Context:

Game of Thrones is a popular HBO television series, adapted from the ASOIAF series of novels by George R. R. Martin.

David Benioff is one of the show runners - that is the bosses of the writing team. Show runners are more important in TV than the directors. 'Dan & Dave' or 'D&D' are common ways to refer to the showrunners of Game of Thrones.

Fan: a person who has a strong interest in or admiration for a particular person or thing. Fans of the show like to bitch about plot changes from the novels, even though they only started reading the novels because of the show. Fans of the books like to bitch about books four and five being boring and book six being late.

TheDragonDemands is a Youtube megastar investigative reporter who is committed to documenting the scandalous fact that Game of Thrones producers conspire to put great acting performances on the screen. Here is a profile of him, where we sincerely strove to be as fair to him as he is to David Benioff. He hates Dave. Those of us fascinated by this little Tasmanian devil of drama, refer to him as TDD. Everyone knows who TDD is.

^{Spoiler warning: TDDs twitter account account is full of spoilers for his upcoming David Benioff biography miniseries. He is dishing out whack-a-doodle conclusions and insinuations from the video. Do not read his twitter if you want to go into the video fresh when it gets released later this month.}

Wiki: a website or database developed collaboratively by a community of users, allowing any user to add and edit content. Wiki editors are notorious sources of toxic drama. What could be more seductive than the heady mixture of the power and the pursuit of absolute truth?

The Game of Thrones Wikia page is second most authoritative source for Game of Thrones info. It is the domain of lord paramount TheDragonDemands, because he saw off all challengers, as we will see below.

The argument for the assertion that TDD is getting crazier lately.

You need to listen to this stuff before he gets back on his meds and deletes the video. He deleted his video about making Dave suffer.

First of all, the prize winner for most ironic statement for 2018 has already been claimed and it is only June. Timestamp 5 mins 19 seconds: "There are a lot of crazy people on the internet."

Lets see if we can find a crazy person on the internet!

He is on a 24 hour Benioff Twitter storm. Some other lunatic from the opposite extreme, a HBO apologist with the handle @DnDTeenFanclub, tried to wrangle him, but lacked the stamina to keep up. Some highlights include TDD claiming Benioff suffering appendicitis was a form of suicide attempt.

'Benioff is not a mentally stable adult. There are a LOT of "red flags"'.

You can't make this stuff up. Well he can. He did. He made stuff up.

Back to the video. More than one person said this - "Please stop pestering me with this ..." He was pestering rape survivors to join his army and campaign about Sansa and Ramsay in the show.

Now here comes the irrelevant overshare hydrogen bomb. At the 10 minute mark TheDragonDemands starts talking about brutal domestic violence during his own childhood. The topics then include victims of childhood sexual abuse, clinical depression, campaigns against domestic violence, and weirdly enough, in a deus ex machina maximus, HBO showrunner, David Benioff. Apologies for my Latin. Apparently he has discussed the domestic abuse multiple times on the Web.

Some vital context for folks who haven't kept up with the lame TheDragonDemands drama we have stooped to follow in the off-season:

• He made a video claiming that Tywin Lannister characters changes in the show were the result of Dave having daddy issues.
• David Benioff (peace be upon him) gave a speech about discovering an undiagnosed mild lisp in his thirties.
• TDD claimed this was evidence of parental neglect leading to Daves wilderness years during his early adulthood.
• This seemed silly at the time, but in the light TDDs own claims about his childhood, this is downright infuriating.

Why infuriating? TDD is trivialising the issues of parental neglect or abuse of a child with these slurs against Dave and the Friedman family. My mind cannot rightly comprehend that coming from someone so affected by domestic violence, as The Dragon Demands has revealed himself to be. Is he using it as weapon against those he wishes to indite? Is he using it as a shield when he wishes to manipulate people to pity him?

The argument against the assertion that TDD is getting crazier lately.

Anytime you Google TDD or anyone in related communities, you unravel a thread of bombastic drama. In 2014 he drove the head admin of the Thrones Wikia off. Here he brags about it on a forum for specifically for folks who were banned from Westeros.org for dissing GRRM.

If you are not familiar with IsWinterComing.com, they were mocking kneelers before you were born, my sweet summer child. It is an excellent source of stale historical popcorn. Here is a typical viewpoint of a user there:

In 1977 GRRM's penis was dubbed "The Truffle" by a council of his peers because it is very hard to find and it attracts pigs.

The guy TDD put to the sword was a popular and relatively authoritative personality among the ASOIAF fandom before the show blew up, known as 'Werthead.'

Here we see the emotional neglect that drove TDD to open warfare. Some choice quotes:

I am genuinely confused Adam.

Answer me today, Adam. Not a week from now.

Adam, I can read your public twitter account and public blog, and you made a new post 7 minutes ago: two hours ago I said "answer me today, Adam"

Three days. It's been three days, Adam.

What he aims to do to Dan & Dave he actually succeeded in doing to a sincere fan of ASOIAF and Game of Thrones. Turns out Adam was not being notified of these talk page messages, was insanely busy at work, and had a life beyond those things. Reddit ASOIAF / GoT / Freefolk drama is positively mild by comparison with the wilder web beyond our realm.

The Dragon Demands was banned from a fan convention for threatening Adam.

I'm annoyed that they picked something I said out of context to say it was "threatening".

I would not want to annoy you.

^{Answer me Adam!}

And here we witness the inception of Dragons catch phrase, 'Rhaenyra has an Army'.

^{Answer me Adam!}

Fun fact - this is true and not a joke - I messaged Adam on a different topic a few days ago and he answered me promptly. Cool guy.
