Jacob Potila was actually a Jacob Flotilla of lies.- WarTurkey
Game of Thrones is cancer

That's cool, but this is about A Song of Ice and Fire. Not the show.

No, the franchise as a whole.

No...There's almost no sex in the books whatsoever, and none of it is grisly.
"She was sopping wet when he entered her. β€œDamn you,” she said. β€œDamn you damn you damn you.” He sucked her nipples till she cried out half in pain and half in pleasure.
Her cunt became the world."

She forgot Moat Cailin and Ramsay Bolton and his little piece of skin, forgot the kingsmoot, forgot her failure, forgot her exile and her enemies and her husband. Only his hands mattered, only his mouth, only his arms around her, his cock inside her. He fucked her till she screamed, and then again until she wept, before he finally spent his seed inside her womb.

spent his seed inside her womb.
That sounds like something that would be in a generic hentai or a sex comic.

That would imply that I'm trolling. Sorry that there's people out there who actually have taste in the world.

Shoving your shitty opinions down people's throats for the sole purpose of starting an argument would be considered bait.

Shoving your shitty opinions down people's throats
This term is so cringe-inducingly over-used.

Why is it considered throat-shoving when I express a negative opinion of a show you like, but it's not considered throat-shoving when you express a positive opinion of a show I don't like? Cool double standards, bro.

What the fuck is "shoving opinions down people's throats" anyway? What the fuck does that even mean?

Expressing an opinion you don't want to hear?
I don't want to hear people say that Game of Thrones is good.

Does that mean you're shoving your opinions down my throat? Am I allowed to bitch at you over that?

You posted in this thread four times before anyone responded to you. It's not like you bring some interesting perspective regarding the series you've never read. You could have just made one post like you usually do saying how Game of Thrones sucks but it's painfully obvious you just wanted to cause conflict. And then you constantly call other things "cringy".

Right, because there's something just so wrong with taking the fans of a shitty series to task when they express enthusiasm over a book series that contains lines like the ones posted above. It's really just so wrong to question why someone would be insane enough to like this series.

But okay, go ahead. Continue circlejerking over the deranged scribblings of a scat fetishist.

How dare someone portray characters in "realistic" (i.e. dysentery, et al) situations in one page out of thousands.

That must mean the books are bad and the author has a scat/sex fetish.



That being said, yes his sexual scenes are poor (I believe he admitted he can't write them well), but he doesn't include sex or any of that stuff for the shots and giggles, only if it's useful in his plots.  Trion has sex with Shae because he feels empty, and she fills that hole in his heart, though she is a whore and obviously pleases him just for status and Lannister gold.

His later alleged (by fans) rape of an Essosi prostitute is just another way to show his downward spiral during his period of absolute loss, self-loathing and his disconnect from the world.

I can see Jon's parentage being revealed this season, kinda sucks that we have to see it in the show first but eh.

"Every stool was looser than the one before, and smelled fouler. By the time the moon came up she was shitting brown water. The more she drank the more she shat but the more she shat, the thirstier she grew".
I actually just read this today, and that line is kinda important in depicting the deterioration of Daenerys in the Dothraki Sea, showing how she was essentially wasting away to nothing.
i'm afraid if i roll my eyes back any further, they'll pop out
That wouldn't be a bad thing.
Hey now, I have to fight this man in Smash bros.

Because there really isnt.  Almost 5000 pages, and maybe 1% of them are dedicated to sex scenes.

The GoT show just uses it more often because it isn't held back by George's plot limitations, and is mainly used just because it can.

There are better and more sophisticated ways of expressing all of these things. And if he's admitted that he can't write sex scenes for shit, why the FUCK does he try so hard?

It's actually for the ratings, but you know--admitting that would require honesty.

My theory is that, for show purposes, he might be more of a Stark, where in the book he'll be more Targaryen.

Eh, if a reveal that's already been widely accepted among the fanbase is the worse thing to be spoiled this season, I'll be fine. What's really going to piss me off is when it starts to spoil who survives and who doesn't in a shitty, simplified way.

Possibly. I'm currently not expecting him to die in the Battle of Winterfell but I can't imagine he'll have a key role in the last book. I kind of think the characters they decided to kill off in season 5 were characters that they didn't know where to go with for the show. I mean they cut Aegon and he is obviously going to have a huge role in TWOW so it's hard to say what level of accuracy the show can be held to at this point. I'm more so talking about the A-list characters like Jaime or Arya. If one of them dies, then they surely die in the books.

Where did I say it was icky? I made a comment about the "spent his seed inside her womb" part being something that would be in a hentai or a sex comic. That is a poorly writing line.

There wasn't much discussion to begin with. The thread is about a book being late so you're not going to have much to talk about. Also the thread really isn't derailed when we're talking about the books in a thread that's about one of the books.

No, you see, it's derailed because I'm expressing a negative opinion. Only positive opinions are allowed in GoT threads, because GoT fanboys cannot handle criticism or any level of scrutiny.
