The changes the writers made to Alicent, Aemond, and Aegon have too many modern connotations and it disturbs me that so many people find those connotations "sympathetic."

#and my GAWD do their fans get angry when you point out those very glaring and intentional connotations #no it's not insensitive to point out that Aemond is a shoot shooter when his main trait is aggrieved entitlement #No it's not insensitive to point out that Alicent is a Woman for Trump and a White Woman™ when that's how she was intentionally written #Do I think that it's overly simplistic writing? Yes. But that doesn't change the fact that that's how the story is written #asoiaf #hotd #hotd critical #team black #asoiaf fandom #fire and blood #anti team green #hotd sexism #I will defend people who argue that Cole is not an incel though. He's not. He's actually something worse #And his characterization is actually better rooted in the European Medieval time period than the others - to an extent
