‘Game of Thrones’ Fans Boycott George R.R. Martin’s Next Book, Accusing Coauthors of Racism (accuse, money)

[Suburban_Guy]

I doubt any GoT fans are going to care one bit about diversity casting controversies the woke SJW's love to whine about.

Bestselling fantasy author and “House of the Dragon” executive producer George R.R. Martin is caught in the crossfire of the heated battle over inclusive casting — and some of his fans are calling for a boycott of his upcoming book due to comments by its coauthors.

This usually means more book selling.

He should just tell the crowd to go watch "Bros" movie if they want inclusiveness.

That movie could use more money since us "homophobes" won't go see it.

I wonder what they’ll say about my upcoming series about King Arthur and the knights of the round table?

Now even fiction books are being accused of showing a history of racism.
It's fantasy....there is no "history of racism" here. It's make believe.

What a crazy messed up country we are turning into.

they should be equally calling for inclusiveness on boards of directors for such righteous and noble corporations such as Comcast.

Well I think the movie industry got a taste of kow towing to the SJW's....Bros was a total flop.

I don't care about this type of thing on a fantasy show, but me and most of my liberal friends love GoT. Not sure if you are trying to say that it's a show geared toward conservatives? LOL

House of Dragons seems to have a pretty diverse cast and there's also a same-sex love affair going on... anyone who is going to be offended in either direction (too much diversity or too little diversity) is putting too much thought into this, IMO.

This is how they ruined the Star Trek franchise.

The funny thing is people into GOT are obsessive, super fan, nerds. They are going to go into withdrawal trying to quit this. I had the misfortune to stay with somebody for a short while that had a dorky roommate. He would watch GOT and explained every character and relationship on the movie. He was so serious about it. I wasn't that into it.

The thing is though after each show he would quiz me on it. If I got the answers wrong we had to rewatch the last episode before we could move on. That was a long dark winter.
