Fantasy is main stream these days.

Exactly. I don't think you can be mainstream and snobby.

Reading Thomas Mann is snobby. Reading George R.R. Martin is #basic.

Bacon gets it.

It's true - I do get it.

You don't think in an era of widespread consumption of fantasy people can't be condescending or patronizing about their consumption of fantasy? I'd say that someone who refuses to watch a TV adaptation of the books they read, and who shares the reason why with the public is doing just that.

People who use apple products can't be snobby about apple products?

You've never heard - "well in the books tyrian fucks the prostitute BEFORE going to get his hair cut, not the other way around. The books are soo much better."?

Sure, sure. I'll allow it.

The wife just goes "yeah that wasn't in the books". All the time. She doesn't seem judgmental about it, but she points it out every time.

Also maybe there were dinosaurs in medieval times that got mistaken for dragons

Clearly waking up now and seeing that my non-reading of books lifestyle is for the best! :

[MrMonkey]

Thank you kindly gents!

I'm impressed by people who can follow GoT without having read the books. I get confused easily by the vastness of the GoT universe.

Me - Who's this guy again?
Wifey - Are you serious? Stannis Baratheon.
Me - Do we like him?
Wifey - Meh. He's a complex character.
Me - I like it when the midget gets angry.

[Archie]

I like when the Midget gets angry and the Giant gets nekkid

 

[Mudcat]

In the last episode, Stannis Baratheon took big and decisive steps in the direction of ---> we hate him.
