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.
There is a correlation between (1) the degree of inconsequential fantasy piled on in 1 hour TV show and (2) basic human need for a story to carry and reflect convincingly elementary moral laws embedded deep in human psyche.
The disappointment in that regard is so powerful it will reward retards with autistic feeling for years.
The only reason game of thrones is popular is because 95% of the fanbase stuck around for naked emilia clark. Even though shes a 6/10 because she has uneven boobs and is blonde.
