Playboy nu helemaal WOKE: ‘Mensen die Game of Thrones afkraken zijn pestkoppen’.

Are we so elitist as a society that we think just because an episode of TV does not play out the way that we would have written it, it is a bad episode of TV? And are we so fickle as a society that we think if the episode isn’t to our liking, it’s OK to throw around terms like “sexist” and “disgusting”? The penultimate episode of Game of Thrones was incredibly divisive. Half of the people seemed to love it, the other half hated it and absolutely nobody saw it coming. Whichever side you are on, however, there is a respectful way to be there—and then there is the garbage we’re seeing on Twitter.
Let me be clear: It is OK to dislike any episode of television, but to dislike it and to feel personally wronged by it are two different things. Disliking something means it simply didn’t work for you. Feeling wronged implies you are being personally attacked. There are three people who get to feel wronged right now, and those people are executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, and author George R.R. Martin. By the way, guess what—the people they have been wronged by are us, the “fans.” Sidetracking for a moment, we need to create a new word for “fans” who act like bullies. They are not fans because all they do is spread negativity, but they are not trolls because they actually view the content. But I digress.
