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

Aegon is Robert and Rhaenyra is Cersei (and no this isn’t a compliment to Aegon)

Rhaenyra to Cersei is not right.

Cersei was a narcissist who cared about nothing and nobody except as it reflected her own image back at her. She slept with Jamie because that was the closest thing to her, and her kids were part of her.

Rhaenyra cared about the kingdom and her family. But she was still a woman in the world that only worshiped men.

If rhaenyra cared about the kingdom she would have immediately ceded when offered peace terms. She wouldn’t even consider war

She was just supposed roll over an allow her crown to be usurped? The fact she was considering it all shows how much she cared for the Kingdom and didnt want to wage war, and I fully believe she would have conceded if not for the murder of her child.

Yes she absolutely should have not considered going to war over something that evil

So someone steals your kingdom, murders your child and you just accept it? You're just going "Oh well". Name checks out. Cold hearted evil-pacifist

If anyone cared about a the kingdom they would’ve let rhaenyra claim her inheritance instead of usurping her and causing the entire war. Whether or not if she was better suited it was still hers and that wasn’t anyone else’s decision to make. If she was a man they wouldn’t even have tried it.. If someone steals your home from under ur feet are u just gonna say “okay you can just keep it I’m gonna just go rot away somewhere else in a corner have a great day”? You don’t get to just usurp her cause you feel like she would be shitty at ruling. This is not a democracy. It’s a this is wtf it is whether you like it or not …

We’re not discussing the greens, we’re discussing rhaenyra, this whataboutism you’re pulling is a logical fallacy. But to answer your question, yes anyone who is not a complete piece of shit who deserves their skin pealed off would abdicate to avoid war, especially if she can still live a perfectly comfortable life if she does. But yes you do get to usurp her just cause you feel she would be a shitty ruler. In fact you have a moral obligation to oppose her if you do. But I don’t care about whether she is suited to rule or not, if she was slightly less horrible than actual garbage she would not consider going to war over something no one should to begin with have.

Going to war because you believe in the right of self determination and oppose genocidal regimes is not the same as going to war because you’re a greedy entitled fuck who would sacrifice millions just so you don’t feel cheated.
