I was innocent and wise, and full of pain. Now that I'm a woman, everything is strange.

Westerosi peasants who fall victim to Robb’s armies or women who are hanged because they “lay with lions”, are a lot more innocent than slave masters who traffic, kidnap, murder, rape, mutilate, and torture human beings, for their own profit, and their own amusement. Calling those acts “slavery” does not make them any better.

Gared, the ranger of the Night’s Watch who gets his head lopped off in Ned’s chapter, is more innocent than any slave master.

In the House of the Undying, TWOT5K is portrayed as four dwarves gang raping a woman (Westeros) because each king, including Robb, is held culpable by the author and narration for destroying Westeros. (Renly died before he could do any ravaging).

Daenerys’ war is easily the most justified in the entire series.

And, it’s not case of applying 21st century values. In-universe, there are millions of people who hate slavery, not least the slaves, and freedmen of Meereen.

There’s no good reason why the values of the slave-owning minority should be prioritised over those of the enslaved majority. The Ironborn may well believe that “the Drowned God had made them to reave and rape”, but no one else has to agree with them.

The notion that “equity” is somehow a bad thing automatically condemns any reformer.

Yeah, but people who hate Dany will never see it this way, because it's not in their best interest. They want to hate her because she is a woman in power, and they use every disgusting and bigoted argument to do so. And that just tells you the king of people they are.

when you think about it, it's really something that Game of Thrones took the woman that was fighting to end the current structures of power and injustices of the world and saving all the oppresed and decided to transform her into a villain compared to Satan (like, she is outright called Her Satanic Majesty in the Season 8's script) who without any reason ends up burning half a million of innocent people instead of outright targetting the one person responsible for all her misery, and then is murdered by poor crying man who swore he loved her but knows what is best

Putting aside all the HUGE problems with all of the writing, I just find it fascinating. How the end of Game of Thrones is the restoration of the status quo. The council talking about repairing and opening brothels. How the Starks, yes, despite all their suffering during the series, still remain in power at the end of everything, despite being as bad or worse than the Targaryen, not even acknowledging their sins and how much their legacy and position was built through blood war genocide and conquest, how it was the First Men who, in the TV series continuity, caused the creation of the White Walkers

Like. Of course Daenerys had to be villanized. She was too dangerous. Her ideas couldn't be tolerated. What the world needed was... to keep the status quo that benefits and oppresses the same people again and again. The best the latter can get is a little time of liberation before the rest of the world, leaded and convinced by the same powerful classes, determine you got too much and you don't get to exist or to live anymore. Isn't that what we have been watching for the last years? How everything we thought was gained has been taken and is still being taken from us, so casually? Our right to decide, to feel, to live and exist? How the supposed "mercy" is just a lie until they get tired of pretending and show they had not changed at all?

Dany’s representative flower

Lotus:

The exact symbolism of this aquatic flower varies between cultures and religions, but all of the lotus flower’s meanings are positive in nature, including purity, overcoming adversity, and rebirth.

The lotus flower symbolizes rising from a dark place into beauty and rebirth, as this is precisely how a lotus flower grows. The plant’s ability to produce gorgeous flowers even while growing in swampy, dirty, and often unpleasant waters. As the delicate petals emerge, they remind us that beauty is possible even in the darkest of places.
