A selection of hate from the Renly photo on the official Game of Thrones Facebook page.
Apparently people 1. can’t read, and 2. feel it appropriate to use homophobic slurs
I can stomach your hate as long as you back it up, but just boiling your argument down to a horribly offensive slur makes me hate you with the fire of a thousand suns. Let’s say their sexuality WAS an HBO invention (it’s not)…how exactly does being gay suddenly “ruin” their characters? It doesn’t. That is just you being horribly homophobic.
And I threw in the one comparing him to Robert’s looks because I find it offensive to Gethin. (Not that Mark Addy isn’t perfectly fine…but let’s be real).
What pisses me off aren’t those comments, but the fact that the people running that page allowed them to stay up, rather than deleting them.

Meh, they just can’t grasp a thing called subtext, and they also can’t go and read something called ‘interviews’ in which the man himself says ‘I always intended for them to be gay’ from an interview back in 2005
