viserys's leprosy is a symbol for the destabilisation of the state/the institution of the crown in the years leading up to the dance, the body politic's condition being reflected on the king's body. it starts even before he kills aemma because he's an ineffectual ruler whose small council is made up of opportunistic men, then (1.02) his hand is rotting away at the same time otto鈥攈is hand is preparing to exchange alicent for political power and is giving the king advice that'll cause problems for rhaenyra's ascension down the the line. it doesn't have anything to do with viserys's moral character it would've been wildly ableist if that were the case. aegon's disfigurement is also doing this, in the sense that he's effectively dead to his small council and his own queen mother because power cannot flow through someone who's been excluded from the bounds of traditional masculinity (and this is right when larys, also locked out of ever fully attaining traditional masculinity and is losing the influence he previously gained at court, aligns himself with aegon as he did with the young queen in S1). it's not punishment for the violent misogyny because famously that's not even considered as either of their great flaw by any character in-universe because exploitation of young girls for the propagation of feudal bloodlines is normative within westeros and something that's being repeated by both rhaenyra and alicent in the way they treat with rhaena and dyana/helaena.
