Whose head has gotten bigger: J.K. Rowling or George R.R. Martin

I stopped caring about AoFaI after waiting four or five years of waiting for the WoW. I still look forward to reading it but I've found a new favorite author in Joe Ambercrombie and his First Law universe. The books are a bit shorter with less pointless filler, and they do a good job of making a gritty story without being grimdark and killing characters just to kill characters.

I feel like the TV series (as bad as it is) finishing before the books deflated a lot of ASoFI hype.

CG Visuals > Words for the normies, and I would garner that a good number of those still waiting are just sorta there to see how Martin's ending differs from the TV ending and the fates of their favorite minor characters that didn't make it into the TV series.

Also interesting seeing how over the last few years since the start of this thread JK Rowling has become a sort of persona non-grata among the wokier segments of the literary and Pottertard communities due to her stances on female identity.

One will never write another book, and one won't put the pen down and stop adding stupid crap to thiers.
 
I don't know much about either except Rowling stands up against trannies so she's alright in my book.

I'm surprised Harry Potter still hasn't been cancelled to oblivion yet. Then again, what other book will people on twitter use?

It's not for lack of trying, but it's un-cancellable. It's has been the cultural phenomenon of the decade. There's more of those books in circulation than there is Bibles. Kids, teens, adults, it worked on every demographic, almost every country...

It's fun because nothing else she did worked nearly as well, Cursed Child, Fantastic Beasts, her other books, everything else sounds kinda retarded and didn't create the same religious fervor (wouldn't know, haven't checked it out)

It's why she dared to open her mouth. She is golden, she will be rich forever, she can afford to burn bridges.

Because these people are damn hypocrites. With one hand they hate capitalism and with the other, they love capitalist products. No matter how much they hate JKR, they'll never boycott HP because it's like their Bible.

I do think that you are both correct, but I also like to think that it's also partly because Rowling's, admittedly rather limp-wristed, condemnation of troonery is more in line with the majority's actual beliefs than the troons cancelling her.

Troons have an outsized amount of control over the public square at present, so I don't think the cancelling is quite as committed as it would be otherwise.
