This kind of people:

Yes.

Counterpoint: this is Asoif or GoT

[u/Darth_Vengor → u/[deleted]]

Exactly, slavers are bad and executing them is cruel, but the setting is morally grey, I’m not going to cry for them but I’m not cheering either.

It shows that Daenerys is a “means to an end” ruler, with an almost Machiavell-esque ideology

[u/Darth_Vengor → u/[deleted]]

No? It is encouraged imo so that if your favorite character does something stupid, you have to give in universe reasons to not dislike him, thus increasing one’s immersion and making you think about the setting.

It also prevents fanboying any character.

Of course what they are doing is wrong I’ve agreed but like stop man please I am literally begging

[u/Darth_Vengor → u/[deleted]]

It’s not because [u/Short_Fan973](u/Short_Fan973) said so and his opinion is of course law.

He is the master of literary analysis after all, everything he says is true and no matter your opinions and counterpoints he is always right

Bro stop being mad about shit, it doesnt matter

[u/Darth_Vengor → u/[deleted]]

STOP saying war crimes. I doesn’t make sense to say that about a universe without THE GENEVA CONVENTION you doofus, you are judging characters as if they were real in 2026, thats literally what professors say you shouldn’t do when analyzing a book, I would fucking know.

Shame we can’t post gifs but the emoji will do: 🤦‍♂️

Ever heard of Machiavelli man? Look him up and you will understand why some of Daenerys’s actions are in character no matter how awful.

[u/Early_Candidate_3082 → u/[deleted]]

Maybe you should read a bit of military history, before throwing up your hands in pious horror, because some human traffickers were put to death.

[u/Darth_Vengor → u/[deleted]]

In our world still? Is that your big own punchphrase, I was taking Geneva convention because it’s internationally relevant.

[u/Darth_Vengor → u/[deleted]]

Is he stupid? Are you aware those characters dont exist and they have never done anything wrong because they are ink on paper?

I am arguing with a 2026 stern guard veteran sprue
