If you have a problem with unfinished works, don't ingest them until they're finished. The artist doesn't owe you anything.

I didn't say anything remotely close to saying artists owed me anything. Dude bit off more than he can chew.

I have a right to be frustrated when I'm invested in a story and it just stops.

Similarly he had a right to not finish the book- what you don't have is a right to tell other people what to do.

If you can't finish it, then don't fucking start it.

This is neither a simple expression of frustration nor is it a criticism.

It is a command.

Hence why you're being called entitled.

You need to let it go, or get over whatever this weird outrage this is that you are having.

I can feel however I want, you don't get to gatekeep that.

I didn't tell George RR Martin to do anything. I said a line on a social media forum.

You are choosing to take my words in the way you are describing and not in the way I intended. That is a form of manipulation and gas lighting. Especially after I clarified.

Who called me entitled? I guess I missed that. That's a weird take, whoever said it.

You don't have a right to command me, either. Lol.

"You need..."

Is not a command...

You keep placing false intent and meaning. That is a form of manipulation and gas lighting.

If it's not a command, what is it? A warning? Why do I need to let "it" go? Get over what weird outrage? Why do I need to do any of these things? Why are you telling me I need to do this? It is a command, stop trying to gaslight me into thinking I'm gaslighting you.

You are the one who is outraged. People told you that your reason for being angry is because you had an unfair expectation. You are welcome to try and manipulate the realities of the situation as you like, but that is what happened.

You keep placing false intent and meaning. That is a form of manipulation and gas lighting.

Incredibly weird and hilariously ironic.

Be sure to tell your grandkids it has real potential and they should check it out once the series is complete.
