I still fail to understand why Sansa remembering Jon existed after someone told her he was LC of the NW holds more "romantic" weight to this fandom than ADwD's heart/home stuff.

The biggest difference between TG and TB book readers, it seems, is that TG often seems to use the much older style of reading/writing, where physical appearance is a tell of who is a villain and who is good. 

Think Harry Potter’s Dudley and Marge, whose obesity and punishment of growing extremely obese was used to indicate their terrible qualities. Or Star War’s Jabba the Hutt, who was technically a species, but clearly reflected the same process of a high school bully who made people give up their money/food. Their obesity was meant to signal laziness and cruelty against others (There is so little self-reflection of the author’s part in portraying the characters as cruel, it’s incredibly ironic). 

For TG people who read the book (as few of them as there clearly are), they seem to follow this style of reading the most. Rhaenyra being portrayed as fat is to them a message that she is cruel and lazy. Rather than parse through GRRM’s purposeful style that showed how women were portrayed based on what men’s opinions of them were, they believe the answer is given by the character’s looks. 

This also follows with Jace, Luke, and Joff not having the typical Targaryen looks, which, to TG, means that they were purposely denied such and therefore defined as unworthy and bastards (which is why, despite how “anti-Targaryen” they are, they’ll consistently make their OFC paired with Aemond as Laenor and Rhaenyra’s true-born, white daughter with silver hair to signal that OFC’s worthiness to be with their victimized school shooter metaphor). 

And while that style of writing isn’t always antithetical to GRRM at times - he definitely had his bad moments - it definitely isn’t GRRM’s point either. That’s why his 5 main characters are a bastard, a dwarf, an outcast abused bridal slave, a 9 year old girl who is constantly defeminized, and a cripple. He obviously wasn’t following the overall idea that looks determine/go along with terrible qualities. It wasn’t even the point in Fire & Blood. 

In fact, looks are sometimes a red herring in Fire & Blood. Daeron is described as charming and kind, yet he goes on a mass murdering spree, even killing people in Septs despite growing up in Oldtown. Rhaenyra is described as ugly and stout, yet no one in the Kingdoms cares unless they’re being misogynistic. The only point of GRRM including looks in F&B was just to develop the idea that appearance doesn’t mean everything.

I did not care for Khal Drogo. There, i said it. As a matter of fact, i hated him. The only thing that made me sad involving his death was Dany's reaction to it. Other than that, good riddance.

[damn-i-really-am-bored-huh]

If some people want the POV of a slave, why they don't pay more atettion to the POV of the girl who was sold by her brother basically as a sex slave to a man double her age and has lines about how afraid she was to be sold and that she still remembers that fear? Just saying

Yup.

[It’s because they don’t genuinely care about slave’s pov; thesame way they don’t care about any of the poc’s pov (rememberwhen they were all oh-so-concerned about quentyn and about how danywas mean to him? Whereas in the text uentyn literally saysdany was the only one nice to him?). They just want some faux-wokecause to hate on Dany, which is understandable, since their faveisn’t doing anything to actually help anyone in the story; andhence they have a compulsive need to vilify other characters in orderto prop up their fave.]
