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 of the HBO series is rolling out every weekend. And while perhaps the fandom that dominates 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 popular 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 TV series fans find it more or less irritating. That's why sooner or later they expressed their feelings on Twitter, banding together with their funny roasts to say what they really think.
Scroll down below to see what they had to say and the best roasts they've delivered, and don't forget to tell us what you think whether you are a Game of Thrones fan or not.

Liking popular things doesn't make you an interesting person.

I don't get this one. Whenever someone asks if I watch GOT, I say no. They then get defensive and I really don't understand why. I do not care what tv shows give you pleasure. I am just happy you are happy. Weird.

Ummm, yes but - it's all in the way you phrase your statement about not knowing or watching said topic.

Watching an expensive porn with CGI on the other hand makes you so interesting... nope!

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.'

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

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.

Exactly. I watched one season but had read the books and got bored (always knowing what was going to happen). I do not tell people I don't/didn't watch it unless they ask - ( or there is a ridiculous BP post). The reaction is always over the top!! So weird.

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 ...

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.

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]

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?

I don't get it. So, when people around me talk a lot about something and suddenly they all turn to stare at me - it's clearly expected I have to say something.

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.

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.
