I don't go here and I realize I'm in the minority with this opinion, but it looks to me like GRRM is just trying to distract from the fact that he's never going to finish his f*cking story. I hardly think he's in any position to criticize someone who may have created a flawed product but at least GOT IT TO THE AUDIENCE. Also he's a misogynistic, entitled hack and I will die on that hill.

Hey actually I'm not done ranting because I cannot believe how many people I'm seeing cheering on GRRM's infantile behavior. Like even if you agree with his criticisms, which is totally valid, you should at least be able to acknowledge that he's just way out of line and needs to grow the fuck up. Either negotiate a contract that gives you full creative control, or accept there may be changes you don't like. But don't drag other creatives in front of your legions of fans.
Sorry I'm just tired of this "So right, King!" response to a grown-ass man who's acting like a Kindergartener.
