Ngl something about people stanning Rhaenyra & wholeheartedly supporting her as a BAMF anti-patriarchy protagonist but calling Alicent a myriad of names, belittling & disregarding her traumas etc. Grosses me out fr.

It doesn't surprise me because it happens quite a bit on social media but some of the shit I've seen people write without an ounce of self-awareness just baffles me. The lack of sympathy boggles my mind, seriously 😐

#hypocrite #love women #she wanted it #alicent wanted to fuck viserys #house of the dragon #hotd #rhaenyra targaryen #alicent hightower #especially when alicent is a but nyra stans are supposedly the ones who and want to emancipate women etc.#even worse is when alicent gets victim-shamed & belittled & accused of putting HERSELF in horrific situations aka #where is sympathy? where is self-awareness?#skskks i just hate it when ppl act like they care about women and then spit vile stuff at other women #obvs can work vice versa but i tend to see more hate towards alicent than nyra (but it isn't okay in either direction!!)#some of the worst takes are like and shit like that #idk if you're supporting team black for a woman to be on the throne & you're anti-patriarchy etc. but saying the vilest shit...#towards alicent then i don't think you can call Alicent a hypocrite #I'm always tentative about labelling things as like misogynistic and whatnot but some of the things I've read are like borderline...#misogynistic talking points #i can understand maybe not liking alicent #but being unable to have even a shred of sympathy or empathy for her not so much esp when you're all yeehaw for feminism & Rhaenyra etc #this is worded awfully but you get the picture lol
