Anybody claiming it’s because of wokeism has no real intelligent grasp of the situation.
I fully confess and admit that his delaying of developing a proper ending could have nothing whatsoever to do with current day Hollywood authoritarianism.
My only point is that, because he delayed it so long, and in light of the criticism he's faced from the woke gestapo, it all plays into him being less motivated to finish.
If he was resigned to NOT finish, for whatever reason, and then all this crap arouse, fine. It's a none issue regarding his particular situation.
But the fact remains, things have changed, and him waiting so long will only make his efforts tougher.
Unless he's fully on board with compromising his vision, then that's ok. George does love him some money.

GRRM strikes me as a perfectionist to a degree, hence the infamous “Mereen Knot” referenced in the TV show as a sex technique.
It is a reference to him writing when the Dorne contingent makes it to Mereen with regards to Dany’s wedding, as he was not sure if it was better dramatically for them to appear before, during, or after it.
With him spending that much time pondering one element, I’m not sure that he’s getting paralysis over how the ending will be taken as much as he’s getting up his own arse about how perfectly he wants the story laid out.
The problem is that perfect is the enemy of good. Especially when you are an elderly obese man who still has at least one more, if not two more, books to go after Winds Of Winter.

So you spend an entire threads arguing a show you haven’t seen adapting a book you haven’t read is filled with Hollywood wokism.
And you argue that Hollywood wokism is the reason that George rr Martin hasn’t finished the series.
Yet the Hollywood adaptation of the series is done.
There is no need to worry about that.
Additionally he has continued to work.
Notably fire and blood for which house of the dragon is based on.
Mind you there is plenty of violence and nudity that satisfy you if you were to read it.
Perhaps they adapted the portion of the story because of comments like yours and wanted people to focus on the story telling and world building.
Not because of any “wokeness” at all
Also. Maybe George is kind of a coward and doesn’t know how to end it without some fans having backlash about the story (ie bran) and he’s scared of criticism

It has nothing to do with the “woke gestapo”. He hasn’t received some deafening criticism over his content. It’s been universally accepted by a large chunk of fans (see the ongoing development of House of the Dragon and now Aegon’s Conquest and Dunk and Egg by HBO).
He regularly shite talks his fans on his blog. He claims he can only write at home, but then (especially pre-COVID) was spending loads of time at cons, traveling, and writing about literally anything else but ASOIAF. Since A Dance with Dragons he has written 10 other books/content about the ASOIAF universe as well as 9 Wild Cards stories. And has done writing for multiple TV shows, Dark Winds on AMC as maybe the most well known example.
It’s clear to anyone paying attention that he doesn’t know what else to write about the original ASOIAF series. He’s stuck. He tested his ending through the show and he doesn’t know what to do with the negative reaction. It’s not that he doesn’t have time or the ability to produce content. Or that he’s scared of some “woke gestapo” (
). He just is too ashamed to admit he doesn’t know where to go and he refuses to let anyone help him get out of his knot. You quite simply don’t have a clue what you’re talking about here.
