one short damn fuse

You’re a misogynist not because you should support and agree with Rhaenyra but because you believe that when men abuse their power to reach their goals, it’s acceptable, but a woman who does it must be reduced down to insults of their gender. But guess what? Aegon is also a bitch and a whore and the common folk die by the thousands either way.

So, no, I don’t think that their actions are morally and ethically acceptable but it’s annoying to ignore the entire reason why they did them. It’s annoying to state that people shouldn’t enjoy the character as if everyone in a fandom must renounce and rebuke The Big Bads like they’re Satan and our souls depend on it. It’s annoying to act as if we’re not allowed to be excited about choices made within a narrative that we would never want someone to make in real life. Fiction is a great way to safely explore moral and ethical quandaries, and do so using the most cunty looking evil bitches as vehicles for it.

I too often see people comment "When will my city or town get a Mamdani?" when there are already candidates running on the same political platform as Mamdani. The answer is that you will get a Mamdani like candidate when you not only vote for them, but you educate yourself and others on their platform and why it is beneficial for everyone. We unseated several establishment politicians in our cities during the primaries. You have got to show up and vote and promote. VOTE and PROMOTE. If you're not willing to participate in creating the world you want to see then don't complain.
