No you don't understand. When people get prosecuted for Nazi activities it's usually much more than merely saying "The Holocaust didn't happen." Americans in general really overestimate the extent to which these kinds of laws are enforced. This generally stems from a divide between the 'spirit of the law' (it's mainly meant to prohibit political figures from being openly Nazi) and the 'letter of the law' (thinking a policeman will literally handcuff you if you say 'The Holocaust didn't happen' to their face). Americans generally feel the need to spell out every little thing for fear of the law being gamed or selective enforcement (this is why EULAs and License agreements have obnoxious 20-page unreadable legalese crap), whereas continental Europe has a more relaxed approach to the spirit of the law and favors clarity through brevity. A similar misunderstanding arose when GDPR enforcement was looming.

I agree GoT fans are weird but come on, it's taken him a literal decade to finish the last book and it's going to take more with the next one. You don't have to bring up higher notions of entitlement or contract law to make the simple remark that the dude is slow and riding the gravy train that came with his early books (which took him much less to write, incidentally). Saying 'it's your fault' just makes you look like kind of a dick.

Alright. In France or in Germany, if you walked up to a police officer and started saying in a bright clear voice "The Holocaust didn't happen" (in French or German of course), what do you think would be the more likely response:

1) "You're under arrest"

2) "Fuck off, nerd"
