Tormva - Human Being

The worst part is that they think that by doing this it will make her a "deeper character". Sorry no, it does the opposite, it takes away from her agency, from the trauma she expirienced and how she had to adapt to that kind of society and become an enforcer of said system. Now it's just "good" or "bad".

"History will paint you a villain"

Fourth wall breaking to make us believe what they're putting in Rhaenyra's mouth.

Alicent went to Rhaenyra's wedding wearing the colors her House use for war, which created the Green and Black teams. She knew what she was doing.

Alicent was the only one who actively hated Rhaenyra's children to be bastards. Corlys and Rhaenys didn't really care, Rhaenyra's own husband didn't care, Viserys was totally happily in denial. Cole hated it, but his opinion doesn't matter.

Alicent made it a big deal, raised Aegon to be scared of Rhaenyra when he had no true animosity towards his sister before. And telling her son to spare Rhaenyra after years of telling him he was a challenge for her and would die if she becomes queen, was silly.

She helped put Aegon on the throne, and when learnt she was wrong to do so, started to show disdain for him that led Aegon to take his dragon to battle and get burnt.

Then, at his weakest state, she accepted Rhaenyra's deal that includes the murder of her son. The very son who did not want to be king in the first place. Just so she could run away with Helaena and her daughter. She is literally fleeing what she helped causing. She could protect Helaena and Jaehaera and stay in KL to be by her sons' sides and accepts the same sentence she put on them. But no, she still wants a way out of this mess.

So, the writers telling us, through Rhaenyra of all people, "Alicent is a only a victim of patriarchy and will be paint as a villain" is so stupid. Yes, she is a victim. But it doesn't justify all she did. In season two, she marvels at how messed up her boys are, when all their life they heard her complain about Rhaenyra and her bastard children, how Aemond lost an eye and how Lucaerys should have lost his too, that Rhaenyra will murder Aegon in cold blood when she becomes queen (before he usurped her).

So, yes, she is a villain and history will rightfully paint her as such. That doesn't make her a bad character, nor does it mean all victims become villains in turn; Rhaenys is a victim of patriarchy too, Rhaenyra and her mum, the servant girl who Aegon sexually assaulted, all the women of the story are victims of that.

Yeah because THAT'S why people are talking abot them and celebrating the blockade, for sure, so sad that you can't cherry pick when literally no one is going to do anything to help and they are dying by the thousands during a genocide. Nice deflection though, go out and pick your perfect white saviour

The houthis are just one of many factions fighting for control of yemen as, essentially, the yemeni version of the taliban (which of course includes child brides and sex slaves) but their thinly veiled feudalist salivating over the prospect of controlling the red sea gets interpreted as righteous resistance simply because they declared israel their enemy, thus proving once and for all that the evilest fuckers can totally rewrite their image with more than a few people as long as they whip out a “but israel”

This just serves as a reminder that games are not made by studios, they are made by people, and those people left years ago.

Bioware today is not the same that brought us those games.

It's not even the same that was 10 years ago.

My boy, courage is a thing of honour... but what you're proposing isn't courage, it's foolhardiness.
