saying that an adult does not have control over their own actions is crazy. being a victim does not absolve you of the abuse and pain you made others endure.
Alicent chose to publicly humiliate Rhaenyra and her children for years. Alicent chose to verbally and physically abuse Aegon. Alicent chose to fill her son's heads with hatred. Alicent chose to marry off Heleana and make her have children at a young age the same way she was. Alicent chose to constantly question Rhaenyra's claim. Alicent chose to keep doing her father's bidding. Alicent chose to hide her rapist son's actions. Alicent chose to scorn every olive branch Rhaenyra offered.
part of Alicent's tragedy in the show and in the books is that her own decisions actively lead to not only her demise but also the demise of her children and grandchildren and her bloodline. Saying that "adult alicent didn't have a choice" is actually denying an integral part of the plot and her character development. She isn't a passenger, she's an active participant.
I wish the show had made Alicent the power hungry cunt she was in the books, no woe is me bullshit, cause now we have bitches who went to the social media school of psychology lingo saying crazy shit like this. Season 2 hasn't even premiered yet, I'm scared of the discourse I'll see when it does.

I think a lot of people can't visualize how big and heavy a fully loaded cargo ship is. there is no modern day bridge that could've withstood the force of that impact
