Not really when you consider how his fans are a bunch of smug rabid harpies that swoop down from the sky to screech at anyone who doesn't like ASoIaF because "ZOMG HDU YOU ARE NOT A TRUE SFF FAN IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT! ASOIAF IS BETTER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE BECAUSE ITS GRIM-N-GRITTY AND YOU'RE TOO STUPID TO TRULY APPRECIATE IT!!1!1!"

[(Anonymous)]

But does that actually do anything to the fantasy genre as a whole? I mean, are other authors actually intimidated into writing GRRM-N-GRITTY (hur hur) as well? Are other readers persuaded into drinking that Kool-Aid and no longer support other series?

[(Anonymous)]

Isn't that the way you're acting?

Mte.

Rabid fans and rabid haters are two sides of the same annoying coin.

I'm a fan. I know plenty of other fans. I follow a bunch of fans on tumblr. I have literally never encountered this attitude; I've found WAY more people who sound like you and/or spit nails and fiery brimstone at fans for daring to like such an ANTI-WOMAN CRAPFEST OF A SERIES !!!!!1111!

[(Anonymous)]

You haven't met the hardcore fans on Westeros.org...

I don't see why someone would go to a fan site for something they didn't like. As long as the rabid fans stay in their little corner, it should be fine.

IDK, I've found people on FS and tumblr to be quite understanding that I gave it try (book and tv show, both out of curiosity) and did not like it at all. I've yet to be screeched at for it.

Maybe it's the way you present yourself?

I've encountered some of the annoying fans. In a completely civil discussion once where I said that I had tried ASoIaF but found it not to my taste, somebody gave me this disgusted look and said "but you're intelligent" . And that's not the only time. So fwiw, my anecdata.

[caerbannog]

Have to say I don't see what someone's intelligence should do with it. O_O That's pretty shitty of them, I hope you gave them an equally disgusted look back.

But I'd say all fandoms have a shitty, pushy fan or two. I have similar wary feelings for Dr Who fans. They seem more prevalent.

LOL! I've encountered this type of attitude in regards to LOTR. I remember on one message board, one person was absolutely boggled that their "otherwise intelligent" friend didn't like LOTR.

"Are you telling me that the tumblir community is largely made up of women? If so, that's something I didn't know. There are, of course, many female I&F and GOT fans on Westeros, Winter Is Coming, Tower of the Hand, and the other major sites... are you saying that tumblir is made up of women "driven" from those sites?

These are not rhetorical questions. Honestly, so far as I know, the only people being expelled from Westeros of the other sites I've mentioned are ones who have engaged in trolling, spamming, or abusive behavior of one sort of another."

[caerbannog]

I think you have misfired nonnie.

Curiously I'm not a ASoIaF fan and I don't get this.
