Suck my truth, GoT fans.
I thought fans were supposed to be fans of things they loved and cared about. But apparently, there’s a weird new trend of fans quickly disavowing their favorite franchises.
Star Wars, Doctor Who, and now Game of Thrones — for whatever reason, it’s totally in to just shit on your favorite series.
“Hmph! My favorite TV show didn’t cater to my exact emotional needs! Looks like I’m cutting you out of my will! Their creators will get NONE of my meager inheritance when I die of the sadness they stirred in me!”
And if you think I’m making this up just so I can write an article that will get plenty of clicks (which is kinda mostly entirely true), then read on for my scientific proof about how fans of Game of Thrones are Game of Thrones’ biggest haters.
Fans have devoted nearly a decade to watching the show — and trashed it the entire time
I’ve heard this line from a bajillion fans: “The first few season were terrible, but it finally started getting good in season seven.”
I don’t know why so many people would be so willing to stick with a show for over half a decade when all they want to do is fire the whole thing…
