Why does /lit/ hate George R. R. Martin?

>>8320658
Because he is popular at the moment.

Because he shit talks Tolkien constantly, while being a worse writer and world builder (and far and away more unrealistic with interactions, despite his claims)

Plus he's a fat annoying piece of shit

Because he's not a good writer.

Because his books are worthless fun for the moment garbage. LOTR taught me to love nature, love medieval history, importance of friendship etc etc . I literally got nothing out of Game of thrones other than lol incest .

Did you only watch the show, or are you just dense?

Explain.

This. /lit/ liked him before the show started. asoiaf was pretty heavily recommended in the past as well.

>>8321825
He was popular then too. You people are excited over nothing. Wallowing in pig shit you fuckers.

>>8321481
Even if you just read the books its very clear that Tolkien is more wholesome.

I'm sure GRRM is a nice guy, but Tolkien had it together.

>>8321831
What?

I feel as though he, as well as all pacifists, have a childish understanding of how the world works. He also has characters that seem to be stripped right from anime, such as Darkstar, Euron Greyjoy and Jon Snow, prevelant in his book.

It seems to me he worships the ground Tolkien walked on

>>8321388
>Because he shit talks Tolkien constantly,

He doesn't. You clearly don't know him nor have you actually read ASOIAF. Quit spreading this meme.

I jacked off to the lesbean scenes with Cersei and Daneryes when I was 15

Not the guy himself, but there's an annoying as fuck fanbase who think he's the first author to ever kill off a major character.
