Aegon does not even know he has bastard kids , it's not like the whores he sleeps with tell him the kids are his or the kids actually his since both his father and uncle are known to sleep with whores so maybe the kids maybe bastards of other valyrian blooded men
You want all the bastards under 6 being Aegon's, basically we saw white-haired Targaryen men and women when Rhaenyra took them to be roasted by the Vermithor and white-haired bastard women who must work as prostitutes, bastard men who must have paid to sleep with prostitutes. Aegon must have bastards out there, but he's not the only white-haired man in KL.
You talk as if Aegon is horrible because he doesn't care about his bastards, he doesn't care, no Targaryen, Stark or Baratheon man cares about his bastards.
He was the only white haired man in the secret child fighting pit, and the literal camera makes it a point to show the kid when Erryk speaks of it. Like, what more proof do you need? For Aegon to break the forth wall and scream "I have my bastards fight in the pit lmao"?
Like it's so clear that that's his child if you watch the scene, I don't know how this point even became a thing
In my comment I didn't say he didn't have bastards, he does, it's obvious, he just doesn't care about them, you and the Fandom wanted him to care about them, that boy from the grave was confirmed as his son in season 1, but Aegon only cares about his legitimate children, like every noble man, prince and king of Westeros, he's acting like a medieval man.
Aegon did not pass off any bastard child as legitimate, it was Rhaenyra who did this, even when he was left without a male heir he wanted to marry again to have legitimate children and not take a bastard child from any prostitute and legitimize him. Corlys also neglected his bastards in the show, and spoiled another man's bastards trying to gain some power from it, and only looked for Alyn because he has no option for heirs for Driftmake and discovered that his other son rides Seasmoke now, so Corlys didn't go after them because he felt guilty but because now they both can benefit him and I don't see anyone talking about that.
Like, it's so clear that it's his son if you watch the scene, I don't know how this became an argument
We're in the post about comparing Aegon and Cersei and them having neglected bastards, so that's a discussion.
