If you like martin the first time you listened, when did you start hating his character? Did the fandom mischaracterization have an impact? I personally like Martin, but I’m curious about your interpretation of his character. I’ve scrolled through some of your blog and you frequently respond to asks, but I haven’t seen what your own analysis of his character.

honestly no the fandom wasn’t really my biggest gripe with him or any kinda tipping point or whatever. i just sorta found a couple anti martin posts (at the time there were like 5 but there were still some bangers 🔥🔥) and i was like wait a sec like this makes sense…. mainly tho i think i just didn’t like him after growing up from being the kinda person who kins him because like he just reminded me of myself at like my lowest and most annoying. but anyway yes so grateful to the martin haters who came before me and im glad i could further the idea a little 🐗🐗

and then like i relistened to (one of?) the episode (s?) where he hits john and like it felt like i had some like legitimate reason and evidence towards him being a character that i dislike, but ill be the first to admit i was already biased against him at that point
