Game of Thrones earned a single Golden Globes nomination for its final season. Kit Harington, who played Jon Snow in the series, is nominated for Best Performance by an Actor In A Television Series – Drama. Fans were shocked by the single nomination, which stands in stark contrast to the season’s record-setting 32 Emmy Awards nominations. The show is most notably absent from the Best Television Series — Drama category, a category It’s been nominated in five times before but has never won.

We’ve collected some of their reactions from fans who are baffled by the outrage on social media here. Keep reading to see what they have to say.

Not a snub
This is not a snub. The final season of #GameOfThrones well earned this disrespect. It’s not even disrespect. The punishment fits the crime. #GoldenGlobes https://t.co/lomLeISWok

But they were so offended
But remember when this fanbase also submitted a formal petition DEMANDING the final season be remade because they were so offended by it?
