self-interest. That’s my point here. 

Good faith? My entire argument here is giving good faith chances to people based solely on their word is bad reasoning. On one side is a major corporation, on the other is podcasting and content creation, and in the middle is i09. All monetized, all in it for something, the least of which is “progress”. Grow up and…

You believe content creators based solely on good faith, and call ME stupid? Learn how humans actually work and get back to me.

Like this has anything whatsoever to do with someone’s sexual preference. But you sound otherwise normal.

LOL

If I podcast about it and write James an email outlining my grievances about it, along with my permission to publish, will you believe me then? And if I do, will you smash that subscribe button?

A “problem” to few, a nothing to most, but Prime Content to Chase and James Whitbrook. Use your brain. 

And what do you think you sound like when you defend racial slurs and the assholes who use them? I mean besides the beacon of change for oppressed peoples everywhere.

Chase, the aggrieved SW content creator, doesn’t care about that though, he wants to be personally validated and apologized to. I doubt he’s a French game dev on the side.

No worries, you too can soon feel validated and acknowledged in whatever perceived video game victimhood you can imagine. Make sure to smash that subscribe button!

An eclipse is when the ego blots out the sun. 

“At the bare minimum, though, I want to be heard and validated by Lucasfilm. I want Lucasfilm to acknowledge and apologize for the hurt they have caused and for them to show us some empathy and understanding of what has been an archaic and egregious decision.”

A Grain of Truth is my favorite of the short stories. 

In related news, they’ve announced the casting for Toph!

Y’all ain’t never gettin’ that book.

It’s a meme at this point, and Martin knows it. At this point I wouldn’t be surprised in the least to hear that he got 1/4th of the way into it and said “waitaminute, I’m rich, fuck this...why should I spend so much time and energy on a book a bunch of whiny so-called “fans” are…

If you took the sass out of assassin, it would be a sin.
