#you can’t discuss anything related alicent or TG there without being called rapist apologist misogynist and woman for trump

Honestly my experience in hotd twitter was/is wild. I watched the show when it aired but only interacted with the tumblr fandom. I saw people making gifs of Alicent and actually appreciating her character also people shipping Rhaenicent while doing gifsets, the hotd community here was pretty calm but then I made the mistake of going to twitter (after a year that I didn’t use it) and that was nasty as fuck, people were calling names to Alicent fans, being completely misogynistic, not only being completely obtuse about the character but also trash talking the actresses both Emily (made her leave twitter) and Olivia (the way they talk about her… yikes).

hotd twitter is full of targ stans that behave like football fans, incest lovers, blood purity apologists, delulu dany fans that feel hbo owns them something?, team black fans that bash people who like the green characters every single day. If you don’t love the TB characters and root for them then you “shouldn’t be watching the show”, completely brain rot and not an ounce of critical thinking, not like the community of asoiaf tumblr while GoT was airing. Everything is a fight and god forbid if you say a positive thing about Alicent or Olivia, they will haunt you down. There are no braver people than the Alicent girlies there, ready to face a hoard of insane targ stans, much respect for them 🫡

Being in this welcoming, kind, and supportive pro-Alicent Hightower community here in Tumblr has been great, but has also made me so very delusional, because when S2 airs people on here are going to be all “omg my babygirl with her big brown eyes look at her she’s done nothing wrong in her entire life.”

But then the pro-Alicent Hightower community on hotd twitter is going to be in the trenches fighting for their fucking lives.
