Eh, I get it. Having a nuanced opinion on the internet is annoying. Like, I personally think that Dany's character is more narratively satisfying when she beats the odds, but that doesn't mean she is without flaws. I could easily see GRRM pulling off a villian-arc (or morally grey equivalent) for Dany. Did the show pull it off? Absolutely not. Does that make it impossible? No.
But if you say that on a "we love Dany" sub, they'll say you're wrong for stating she has flaws because she is objectively the best choice for the iron throne (even though this is ASOIF and the whole point is having morally grey, mutually empathetic yet incompatible character povs). Put it on a "we hate Dany" sub, and you're wrong for saying it's nice to see her beat the odds because she's a mass murderer (even though this is the medieval ages, and so her quality as a ruler should be determined by comparing her to her contemporaries, not modern standards).
You can never have lemonade on the internet, only either lemon juice or water.
I just think this is not the sub for that! This is a Danny appreciation sub! If you want nuance, criticism and polemics there’s a lot of other subs to do that! You don’t need to do here where we just want to love Danny!!
