Though I believe that questioning the parentage of a married woman's chiIdren has witchhunt potential, I do think it's time we have an honest discussion about the Danc & the legitimacy of the contenders.
We too often forget that Alicent's bastards are ineligible for the throne🧵
@belladonnafeli The Starks get their powers from claiming women as war prizes. I think it makes sense for an earlier greenseer to be a Stark woman who chafes at her gender role and has a child with a man from the "it's all about misogyny" family.
so no women led projects no projects led by people of color despite wonderman bagging the emmy nomination for lead actor and they wanna tell me mcu isn’t a white dude slop fest anymore right right okay
People will whine about "classism" but had Ulf been a prince and another trueborn brother of Daemon's, Daemon probably would have done worse. Fact is, Daemon and Rhaenyra have both been incredibly lenient compared to the average lord in their position.
I find it funny how every positive review of these episodes is just always the most intense most unseen before thing ever....and then the episode airs and its the same four convos we've seen for 2 seasons. Maybe 2-3 shots of a chopped up battle scene if we are lucky.
@rvgsdelight The writers go on & on about how they want to make it enjoyable for people who haven't read the book. But if I hadn't read the book, I'd be VERY confused, bc it looks like the writers thought "well, they're two loose ends to tie up so why not put the two black people together?"
@rvgsdelight The thing is if they played Alyn more like his book counterpart, it could make sense for Baela to hook up with him for fun, and escapism, because that's supposed to be what she's doing right now. What the hell is this? They're making it HARDER for themselves by deviating from F&B
@yalad_w@itslegitnow@gamoroth1@evemmore The problem is, you are deeply stupid, and have worked your way into a misogynistic temper tantrum. That you are so quick and easy to do so is no one's fault but your own.
@yalad_w@itslegitnow@gamoroth1@evemmore Again, you've been given all the explanation you need. But misogyny has eaten away at your brain to the point that it goes in one ear and out the other. The only one who can help you right now is you, by committing to be a better person.
@yalad_w@itslegitnow@gamoroth1@evemmore To be clear, this conversation was never about the people in the SHOW. Yes, the people in the show are misogynists, Rhaenyra is the victim of said misogyny, and she's in an impossible situation. But this was always about how REAL people are being misogynistic. Like you.
@yalad_w@itslegitnow@gamoroth1@evemmore atp you are very obviously a misogynist who doesn't realize it because it's that deeply engrained into you, and each time you "explain" yourself you're just digging yourself in deeper. I'm not saying you're misogynistic because you're stupid, but misogyny is making you stupid.
@AtlantisFell Additionally then her being the "wild card" in the council's eyes who they know the least would then make sense, because Daemon would feel the need to keep her away from the center of court
@yalad_w@itslegitnow@gamoroth1@evemmore Whole point is going right over your head because you're ducking. There's nothing she can do and the only reason people have latched on to this is because of misogyny. The fact you deny that is also misogyny.
@itslegitnow@gamoroth1@evemmore A king who had no other recourse at the time and all he had to offer was thoughts, prayers, and reassurances? No. People would say he's in an impossible position.
@gamoroth1@evemmore She understands action is better than gesture, but at this point, all she has is gesture and she's being judged on the delivery of those gestures in a way a king never would. She cannot win.
ppl can moan and groan about fabien/criston supposedly being treated horribly by the writers, but numerous concerns about the direction of MULTIPLE female characters gets you dogged out and hate quoted to no end…
