In case anyone thought the Game of Thrones spinoffs were going to be anything but woke garbage

Martin is an executive producer on this show and the other GoT spinoffs, so he absolutely could have put his foot down over the wokecasting and didn't. He's clearly gone senile if he thinks that'll make House of the Dragon attractive to the woke crowd anyway (and he's gonna need them to compensate after further antagonizing the actual fans of his books), they still hate him after last year's Hugo awards to the point that some dangerhair cunt who wrote a piece on him literally titled 'George R.R. Martin Can Fuck Off Into the Sun' is already a Hugo finalist this year.
Ah well, if he hasn't learned anything from such ingratitude after he took a nice big diarrheic shit over the Sad Puppies, he's clearly not going to learn a thing now. He already has his 'fuck you' pile of money, after all. And will still be able to cry into it every day after HOTD inevitably flames out and the aforementioned dangerhair disses him some more in her Hugo acceptance speech.
The former, thanks for catching that.
I tjhink GoT's last season has already badly, if not fatally, injured that boom of fantasy TV shows I thought was imminent close to the end of the last decade. Everything new I hear about Amazon's LOTR further decreases my interest in that show. HOTD itself I'm 90% sure is dead on arrival, D&D managed to kill the franchise so hard that it went from being one of the biggest pop-cultural phenomena of the 2010s to deader-than-wights practicallt overnight and virtually nobody rewatched, memed about or just discussed it all last year just after it ended.
I think GRRM's issue is he went from being a working writer. A guy that had a lot of stuff published but never really sold much and was only really known in the writing community as a competent writer and editor. Then he got propelled into worldwide success and fame very late in life and he is terrified of losing that.
