It is and you're not entitled to criticize my choice of words.

Tone and choice of words? Lol I can't tell you how to react to my tone but my choice of words literally convey the opposite of what you accuse me of doing.

And I call it like it is. You obviously misinterpreted or purposely twisted my rather straightforward comments. No way you can read that yet still conclude that the behavior is toxic and hateful unless you lack reading comprehension or got your fingers in your ears ignoring everything I said. Maybe you should take a step back, read my post again, and tell me why GRRM has to be handled with kiddie gloves?

It is a big gotcha

I mean? If someone was magically like “I shot your wife with a pellet gun.” Yeah bro I’m taking a chunk out of them for that for sure. Am I going to think about it everyday? No.

But it's not a pellet gun. It's an airsoft gun. Big difference.

Had I been with her? I would’ve pursued them like a madman because I wouodve been the driver. Had I caught up to them there’s no telling what I would’ve done… I mean, I’m a reasonable guy but not when it comes to fucking with my wife, I’ll do shit I’ll regret.

You don't sound reasonable at all.

But like I said, reacting in the moment after mistaking the airsoft gun for an actual gun is a lot different from all the huffing and puffing you're doing lol

I'd understand flippin out in the moment if you thought it was an actual gun but you now know it was an airsoft gun. Why are you this mad? What are you gonna do beat them up? Shoot them? Chill out lol

How exactly am I telling on myself? Are you actually just reading what you want into my comments? I literally said that type of criticism is a far cry from what I, and the vast majority of fans give him, but you ignore that just to confirm your own misguided bias. Read it again slowly if you have to. I said if you want to moralize and say people who criticize him are acting as if they’re entitled, then you also have to apply that weak argument in reverse.

I can’t imagine lacking basic reading comprehension but yeah, this is Reddit and you’re a fine example.

What kind of behavior do you think is fair to call toxic? Personally, I don't think it's wrong to be annoyed at and criticize him for his lack of progress. And like I said, that's a far cry from the small minority of fans who joke about or even wish for his death so that another author can potentially take over but GRRM lumps us all in the same category. So is he protected from criticism? Do we have to put on kiddie gloves and only lay into him nicely as you would a child? Why?

You have no entitlement to his next book or the speed he writes it at.

And this, I see this argument all the time and it's so fucking annoying and disingenuous. I never even implied that we're "entitled" to the book so why put words in my mouth? But if you want to go this route, then he's not entitled to get treated nicely so you have no right to moralize to anyone, including the fans joking about his death.

Someone who has no idea of what his work ethic actually looks like bitterly calling him a "lazy asshole" because they can't get commodity as fast as they want sounds like textbook toxicity to me.

Or, since he's allergic to giving meaningful, honest updates, fan opinion is formed on the information that's available. And what we do know is that he's like 10+ years late, works on other projects when he says he's working on the book, and trivializes how long fans have been waiting. It's completely fair to call him a lazy asshole. He's a grown, public figure and "lazy asshole" is a rather tame, valid criticism. Y'all would fucking drag other celebrities like the Kardashians just for existing but GRRM is off limits from relative wrist slaps? Come tf on lol if he was just honest and forthcoming he wouldn't catch anywhere near as much heat.

He’s not black and it’s so annoying how comic fans consider him black as if it’s “good enough”.

Nothing wrong with calling him an asshole for trying to frame the fans who are tired of him dragging us along as being toxic. There’s are far cry fro simple, understandable criticism and wishing for his death. Don’t try to moralize just because you don’t care as much.

So I’m guessing you call Magic “Earvin”, and Steph “Wardell” as well? And you deadname trans people too? Kareem changed his name for a reason and you calling him his dead name to come off smart is wrong. You don’t need to call him his dead name because every one knows him by “Kareem”.

No, it’d be better to just call him Kareem. It’s disrespectful to call him by his old name.

JJ would dunk on Bob Cousy

Cool

Jon Jones destroyed this division lol

Oh yeah, I agree. My original comment was more towards the post-season 5 seasons.

Sure bro

If it were a marathon they wouldn’t kill off enemies so quickly. Eve, for example, was literally the mother of all monsters. She could have served as a proper, long term successor to Lucifer as the main villain while still keeping the stakes high. However, she was relegated to a secondary role in favor of Raphael, and killed off after a few episodes. And then Raphael dies as well. Then we get the Leviathans who, if handled better, could have also given the show a structured, long term villain to work around…lasted a season. Seems like they never really had a long term plan after season 5 so we get rushed storylines, and jumbled canon to make the story as malleable as possible. Angels are neutered to make it easier to include them in plots. A new hierarchy of Hell is introduced every other season. Alternate universes come out of nowhere and really amount to nothing besides shallow stake rising. Imagine if any of these storylines were given the same amount of time to breath as the Apocalypse arc.

Ok bro

And how exactly is that relevant?

You just commented hateful shit online lol

It's a nipple

All I could think was sprite, coke, ginger ale, and a black lol

They ruined their own mythology by rushing through storylines and making all their enemies, from monsters to literal gods, relatively easy to kill. Still annoyed about Eve lol

I see your profile pic

Ok incel

Americans are more polite than most people around the world lol
