but if you REALLY think about it, all the lannisters are inherently incestuous in their family dynamics...

viserys's leprosy is a symbol for the destabilisation of the state/the institution of the crown in the years leading up to the dance, the body politic's condition being reflected on the king's body. it starts even before he kills aemma because he's an ineffectual ruler whose small council is made up of opportunistic men, then (1.02) his hand is rotting away at the same time otto—his hand is preparing to exchange alicent for political power and is giving the king advice that'll cause problems for rhaenyra's ascension down the the line. it doesn't have anything to do with viserys's moral character it would've been wildly ableist if that were the case. aegon's disfigurement is also doing this, in the sense that he's effectively dead to his small council and his own queen mother because power cannot flow through someone who's been excluded from the bounds of traditional masculinity (and this is right when larys, also locked out of ever fully attaining traditional masculinity and is losing the influence he previously gained at court, aligns himself with aegon as he did with the young queen in S1). it's not punishment for the violent misogyny because famously that's not even considered as either of their great flaw by any character in-universe because exploitation of young girls for the propagation of feudal bloodlines is normative within westeros and something that's being repeated by both rhaenyra and alicent in the way they treat with rhaena and dyana/helaena.

it pisses me off SO bad how transphobes have so effectively used sports to launder transphobia and misogyny to people. like does nobody remember like ~5-10 years ago when it was a MAJOR feminist talking point to argue for desegregating sports and going by skill level instead of gender separation??? and now, because so many cis people hate trans people so violently and think we should be excluded from all aspects of public life, you’ve got a whole bunch of women who call themselves feminists laundering misogynistic talking points about how “women are just inherently weaker and worse at athletics than men :(( it’s just biology and women are inherently inferior :(( this is definitely not misogyny that’s unsupported by science, women are just weaker and worse at things :((“ like girl open your ears and listen to what you’re saying!!

People still tend to lump JK Rowling in with the category of ~problematic artists~ and I need everyone to understand that is not the problem with her. She is not comparable to anyone who wrote a piece of fiction you hate, or someone who made rude comments in 2015 and has since learned better.
She is far more like Elon Musk. She is a radicalized person with an extreme amount of social and financial power, and for YEARS she has been using that power to try to influence her government into hurting vulnerable people, on purpose. And she has succeeded. THAT is the problem with her, and THAT is why spending money on her books is so dangerous, not because her books aged badly.
Critiquing her work is fine, of course (I personally was never a fan so I really don’t care) but you NEED to understand that fiction is not the main issue here. And I truly think acting like she’s the same as the rest of any giant list of ~problematic creators of the week~ waters down how dangerous she is.
