hahahahahahha you make it sound like GoT fans are the worse really (which to be fair they often are). I think it comes down to "there is no one true kind of fantasy that should be held at the model to which every other kind is inferior" tsk. I love epic fantasy with lots of magic and I also love a fantasy like Kushner's Swordspoint with no magic at all. I love multi volumes of fantasy and short stories by Patricia Mc Killip. I love worldbuilding and magic system building and I also love novels in which the focus is on characterisation or atmosphere building or intrigues.
I don't like the GoT show actually. Because I spent so much time loving the books - it's one of my oldest fandom really - that the adaptation fatally comes across as Getting It Wrong so I gave it up at the end of s2. Not that the books are perfect by any means. I think they have a lot to be criticised in a lot of ways and the last two novels have been a definite worsening, heh.
