There seems to be a disconnect when it comes to the whole Daemyra situation and discourse and contemporary versus medieval morals.

Like some of the same people who detest feudal patriarchal society and wholeheartedly support Rhaenyra as Queen, don't see an issue with her having bastard children & premarital sex etc. Are also the ones who see Daemon grooming Rhaenyra and go "but child marriage was acceptable back then", "she was of marrying age" and "it's not grooming, he loves her" etc.

It's obviously only a select few but that's so weird to me. Like screw the patriarchy, yeehaw girlboss, men suck, Criston is an incel etc. But Daemon grooming Rhaenyra is perfectly normal 💀

#gameofthrones #house targaryen #house of the dragon #hotd #rhaenyra targaryen #daemon targaryen #fire and blood #it's just weird to me that people will support nyra & support daemyra as this soulmate fairytale esque romance #as if it doesn't have some fucked up dynamics #it also confuses me how ppl just totally imagine up daemon as being this incredible upstanding guy #i can understand finding him compelling/liking him based on his unhinged and fucked up behaviour #but pretending he has no flaws and that those flaws aren't harmful (+harmful directly to women & nyra) is a lil silly imo #that's a gripe i have with hotd fandom in general; you don't have to reimagine a character as flawless to like them #nyra nor daemon is perfect that's meant to be the point #neither side is morally superior or correct #but anyway... if ur on nyra's side and hate the patriarchy in hotd but daemyra is your ult ship i have many questions no offence #the show did a v good job of making daemyra aesthetically pleasing with the whole soulmate thing but skksksk i can't
