Please just share it. I forgot to do the research for this article and I can’t really afford another meeting about my low engagement numbers. Does it really matter to you if I have any data to corroborate this headline? Your friends will like it based solely on the headline because “Ooooo! Game of Thrones!” and I’ll get to keep writing garbage things on the internet. Win, win. Me doing my job and surveying people has nothing to do with you tagging your friend who’s cat is named Khaleesi in the comments, just help me out.

65% may seem a little outlandish for a made up percentage, but the point I’m trying to make is that a lot of people like Game of Thrones. If I did go ahead and do the research and I found that not a lot people have pets named after Game of Thrones characters, I wouldn’t have written an article. This would be depriving you of content (one of the 7 deadly sins) and I never want to be put in that position. Instead, my laziness gives everyone what they want. People who don’t like Thrones can be like, “Wow, fandom culture is out of control” and people who do like the show can be like “Ya!” You weren’t going to fact check this article regardless, so what do you care? You don’t know everyone’s pets.

Share the article or I swear to the Old Gods and The New… (See, I even watch the fucking show! That’s a reference!)
