I think what makes Daenerys so incredibly special to me despite George's orientalism marring her chapters, is that she was also deliberately written as a subversion of gender roles and the tropes that were mostly reserved for male characters in traditional fantasy were being embodied by a female character for one of the first times. Like people who roll their eyes at her now keep forgetting he came up with her back in the 90s. Nobody was writing women at the heart of their fantasy worlds as this Messiah like figure & main character. It's also just very satisfying to see how within the universe Daenerys's entire existence is a sweet sweet revenge for every Targaryen women who was usurped and forced aside.
