The response to this article, hell the snarky article itself, and to my comment are proof that “minority” they are not.

“When he started selling the books, and profiting greatly, his piece of art became theirs.”

See that’s a fair and well argued point. I don’t blame you for growing tired and lamenting not waiting. That’s how I began to feel about shows after the Netflix/Binge model became a thing and shows started playing it slow (and getting cancelled early). 

“People are allowed to be annoyed”

I would imagine that he is very much grappling with that reality.

Oh me too, I can’t wait… but I really can. I’m completely fine with him talking as long as he, not just needs but wants. And if I have to face a future where it’s never finished? We’re lucky we have the show in that regard, but otherwise the journey towards that end, is equally as important as the end itself. I do…

Let me know when you start and finish your magnum opus and I’ll come to judge your work ethic.

That’s it:

The ignorance and privilege on display here, is exactly why I hope he never finishes. You don’t deserve it.

Sounds pretty good to me.

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.

Have you been published?

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.

Holy shit… how is this game even considered salvageable at this point?

That was exactly my point also. That they could have taken this as a golden opportunity for an easy win, and instead they only succeeded in scoring an own goal. Some explanation and context would’ve been a bare minimum to ease the less progressive players in (apparently a large subset of their player base), but also so…

“It’s that our society normalizes these ideas to the point that people think its normal. And it only becomes a problem when art actively goes against this. We don’t question why Batman has to be white, but good lord do people take issue with a Black Batman.”

I always felt that The Witcher series, especially the second game, handled race and prejudice quite well -with the elves and Witcher’s-. I mean, the entire series is about people sowing discord to justify their supremacist attitudes and wars.

“What if thats not the case? What if there’s no reason for them to have been white this entire time? What if it wasn’t supposed to be that way, and was instead just lazy? What if there was never an intention for it to be depicted that way?”

The worst part is that these companies claim to care, claim to be trying to solve or circumvent the issue aaaand then they release a brand new edition that’s great for mining or the safe guards to kill mining performance are literally a software toggle the user has access to…

I mean, I’m talking in terms of real world parallels. So for example in The Elder Scrolls, Cyrodiil is equivalent to say America/Europe, Skyrim to Scandinavia and then there’s Hammerfell with its mix of Middle Eastern, Asian and African cultures. So, if that applies to WoW (I have never played and don’t even have a…
