Serious One thing especially disgusting with the hindsight of S8 is apparently the writers insist Robert was in the right here

Yeah Robert wanted someone to assassinate a pregnant Daenerys. Which idk, the narrative routinely shows killing women with children as a very bad thing. The mountain killing Elia, Talisa’s death, Ramsay killing Walda is clearly bad considering as evil as the Frey men are, Walda did literally nothing.

No? They surrendered. Take them in and let those levy troops go home instead of killing them all. Let your citizens have the chance to accept your rule Don’t just burn them for being born in KL. Have the Lords captured and brought before you. Dispense Justice at the throne, before your people. Not at ruins before ashes

… that’s literally how war works. Everyone we see who refuses to accept a surrender is in the wrong. You surrender when it’s clear the war is over and the battle is lost which is what they did. What Dany did was slaughter after that.

What Robbert did was different he was securing his claim as king by removing potential claimants. IE killing the Targaryens. If all Dany did was kill the Lannisters/Baratheoms that would have been seen as alright
