(Spoilers Extended) "As you know, I don't outline my novels. I find that if I know exactly where a book is going, I lose all interest in writing it."

So let me get this straight, a yes or no will do at the end if this is ~the general idea, this subreddit's position is that the widespread "discussion" on virtually every post that reaches slight popularity where users constantly say someone is dying or about to die, not even as matter of fact, just as some level of complaint that they may not get to read a fucking book because of it (apparently not getting a book is the sad part in someone dying, the now dominant and unique to this sub opinion) is perfectly fine as a topic (You can't possibly not see it, it's always highly upvoted). But accurately labeling behavior that's even explained in detail to be childish as "childish," behavior literally claiming entitlement or being owed something as "entitlement," or behavior that is actually relishing in some sick hatred about someone dieing over slow book releases as any of the various words for describing that is a problem.

Okay question, is this (or the general idea) the official position of the mod team? Because I'd like to know if need to find a less disgusting place to talk about this series, hopefully that doesn't pick and choose what kind of uncivil comments are allowed and what are not.

The way to maintain quality and a good environment is surprisingly not to foster lots of talk of someone's death and childish rage over entitlement to their written works, ban the use of the words needed to literally describe any of it as anyone would! This sub is exactly the group of people who say all this that George outright says bothers him, congrats on that, I guess.

Additionally, if you want me to be able to talk about this issue at all how would you like me to go about it when the definiton of what you consider insults is generally the thing I will need to describe/label? Should I be messaging the mods for permission and giving definitions for every "insult" used to prove it's actually the word describing what I'm talking about? I can even do it for the comments you deleted if you'd like. Or is the standard here basically that I can only describe what blue paint looks like so long as I don't call it blue? Behavior with the specific lack of nuance or empathy that's exactly fitting how actual children actually think is supposed to be decribe how if I can't say it's "childish?"
