20 Fans Roasting People Who Claim They Don’t Watch Game Of Thrones
29Kviews
This time is the time of Game of Thrones, as hundreds of tweets, memes and excited fans' reactions show. One simply cannot deny the global influence the Thrones phenomenon has, especially with the final season rolling out every weekend. And while perhaps the fans who dominate the social media sites after every Sunday might seem annoying to some, there is only one thing more irritating than someone being overtly passionate about something they like. It's the people who are overtly proud of something they dislike.
As hundreds of posts about Game of Thrones roll out daily in every corner of social media, more and more people boast about not watching the show in the comments. Perhaps thinking that it makes them special, those people wear that fact like a badge of honor. And while there are some who approve of their message, the Thrones fans find it more or less iritating. That's why sooner or later they expressed their feelings on Twitter, banding together to say what they really think.
Scroll down below to see what they had to say, and don't forget to tell us what you think whether you are a Game of Thrones fan or not.

Just because I do not care about something, that doesn't automatically mean I hate it.
Liking popular things doesn't make you an interesting person.
Just because I dislike something and have no care for it does not mean there is other people and things that I care about and make me interesting. To this, I could easily just say 'Just because you like something popular doesn't mean you are a popular or interesting person.'
Funny how porn veiwing sites drop during GOT. I've not any interest, either
A lot of people also tell me often that they watch GOT and that's why they are superior to others.
True, true. Quit watching GoT and you'll find time to do interesting things, to meet interesting people and to develop an interesing personality.
How does no one in this thread realize the only reason someone tells you they don't watch, is bc they don't know what you're talking about & you just assume they do
Literally, I don't watch it, but I agree with all of these so. Fricking. Much.
Most people have never watched a single episode of Game of Thrones. (Even only 14 million people out of 320 Americans watched the finale.) You can imagine how sick we are of you. I don't watch it is probably most people's polite way of saying, "For the love of God, shut the hell up about that stupid TV show!!!!"
So it is okay for people and the media to talk about it nonstop but if anyone says they don't watch it and don't care they are the problem and boring?
Here's the thing, it's FINE to not watch it, no one is going to kill you as a result, but the people who like to brag that they don't do a trendy thing get on everyone's nerves most of the time.
I've found it to be the opposite - people in my area brag that they DO watch it... and I think it's because HBO is a luxury, so they feel they have to brag.
Although you are correct, it is hypocritical for people who watch game of thrones to get mad about this because they always talk about the show in the same way people talk about not watching the show
Can't someone just say something without it being perceived as bragging?
And then there's the people who legitimately have not seen the show and are asking you to stop talking about it PLEEEASE
but who's bragging? nobody's bragging, and i don't see how it's bragging to not watch it if you're getting isolated from everybody who does. i can't watch it because i'm not old enough yet, but just because you don't watch something that isn't trendy doesn't mean you're not watching for that sole purpose
"Claim to dislike/don't do something popular" is sadly a trend to some people. That being said people that genuinly are not interest in something or disliking it shouldn't have to keep their opinions to themselves. Everyone is free of expressing it. As long as the purpose IS NOT to simply put their 2 cent in the conversation for trend sake or to annoy others.
It's like the people who think they are a cool, interesting person by saying the Harry Potter is just a stupid children's book.
Yes.

It's due to Leftism syndrome: everyone must like the same POV, ideology, views et al, otherwise you're the enemy to be doxxed, harassed, derided. Echo chamberism.
Very true, it's much like group-think

What an idiotic thing to say. There is no such thing. Eat a dick.
My co-worker asked me if i watch game of thrones and i answered no and she overreacted how could i not watch the show.
Sounds much more like reality (and that's me saig it as a former watcher)
Funny how media & internet can shit their self over a new game of thrones season but when someone says the don't watch it you get this???
Jesus, what happened to live and let live?
Yes, why do we have to be divided because of a TV series? It's not like we are better or worse if we watch or don't watch GoT.
What do you mean? This is important stuff, like vegan attitudes, hairy armpits and other life altering BP posts.
Meh. I'm not proud that I don't watch it.....I don't watch it because (a) I'm too much of a cheap ass to get HBO and (b) I'm ridiculously sensitive to rape and torture scenes -- of which I hear there are many. So, I don't watch it. Do I get tired of all the hype? Sometimes.....but mostly I enjoy looking at the memes and I kind of feel like I'm watching a PG version of it by reading them. :p
I feel like the complete opposite is true. People who watch GoT feel some type of way.
the people who watch GOT think they are so illumiunated, like they know the secret meaning of life now XD aahahahah get a grip with reality please... who in their right mind is going to take seriously a show about dragons whose mother is a hot blond chick? please give me more methaporas how got is just as accurate as the real life XD
Replace 'watch GoT' with 'eat meat' (or any other irrelevant personal stuff) and the reaction would still be the same.
I don't watch it because I could not handle the violent graphic scenes
Same
Looks like we're reaching a society where everyone's supposed to be taking sides. If you're not Pro-GoT you must be against it. And it's annoying as hell. There are things where I would die for, but there are also things that are so insignificant that it's not even worth thinking about. Watching tv-series is one of them.
I don't mind if you don't watch "Game of Thrones" ... there are a lot of popular shows that I skip out on, too ... I will simply say I don't watch them without having to preface it with "am I the only one that doesn't watch [insert popular show that others think I should be watching]" ... simply saying you don't watch is no reason for ridicule ... acting like you're a unicorn is reason enough ...
Am I the only one who doesn't watch Game of Thrones?
Lol!
What the **** is Game of Thrones?
My brother tried to get me into Game of Thrones, but I'm not into series that revolve around death. I'm almost painfully empathetic, and they make me feel horrible. I tried reading the first book. Couldn't get past the first few chapters... The wife of some dude being all; OH GOD, I HOPE HIS SEED TAKES HOLD IN ME was... uh, wtf. But the completely unnecessary detail about how they anointed the genitals of a 13-year old CHILD as she was about to be married off, and how her brother wanted to sleep with her... GROSS. That right there told me everything I needed to know about the author to stay well away from that series. On top of all the death. And rape and torture scenes. But, hey, those who enjoy it, knock yourselves out, find joy in it. To each their own. Just maybe understand where I'm coming from when I say I don't like it and kinda wish the hype would die down a bit?
got is just a modern soap opera, nothing more XD people are free to dislike soap operas...
I haven't seen the show, but I will hazard to guess that the lighting and acting are somewhat better than a soap opera.
you can mask it as well as you want, but it doesn't change the fact that in essence it is a soap opera, albeit with violence, nudity and other shit to hide the soap opera vibe ...
Why is this trending .-. It's been a year. It has 12 likes. .-.
The ironic thing is that many of the nonwatchers’ responses to these so-called “roasts” are better than the “roasts”. Just goes to show how how unaware GOT fans are to their own inability to STFU about GOT while being exquisitely sensitive to any comments made by people who are tired of hearing about this show nonstop. “OMG, what did you think about Game of Thrones last night?!?!?!” “I don’t watch it.” “WHAT?!?!? HOW CAN YOU NOT WATCH GAME OF THRONES?!?!? IT’S THE BEST SHOW EVARRRRR!!!!!” [proceeds to frantically try to recap the entire series to uninterested person]
No one cares if you watch it, no one cares if there's new episodes, no one cares about GOT but stop nagging me about it!
These are so fuckin stupid 😆
I had a co-worker ask why I don;t watch GoT b/c it's great, this, that and every other thing and I simply said I do not have HBO........... IMO, someone watches GoT, cool, knock yourself out, otherwise, it's also not my thing - saying that, I hope I'll be allowed the live out the rest of the day..........
*Me NOt WAtChING gaMe oF tHRoNeS*
It's like Love Island. I spend my whole time trying to avoid the inevitable conversations of who shagged who, what happened next, etc. It's EVERYWHERE and you know what? It gets tedious. And I find myself shut out of conversations and treated like a pariah for not watching it, with comments like "How can you NOT watch it?" and "What is WRONG with you?" These people even did a group chat at work so they could harp on about it. And not content with that, they have the gall to call out those who don't watch it as attention-seekers. No, we're just bored of the hysteria around it and are trying to change the subject.
I think that the "don't watch GoT" crowd got the last laugh after that shitty last season
I yell more about not having cable than not watching Contest of Big Fancy Ornate Chairs...
I definatly would watch game of thrones but It confused me last time
Who's idea of "roasting" is this?
Clearly there is no more substantive matters to discuss about so people started to fuss about this. Anyway, what happens here is quite the opposite. Some people make a conversation that contains targayen, khal drogo, jon snow etc. to make them look cool and up to date. Of course I have to google it to know what they were talked about lol. But then I watched a program called "GoT: stories so far", still not interested to watch the series though. It is full of disturbing scene presented by mentally ill characters. But I don't announce myself as a non-watcher because I don't see the importance. Like many of fans said here: nobody cares.
I'm watching the show, but these ads are still f@cking annoying.
These are great! I'm still unable to watch it yet, so I have to avoid spoilers.
People are allowed to have different interests. If someone watches GoT and you don't, there's no reason to tell them unless they ask. However, criticizing someone for voicing their opinion isn't wise either; Don't critizice people for telling you they're not interested or haven't tried something you like. People should be able to voice their opinion without feeling like they are stepping on eggshells.
I like to play video games, read books, or go out and things with friends/family, and watch TV/Movies. As a result I only have a couple hours a week free to watch TV... and with an endless number of interesting shows out there, it is impossible to watch all of them, or even a fraction of them. GOT isn't on the list. Not because I have a problem with it. I don't think I'm special for not seeing it... it likely on the "top 5% of shows that would interest me"... but considering there are so many shows available now, the top 5% is still dozens upon dozens of titles. But, in appreciation of this actual thread, I have never actually made a point of telling anyone that I don't watch the show (until now with this post)
I have never seen this show in my life.
Heres how most of my GOT conversations went. GOT fan: "Did you catch last nights GOT" Me: No I dont watch GOT. GOT fan: What the hell is wrong with you? Its the best show ever. Me: ... GOT fan: Get yourself a life and go watch it. Its so good. Me: Sorry I'm too busy living my life to get a life.
I don't watch game of thrones but I'm a child so....
Ace Cole haha
Trendy is for sheep.
I've never watched it. Are there books, and are they any good?
I saw the pilot, does that still count?
Am very vague as to what Game Of Thrones it is but figured out early on it was a TV show. I am not emotionally invested in TV series...
1 person: I don't watch GOT. 50 GOT FANS: NO ONE CARES OH MY GOSH I AM GOING TO POST THIS OUTRAGE ON FACEBOOK moral of story: complaining about the people who say they don't watch got is the opposite of the solution to this problem. so please, stop.
Who....says they dont watch GoT??
John K Good response!
Well... I don't watch it because it's essentially porn...
I don't really see the point of talking about what I don't watch or read or listen to or do or whatever. Like I mean there are situations where it makes sense (e.g. if you are prone to panic attacks and sensitive to certain subjects/genres or whatever. Or if it would cause you to be left out of a c
Conversation* or something) but like mostly why not focus on finding common ground???
All these people and the fights that they have/make up in their heads
