I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the sub for a joke wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this sub is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.
You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love the show and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this sub is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find this sub closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.
What? Game of Thrones was made for this sub! It's a made up world full of gratuitous violence and sex, pointless political infighting, incestuous romance and a snarky drunk dwarf.
There are definitely numerous point on which I can agree with /tv/, especially the shitshow that was season 5 of the show. However, I fault them for being too autistic to realize that a deep dive into the politics of a War of the Roses fanfic is too dry for television format.

GoT is normie garbage, and its honestly a black mark on this sub that we have at least two power users whos usernames are GoT references.

I'm looking forward to once again being able to troll /tv/ by shitting on the book-cels.

Don’t forget to mention r/Freefolk, they really fucking hate them, though I don’t blame them

It's going to be a rushed mess.
