GRRM was woke as frick before woke was a thing.

I remember back in to day every few months checking his Livejournal for updates and all it would be was 3 page rants about George W Bush.

Hating W does not make someone woke. How are you defining it? Because I doubt you even know.

I do think its funny though when people get their panties in a wad over an inaccurate depiction in a movie of a character from a literary work of fiction, but never a peep when Christ has never been accurately depicted on screen base on how he is described in a book base on fact.


Where in the four gospels do we get a physical description of Christ, pray tell?

What % of the 11% ers actually watch this type of television?

Less than .5% likely

That's how much of a frick I think should be given to changing shite to be woke.

Good to see we have some regs in here defending this though...always funny to see. There is clearly nothing that can be done or said that will snap some of you guys out of this trance, huh?

Signed, almost every thread of any popular show on this board where people bitch about these kind of changes

I guarantee with this one, the same folks who are here complaining will be in those threads complaining about the show after having watched it. It never fails.

Almost no one is bothered simply by the inclusion of people of color.

She's right for the most part. Yea, there will be a good bit of people who don't watch this, much more than some people seem to think, but this is a M/TV Board, people who claimed they weren't going to watch will be in that thread bitching.

I hated the ending of GoT as much as anybody. But I love the source material for this and it's not D&D running it. HBO constantly delivers so I don't have a reason to think this won't be good. Having a black guy in it doesn't bother me.

But it's almost guaranteed that the official threads are going to be insufferable.
