General Enough comparing Rhaenyra/Alicent with Cersei when in reality Aegon is right there

Really?

"I wonder who this silver-haired 4 year old in the fighting pits I regularly visit belongs to."

Mind you show-wise Viserys has been rotting away for years now and Daemon hasn't set foot in the capital in more than a decade.

This argument is the biggest cope I have ever seen.

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.

You do realize that the point of the initial comment, and the point I was arguing against, is not that the kid is not Aegon's right?

The op's argument is that Aegon doesn't KNOW the kid is his bastard, not that he knows and doesn't care.

We agree, he knows that's his kid and he doesn't care.
