Yeah I totally get harking on the tv show because the writing is often sub par and it misses the note on a few things that help provide context to the books. I just find it odd that for where I hang out in fandom, discussion of the book issues almost seem nonexistent. I'm sure discussion has happened but it just seems to pale in comparison to how much is directed at the show.

OP's secret just kind of made me think about it.

Now that you mention it, it is a bit weird that the times where I have seen discussion of the books (and I talk now exclusively about the problematic aspects), it does seem always in relation to the show. Like, there's a point to be made that the books contain a lot of unnecessary violence and creepiness, but the show handled some of the more importance instances so clumsily (and added a bit more of the ~good old sex and violence~) that, even if all characters involved were aged up, it seems to gather even more negative attention and, added to the whole writing mess, makes the books look a lot better in comparison.
