For the life of me I canāt understand how people think itās acceptable for House of the Dragon a show that is pushing for more diversity (making the Velaryonās Black and Mysaria Asian) to race bend the only canonical black character. If they wanted to race bend any of the characters they couldāve made Alys Rivers Indian. They could make Sara Snow Mexican and so on. Itās just so frustrating to see this happen time and time again in media when it comes to the portrayal of WOC in general but especially black women.
Like I don't care if people ship Daemyra you know? If shipping those two makes them happy go for it. My only thing is I just want them to stop with the racist shit they say about all the WOC in Daemon's life. From his lovers (cause they've said some racist shit about Mysaria too) to his wife and to even his daughters. At this point I'm convinced half of them don't even like Daemon because if they did they wouldn't stay shitting on the women who at one point or another were/are important to him.
Idk š¤·š½āāļø it's just very strange to me.
The discourse surrounding Nettles is absolutely crazy and you can tell itās being fueled by anti-black weirdos who are mainly Dumbnyra stans(lol Team Green have their issues too, but they arenāt the ones who are advocating to race bend Nettles š)
Honestly, I did not have a problem with Dumbnyra(and yes Iām going to call it that) at the beginning of the show. I was indifferent to it. However, that quickly changed when most of the fans started to show themselves to be the racist psychopaths that they are. Down to them literally calling Laena the n-word and celebrating her deathš:
You might say itās just a couple of the more āextremeā fans that feel that way, but literally go on their blogs, Twitter accounts, etc., and 90% are arguing some bs.
If itās not bashing Laena(yes they are still doing this even though sheās dead and according to them Rhaenyra was the love of Daemonās life so it really doesnāt make sense to do all of this for a dead woman who paled in comparison to the ālove of his lifeāš) itās bashing Nettles.
Boy, do they hate Nettles. I'm posting her picture cause this is the face of their nightmaresš¤£
If itās not saying Daemon never loved her and she was just this āgiant misunderstandingā between himself and the ālove of his lifeā despite him literally going against his wife and queenās orders to save her, itās saying how sheās Daemonās daughter or Daemon saw her like a daughter.
Their relationship was 100% paternal or mentee/ mentor. Stop mentioning the bathās which were father-daughter bonding time or the fact that they mightāve slept in the same bed which was just done to comfort a frightened child. Daemon would never get with someone so black I mean so foul-mouthed in canon. Sheās just his childš
Why do you want a bada** with a middle-aged white man? Youāre the one with the problem, not me even though Iām trying to infantilize a young black woman and pidgin hole her into the āstrong independent black womanā trope while supporting a white woman getting with her uncle cause I can relate to her. I refuse to read the books(or parts of the books) because every time I do I want to ripe out my hair when Daemon and Nettles' relationship is mentioned š
Anyway, if itās not saying sheās going to be cut and replaced with Rhaena(cause then they know that the relationship would actually be non-romanticāŗļø), itās saying and actively hoping sheāll be race bent because they canāt stand the thought of Daemon being with a black womanšš½āāļø:
All minorities are the same donāt cha know šand we have too many black people on this show. What we have Corlys, his sons, Rhaena, and Baela. Yes, Rhaena and Baela are mixed, but they count as representation cause their skin isnāt white and I canāt relate because of that. Why add the only in-canon black person when we have a whopping 5 whole black people in a sea of whites š
Also, we donāt know what race Nettles is even though we have pictures of her in the lore and in the books as well as descriptions of her appearance that show that she is black, but again every time Nettles is mentioned I get triggered so I skip over her partsš
Moving on. If itās not bashing Nettles they are blatantly ignoring that Rhaena and Baela are Daemonās daughters and his only daughters. Theyāll literally draw a million and one pictures of lizard baby (thatās what Iām calling it, cause again, these people donāt deserve respect) and pretend like it ever drew breath and that it is his only daughterš Or my personal favorite which is essentially Daemon is a good father because he didnāt abandon them on the side of the road (where they belong).
They were educated, clothed, and fed, children donāt need affection, stop complaining. The fandom loves Rhaena and Baelaš. No one cares about poor Rhaenyra and her boys(who Daemon sees as his real children cause they share the same skin colorš). Thatās why I draw, write, and gif for these poor neglected souls and completely leave out the black ingrates, I mean Rhaena and Baelaš
Finally Mysaria. Oh, Mysaria, Iāve got my own problems with her, but yeah they do bash her by pinning all of Rhaenyraās psycho deeds on her(so much for your girl being a queen who has "agency"š).
Like yeah, sheās not innocent, but sheās not the only one who isnāt innocent, and while I definitely donāt think Daemon was ever that in love with her given how quickly he was willing to call her a wh*re, it hasnāt escaped my notice that the only reason why she isnāt that much of a focus is because they do regulate her to just a wh*re š
They hate Rhea too and try to make her into a groomer to justify Daemon murdering her, but we arenāt going to get into that because we are talking about how this fandom treats the non-white women of Daemonās life.
Look, I could go on and on, but this ship literally attracts the most racist, white supremacist-leaning, self-hating fans(yes there are Black and other non-white fans who will literally throw their own under a bus for this shipš¤¦š½āāļø), and anti-Black fans by the boat load. And the thing is, they all hide behind āfeminismā when called out for itš¤£š¤£š¤£
Yeah, you can ship what you want, but itās pretty obvious at this point itās beyond shipping. If you are literally bashing every single woman and girl (especially the non-white women/girls) besides Rhaenyra in Daemonās life then dude there is something wrong here.
They definitely arenāt Daemon fans(hell he probably has about as many actual fans as Nettles doesš¤¦š½āāļø). They are Rhaenyra self-inserters who are pissed off that their ship is on borrowed time and ātheir manā is about to āleaveā their self-insert in the dust for gasp š± a black woman so they are taking all the shots they can to feel better about this Titanic ship š¤·š½āāļø
