#not necessarily anti daemyra whilst I personally hate the ship my main issue with daemyra is I rarely see people talk about the abuse

Can we all take a moment to thank Emma for protecting Rhaenyra, they hate Daemyra just as much as we do and made sure the writers lessened their scenes with Matt.

If it was up to them Rhaenyra would be crying to Daemon instead of calling him "pathetic", nor would she bond with Myseria after realising how much they both suffered at his hand.

Something I find very unfortunate is how much people romanticise and love daemyra. People are allowed to ship whatever they want, that’s not the issue, the issue is I never see daemyra shippers talk about the abuse in the ship.

Daemon groomed Rhaenyra. He used her solely for his own personal gain. He abused her both mentally and physically. Their relationship is not ‘cute’ it is one built off abuse.

I think no one (writers and actors) expected the viewers to love Daemon/daemyra so much. And I think one of the main reasons they like daemon so much is because he’s played by Matt. Matt is great, but the character he’s acting as is a terrible man and I think people are choosing to look past that for the sake of their love for the actor.
