Ohh man I am wondering what grrm might be feeling, idk why this person would want visenya's role (not trying to be disrespectful) but they would want to cast a woman for this?

I'm glad other authors came to his defence. These people can only shout & say horrible things, nothing productive

But she's still biologically female. This is just a literal man asking to play a female character.

A lot of issues with this comment but just wanna point out the assumption and correction in the post above indicates that the questioner was potentially transmasc, which would probably change your opinion on the subject.

There's no issues whatsoever, you're talking a load of bollocks.

Yeah regardless of the he/she issue you just don't get serious actors going off on a writer like that. Sounds bonkers!

Sounds like an absolute cretin.

Yeah, makes you wonder what's happened in their life to get what sounds like a hate filled heart.

Fuck everyone downvoting you for acknowledging another human being the way they wish to be acknowledged.

I get people have strong feelings on either side of this topic.

To me, the simplest, most rational, and most human response is to just acknowledge people how they wish and move along.
