The ‘Game Of Thrones’ Angry Fan Petition Is Getting Roasted On Twitter

The ‘Game Of Thrones’ Angry Fan Petition Is Getting Roasted On Twitter

There’s only one episode left before Game of Thrones comes to an end (assuming you aren’t counting the many, many “successor shows”). To quote fellow Uproxx writer Josh Kurp, “All shows must die.” Nonetheless, some folks aren’t happy about this poorly reviewed final season, whether because of an absent character, faster-paced character shifts, a change in writing style, or just unwillingness to see it end. Some of those folks — way too many of these folks — have been signing a petition demanding HBO remake the eighth season with different writers. Hoo boy.

The petition is up to over 750,000 signatures as of this writing, and this is the dumbest sentence I’ve typed in quite awhile. Over on Twitter, the consensus about the petition seems to be: “Why the hell is anyone signing this”

Not The Last Jedi.

Not Captain Marvel.

Not Game of Thrones.

Either like it or don't and move on with your life. It's all just pretend for cripes sake!! pic.twitter.com/eWD14gZYHK

Some people thought of better things to start petitions about:

please sign my petition to have Sega redo the ending of Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz. We demand Sega hire new writers who actually understand the character arcs these monkeys have gone on over the course of these beloved games and give them the ending they deserve.

Via Twitter

Someone even started a petition to “stop signing petitions forcing TV shows and movies to meet your demands” because it’s “time to take a stand against those taking a stand against witnessing narratives unfold in ways we didn’t expect and pledge to never sign a petition demanding those fat cats in Hollywood adhere to our stupid, stupid ideas.”

Some pointed out that there are other ways to give a show a different storyline without haranging anyone else:

Write some god damned fanfiction if you feel this strongly! Your petition is MORE embarrassing than writing some indulgent fanfiction, believe me!

While others pointed out how HBO could better spend their money:

And plenty of people just wanted to reach through their screens and slap a few petition signers:

don't tell anyone but I made this petition so I could gather and sell marketing information to adult diaper companies https://t.co/zX6RnIP9mh

This is extremely simple: if you create a fan petition to have someone else's art stricken from the record and replaced with your preferred version of said art, you are an entitled chode. You are also an entitled chode if you sign such a petition.

So everyone who signed the GoT petition has the I Want To Talk to the Manager haircut, right

But some people managed to keep things in perspective:

I've loved this last season of GoT, including Dani going bugshit all over King's Landing. There's been a lot of negativity about the windup, but I think it's just because people don't want ANY ending. But you know what they say: All good things…

“Whatever, just make the last episode about Tormund and the dog.”
