#mind you daemon is a poorly written Gary stu

Hotd: tries to empower a woman in a situation where she is a victim of sexual predation, romanticizing pedophilia, grooming, and emotional (co)dependency

Also hotd: wait why are all these young girls and women shipping daemyra!!

I mean… I think people were gonna be weird enough to ship them anyway. I’m sure people did pre show and it was gross as hell in the book too

Edit: this was a convo I saw on Twitter that I thought was interesting. But it always fascinates when grrm himself is absolved of any blame despite being the actual creator of all these characters. While I do think grrm does lay the ground work to have real introspection about how things like incest in particular are detrimental. it’s just kind of funny to me that if anyone brings out the plethora amount of incest ships, inappropriate ships between young girls and older men, or my god the amount of r*pe/assault scenes in his books, you get hit with “historical accuracy” or “this is just how the fanasty genre is!!!”. Lame excuses if you ask me.

#just some food for thought I was thinking about #he’s the one talking about how great Daemon is and how ‘morally grey he is’ lmao #mind you daemon is a poorly written Gary stu #I have my gripes with the hotd writing obvi #but when does it stop being the writing is bad and people are just seeing what they want to see #like lucemond is one of the most popular ships in this fandom #grown ass adults shouldn’t need a show to tell them shipping a 14 year old with her nasty uncle is odd #asks and requests
