Because you're naive and oblivious to what happens in the real world?
GoT was known for 2 things. Nudity and violence. OK, 3 things, if you count dragons.
What's happened since GoT first appeared on HBO 13 years ago? The #MeToo nonsense.
Also, GRRM was bit in the arse by woke nerds (these are the folks who LOVE him, right?) for butchering the pronunciation of one writer, Rebecca F Kuang. A sin of epic proportion.
HUGO award controversy
Virtual attendees noted that in his remarks, Martin seemed to dwell on praising white male writers of old, including some with a history of racism, rather than engaging with the nominees and their work. The Hugo Awards were first held in 1953, but it wasn't until 2016 that a Black person, acclaimed author N.K. Jemisin, won the prize for best novel. She also took home the prize in 2017 and 2018, making her the only writer ever to pull off a best novel hat trick. According to former Hugo nominee Natalie Luhrs, Martin mentioned this feat, but quickly pivoted to praising a white male author who also won the award three times in a nine-year span.
Accused of collaborating with non-inclusive (racist) authors.
Bottom line is that when he wrote these books so many years ago, sex and violence towards women were common place. Far more so in the source material than even made it to the small screen. But because he's taken so damn long to finish the story, Hollywood has changed drastically.
Yes, it falls back to THIS because THIS is what Hollywood has become.

Oh God here go with muh wokeism again. George won’t finish the books because he’s lazy or he simply doesn’t know how to properly finish it. Has nothing to with your stupid boogey man or some people whining on twitter

Not sure why anyone would even bother reading the rest of your post if your so simple minded that you think that’s all ASOIAF is known for.

This was literally a thread only about a new show being in the works and you somehow circled back to wokeness

Not going to read through 6 pages of arguing back and forth but would like to add to your post on page 1 that there hasn’t been a white male Hugo award winner for best novel since the Obama administration. All but 1 are female. So yeah I’d agree that at least they are woke
