This was my favourite part of the episode

i'm not just an "apologist" for that fictional character i'm his defence lawyer

I was discussing fandom with a friend and I realized something that my brain cannot make sense of.

For nearly a year and a half, fanfiction writers have been asked to write dark fics, to make Aemond darker or closer to the book version perhaps. And those fics have thrived.

However now that Aemond has become this "villain" (judging by some of the discourse over the leaks for the finale) people are in uproar and some fans are even shaming others for liking him. I have also seen insults towards Ewan, calling him insincere or a liar.

I'm confused. I thought it had been the point all along, to find enjoyment in darker characters? I was under the impression that the majority of us were here for unhinged war criminal Aemond, or did I misunderstand that?

If you're interested in discussing it, my inbox is open, and I'm simply here to understand. Bear in mind that I have not seen any leaks related to Aemond.

Phia Saban gave a wrenching, powerful, heart-breaking performance as Helaena Targaryen, Aegon’s doomed, haunted queen and mother to his children.
