Like, who reads ASoIaF and roots for the Ironborn?

Trump voters. 

The Oldtown Times sends a maester out to the Iron Islands every couple of years to write long think-pieces about the neglected salt voters and their despair over the decline of the reaving and raping industries.

A Song of Ice and Fire rose to popularity and fame in good part due to George R.R. Martin's disregard for the traditional good-and-evil and black-and-white dichotomy found throughout the fantasy genre. Instead he focuses on shades of grey and moral ambiguity, showing that there is sympathy and kindness as well as cruelty and hate on both sides of any given  conflict.

I'd be very very careful about saying what Martin disregards or focuses on without the ending of the books in front of me.
And it's no doubt a digression for the general section, but even at this point in the series, saying that ASOAIF "focuses on shades of grey and moral ambiguity" is quite the exaggeration.
Anyway, I think on the contrary the attitude of the community here on the forum reflects pretty well the content of the books. Most people here are willing to discuss and debate politics and socio-economics, and to try to understand the perspective of the "other" side.
But at the end of the day, when certain lines have been crossed, there's no redeeming some people.

Are you aware of how childish you come off when you say stuff like that?

With the amount of contempt  with which with my thread and its subject matter is being treated. How do you expect me to react? I started  what I had hoped to be a good and interesting thread topic  and now its' being  made into   joke.  It's disappointing  Kraken.:(

Just responding to a fellow poster. 

Have you ever tried reading "How to Start an Interesting Topic That Isn't Just a Cover for Mediocre-Brained Both-Siderism" by Fail Barnegie? You might find it beneficial.

I'mma tell you the same thing I told your mother.

"Get the fuck out of my trashcans"

There are some  on the left  think the Left can do no wrong and the right can do nothing right .  This would seem to demonstrates  unwillingness to be self critical.
