Hmm I reckon GRRM's politics are not all that great (or consistent) but ASOIAF *already* was brought to a conclusion by less talented hacks

What annoys me the most about this collider article is how much "fandom journalism" is like a lot of sport journalism in that's it's just people stirring the pot

A lot of rugby league journalism is like that too but it benefits from the fact that rugby league is inherently entertaining in that way

GRRM’s politics are far more progressive than you might think. He holds workshops for marginalized and indigenous writers and despite some outdated white man nonsense, wrote some pretty radical ideas into his books. As a postcolonial lit scholar, I was surprised. I don’t cape for white men lightly.
