I am frankly baffled by the amount of people in this fandom who haven’t heard of Lindaaaaa, Christian name Linda Antonsson. Shocked that people don’t know that one of the foremost ASOIAF fans and influencers of the author of the series is totally vile.
For example, are you put-off or offended by me using “cunt” in the title? Well, if you’re reading this it probably applies to you, as Lindaaaaa thinks that fans who condone fan fiction are pedophiles who fap to their neighbors’ children. I am not fucking kidding.
This is not an exhaustive profile about Lindaaaa; I hope to provide you with enough information about her so that you are aware of her role in fandom, her influence over GRRM and her shenanigans here. She is a Big Name Fan behaving very, very badly.This post is long, but I am here to educate.
Back when Country Western was great, long, long before jingoistic no-talent morons got a hold of it and turned the entire genre to crap. Country used to be gritty… the Dixie Chicks were the last of the classic, true to roots singers.
Quick trivia: Famed childrens book writer Shel Silverstein wrote this.
She’s the queen of the Silver Dollar, and she rules this smokey kingdom And her sceptre is a wine glass and a bar-stool is her throne And the jesters, they flock around her, and they fight to win her favours And see which one will take the queen of the Silver Dollar home
She arrives in all her splendour every night at nine o’clock And her chariot is a cross-town bus that stops right down the block The ol’ piano minstrel plays a song as she walks in And the queen of the Silver Dollar, she’s home again
She’s the queen of the Silver Dollar, and she rules this smokey kingdom And her sceptre is a wine glass and a bar-stool is her throne And the jesters flock around her, and fight to win her favours And see which one will take the queen of the Silver Dollar home
Her royal gown is a satin dress, that’s stained and slightly torn And her sparkling jewels are rhinestones, and her shoes are scuffed and worn From the many roads she’s travelled and the wonderous sights she’s seen And I watch her and I pray God save the queen [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/queen-of-the-silver-dollar-lyrics-dr-hook.html ]

The queen of the Silver Dollar is not as haughty as she seems She was once an ordinary girl with ordinary dreams But I found her and I won her, and I brought her to this world Yes I’m the man who made a queen of a simple country girl
She’s the queen of the Silver Dollar, and she rules this smokey kingdom And her sceptre is a wine glass and a bar-stool is her throne And the jesters flock around her, and fight to win her favours And see which one will take the queen of the Silver Dollar home
Game of Thrones, an adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire? Not any more.

See? That’s pulpy fanfic on a commercial basis authorized by GRRM. Glad you’re making money of it by translating subtitles.
You are no longer in any position to criticize fandom, no matter what it does, without making an even more ridiculous hypocrite of yourself than you are by your very nature.
Welcome to reality, Linda.
It is bullshit and nothing else to be fine with adding diversity to the cast just for the sake of diversity. Writers shouldn’t write to a fucking quota and TV shows shouldn’t be made to a fucking quota when using pre-existing material. I find it just laughable, disrespectful and plain idiotic to make these sort of changes. And yes, defending those changes and complaining about others is hypocrisy.
Ever see the Shawshank Redemption? Read the novella? In the story, when Red said they called him Red because he’s Irish, he wasn’t being ironic.
I wonder how she feels about the “change” in the casting of the character to be played by the Oscar-winning Morgan Freeman. Yeah, that really ruined the movie and sabotaged the “world-building” of Stephen King.
And by the way. The “pre-existing” material of Dany in ACOK is pretty boring and unfilmable, unless you want to put people to sleep. Anyway, I’m looking forward to the great stuff we’ll get if the series survives up to the Dance years. Personally I’m hoping they don’t change a thing in Meereen. God, so much good stuff, so plot advancing. George should have gotten a Pulitzer alone just for Daario.
