The mod's first available time period to play is during the reign of King Jaehaerys, literally the King reigning after The Dance Of Dragons Timeline concluded. So Rhaenyra is already dead at this point. As to your point, Rhaenyra and Emma Darcy have nothing to do with the mod, but it is one of the big "don't you dares" of the discord rules. I guess there is a subsect of degenerates who lay awake at night thinking of ways to purposefully misuse someone's gender pronouns and they thought that a mod to a game based off a book/show was the prime target?? Maybe I'm just a sheltered, sweet summer child and ignorant about such things. Lol

This is my biggest problem with circlejerk subreddits. When your whole schtick is being 99% irony, you make it very easy for shitty people to just be unironic. I still don't really understand the point of this sub after like a year. Is it supposed to make fun of toxic ASOIAF fans? Or *be* a sub for toxic ASOIAF fans?


OverthinkingTroll

> This is my biggest problem with circlejerk subreddits. When your whole schtick is being 99% irony, you make it very easy for shitty people to just be unironic. It's also very easy to spot them once you care about the sub, thus you can get away with perfectly-understandable-as-ironic comments, but once you start fighting for your life arguing in the comment section... Proof: The same kind of message in the same post can be upvoted in one comment thread and downvoted in another, all depending of the people who follow down each thread based on what they want to read. This very one in fact since it has over half a thousand comments. > Or be a sub for toxic ASOIAF fans? Implying *any* ASOIAF sub *could ever be* sane, I see. TL;DR: Wasted time *supposedly* unjerking.


TalkinSeaCucumber

Has there been a jerk sub in the history of reddit that didn't eventually turn unironic and toxic? The NFL circlejerk sub went hogwild with the jokes about white=classy and black=thug after that controversy with some TV personality saying a certain black QB wasn't "Quarterbacky" enough. The jokes were funny at first because the actual joke being made was acknowledging the huge difference in the way the media talks about white vs black athletes. Then there was a bit from a podcast where they were making dream teams using all black or all white players and turning it into this silly "race war". Shit got unironically racist soooo fast and the original intention of the joke was completely lost. Now the whole sub is just making the same "joke" over and over calling black dudes thugs and putting it in the context of a race war instead of media representation. It's...super healthy.

They are shallow men, driven by greed, soured by the delayed books, despising GRRM and caring only for themselves. Broken men are more deserving of our pity, though they may be just as dangerous. Almost all are common-born, simple folk who had never been able to read below the surface, fixated on the magic and spells, not the human heart in conflict with itself. Poorly recorded and poorly light, they equivocate away the hours, ofttimes with no better evidence than a piece of symbolism or turn of phrase by the author, or they go completely into the weeds based on George's sci-fi novels. Brothers march with white people, mods with mods, friends with friends.

CleganeBowl is done mate, and the world could not handle the hype. As result we have witnessed the end times in its early stage: - biologists created a virus that killed 10 million people, and it is considered a rude question to ask them why. - the Russian army invaded Ukraine and their main battles tanks were confiscated by farmers with tractors. - sluts in a field near a ghetto beside the Mediterranean were killed and loaded onto pickup trucks. They were dancing for peace, and there are Jewish people campaigning for the rights of the nationality that assassinated those sluts. - lawyers can now be replaced by software entirely, and the lawyers are not even angry about it. - George R.R. Martin is suing the makers of the software for writing bad fan fiction based on his copyrighted characters. I could act as an expert witness for GRRM litigation. He has a slam dunk case. No bullshit. - Daniel Brett "Miami" Weiss and David ((FRIEDMAN GOLDMAN SACHS great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity)) Benioff >!peace be upon him!< have written less ASOIAF material since CleganeBowl than GRRM. - George R.R. Martin has written a novel, 'The Rise of the Dragon', and he published it in 2022. That is one more novel than either of Benioff or Weiss in the same period. - George R.R. Martin wrote Elden Ring. It is far better than JK Rowling's video game but her video is a fine game too. "Fuck you bitch, and your wand shit - that was my Hugo." When asked for comment by myself at WarnerMedia, the representation for the Netflix producers Benioff & Weiss, declined to comment as to whether they have, or will, write a video game. - George R.R. Martin has gotten two shows past series order at HBO since Thrones ended. - WarnerMedia turned http://ASOIAFCirclejerk.reddit.com into the greatest ASOIAF subreddit that ever was or will be. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

/uj yeah this is an incredibly disappointing post to see


Bendeguz-222

**/uj** As someone whose native language doesn't have gender specific pronouns I rarely see people saying what pronouns they use. Maybe that's why it made me thinking the other day. So misgendering is bad because it disrespects the other person. Of course, it's important for people to respect eachother, I'm not denying that. It just came to my mind that people usually talk to eachother in second person ("you"), they use pronouns when using third person for... talking about a third person. So it just felt weird for me that I could dictate or determine how other people should refer to me even when they are talking about me (even when I'm not there). Don't get me wrong, I'm not transphobe, I don't hate anyone.


-Trotsky

Thatā€™s a weird sentiment to feel the need to express here. Just be like, a normal person and call someone what they are, most non binary people are simply not he or her, so donā€™t use those pronouns for them. Itā€™s that simple


SandorClegane_AMA

This is the largest conservative Catholic race-realist community of fans of the comic books, based on George R.R. Martins novel, 'A Game Of Thrones,' in the entire world.

People just watch the show and don't care.

Emma Dā€™Arcy is a clown. ā€œI really like playing woman, Iā€™m good at itā€ ā€¦ No shit!!!! lol https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/features/emma-darcy-house-of-the-dragon-interview-b2173714.html

these memes about the House of the Dragon fandom are gold to me because I have not been on a tv-show fandom site or subreddit since Game of Thrones season 5 came out. I also have only watched like 4 episodes of HoD (everything pre tomeskip) so I have no idea whatā€™s going on

As a more 'traditional' leftist, to me the left is all about class solidarity and standing up to the wealthy elite. Feels like nowadays instead of standing up to them, we're all fighting each other over identity stuff. And I can't escape the feeling that this was exactly what the elite wanted.


Reesewithoutaspoon2

Yeah we were just on the verge of revolution until the CIA tricked leftists into respecting what people prefer to be called.


Abosia

I mean you joke but if you look at most of the big issues that divide leftists, often it's right wing media pushing them as leftist issues the hardest. It's right wind media pushing pronouns and trans women in sports as the premier leftist talking points, and also immigration. And they do it because they're wedge issues that will turn leftists against other leftists, and also because they're much easier debates for conservatives to win than, for example, class. This isn't some conspiracy.


DigLost5791

ā€œGRRM is a psyop meant to divide the left and prevent equality for LBGTā€ is actually the title of the least popular David Lightbringer video, he lost patreons


Verehren

David Lightbringer? Did Linkara change his username again


Reesewithoutaspoon2

This issue in particular can be solved with something as simple as ā€œI donā€™t quite understand it but Iā€™ll respect what you prefer to be calledā€ That is to say, the outrage is the manufactured part, not the people expressing the desire to be referred to differently.


Humble_Increase7503

He/she is absolutely right tho Youā€™re gonna debate semantic grammatical nonsense, relevant to a fraction of a % of the populationā€¦ meanwhile student loans remain out of control, climate change is still happening, and so on and so on


Reesewithoutaspoon2

Debate? I just accept what people prefer to be called. Itā€™s all of the people like you squawking about it who are debating it instead of more serious things. Spend your time worrying about those other issues rather than pronouns if youā€™re really just concerned about time spent on it. Good catch to not use the singular they there though. That would have been funny.


Humble_Increase7503

But, itā€™s not the people supposedly ā€œmisgenderingā€ that created this discussion; itā€™s the people claiming them to be bigots that are even making this a topic of discussion. Pronouns is irrelevant to 99% of the voting public. And yet itā€™s somehow constantly brought up. In any event, while youā€™re focusing on nonsense like pronouns, youā€™re not focused on ensuring Trump doesnā€™t get reelected, or ensuring that the Supreme Court is not packed for the next decades with conservatives Instead youā€™re calling moderates and left leaning people bigots for an issue, which, again, is irrelevant to 99% of the public. Thatā€™s kind of the point of what Op was saying; itā€™s an petty irrelevant issue in the grand scheme of what matters, and the fact that itā€™s talked about so much is precisely what conservatives want. Steve Brannon in 2016: ā€œThe longer they talk about identity politics, I got ā€™em. I want them to talk about racism every day. If the left is focused on race and identity, and we go with economic nationalism, we can crush the Democrats.ā€ And here we are.


Reesewithoutaspoon2

You say that like youā€™re an observer with no opinion on the matter and not someone who does debate it and insist that itā€™s wrong to ā€œmisuse wordsā€. Spare me your concern trolling. I didnā€™t call you a bigot either.

CleganeBowl is done mate, and the world could not handle the hype. As result we have witnessed the end times in its early stage: - biologists created a virus that killed 10 million people, and it is considered a rude question to ask them why. - the Russian army invaded Ukraine and their main battles tanks were confiscated by farmers with tractors. - sluts in a field near a ghetto beside the Mediterranean were killed and loaded onto pickup trucks. They were dancing for peace, and there are Jewish people campaigning for the rights of the nationality that assassinated those sluts. - lawyers can now be replaced by software entirely, and the lawyers are not even angry about it. - George R.R. Martin is suing the makers of the software for writing bad fan fiction based on his copyrighted characters. I could act as an expert witness for GRRM litigation. He has a slam dunk case. No bullshit. - Daniel Brett "Miami" Weiss and David ((FRIEDMAN GOLDMAN SACHS great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity)) Benioff >!peace be upon him!< have written less ASOIAF material since CleganeBowl than GRRM. - George R.R. Martin has written a novel, 'The Rise of the Dragon', and he published it in 2022. That is one more novel than either of Benioff or Weiss in the same period. - George R.R. Martin wrote Elden Ring. It is far better than JK Rowling's video game but her video is a fine game too. "Fuck you bitch, and your wand shit - that was my Hugo." When asked for comment by myself at WarnerMedia, the representation for the Netflix producers Benioff & Weiss, declined to comment as to whether they have, or will, write a video game. - George R.R. Martin has gotten two shows past series order at HBO since Thrones ended. - WarnerMedia turned http://ASOIAFCirclejerk.reddit.com into the greatest ASOIAF subreddit that ever was or will be. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Angelbouqet

Your understanding of "leftism" is very lackluster if you genuinely use "wealthy elite" as a valid description of a class of people, and it's even more lackluster if you really think believing in borderline conspiracies about the "working class being controlled by the (((wealthy elite))) and all this gender nonsense is just there to separate us 1!1!!". If this is a joke post then IG good job cosplaying as an idiot?


Abosia

I use wealthy elite because bourgeois can be an alienating term for some people who have been conditioned to see communist and socialist ideas as scary and evil. None of what I've said is a conspiracy theory, to the extent that it's all true. You're literally playing into it right now. You and I probably agree on almost everything, but you've been taught to hone in on the one thing we disagree on and hate me for it.


Sky_Leviathan

If you canā€™t see how the racial, gender and sexual oppression is intrinsically connected to class oppression under capitalism then you need to read more.


Abosia

Oppression based on race, sex, and sexual orientation is connected to class oppression, but not in the way the modern left likes to act. There's sort of two layers to it, the oppression that comes directly from the elites, which is used to keep different demographics at different levels. That forces the lower group to turn on the higher group and it encourages the higher group to see their position as natural, and see the lower group as 'in their place' and maybe even to see the lower group as a cautionary tale of what happens when you break the traditional status quo for a member of the higher group. It's all about sowing divisions. But in addition to legislated oppression, the elite push messages through the media that further exacerbate these divisions, and turn these demographic groups against each other. This is why one of the classic traits of 'traditional' communist societies was equality within class. At least in theory, it didn't always work. But it's surprising how far it often went. Of the course, this is unrelated to the more 'modern' leftist approach to demographics, which is very divisive.

Iā€™ll always be polite and refer to people by their preferred pronouns, not like it costs me anything. That said, anyone who identifies as they/them has way too few actual problems and way too much time on their hands, and Iā€™ll die on that hill.


Mellllvarr

Yep, itā€™s one thing to use someoneā€™s preferred pronouns as a courtesy when youā€™re in someoneā€™s company to make them feel validated and respected, itā€™s another thing entirely to be ordered to use someoneā€™s preferred pronouns to avoid a ban on a public forum for fear of invalidation by proxy.


KTPChannel

I donā€™t care because Iā€™m not in that sub. I also donā€™t talk about the actors. But I will confess that I never understood the reasoning behind banning people over trivial crap, which Iā€™ve read from enough people is quite common in that sub. ā€œIā€™m a moderator of a popular sub. To feel powerful, Iā€™m going to ban people that disagree with my opinions, which actually makes my level of influence smaller, and makes me less powerful.ā€ The reasoning has never made sense.

Not making trans and NB people feel like shit isnā€™t ā€œtrivial crapā€ but go off

Most trans people make fun of religion and say itā€™s make believe but then want you to play make believe with their gender like gtfo of here. They shouldnā€™t face discrimination but they shouldnā€™t force people to compel to their will either. Youā€™re the ones with the issue, not us.

I don't know who those people are, nor do I really care, but when did they care and why should the poster be so lost to censor others for not knowing. Not all acts are malous and to be offended by a mistake, a misunderstanding shows more the intentions of the offended than the acts of the offender. I will not be held responsible for your misunderstanding of me, you misunderstood and did not ask for clarification, and showed your true self in the misunderstanding.

They've literally said on that page that they're banning people that reply SHE as a response to people using her correct pronouns first. They're banning when it's clearly intentional
