Wait so you really hate Daenerys for killing slavers ??? Bitch, I thought it was a joke. Wait till you learn what Algerian independantists did to French settlers.

I really do not know who the fuck you think you are talking to because i have never once said that. I think the show condemning Daenerys for killing slavers was one of the worst things they ever did, and i really don’t like the section of the fandom that believes this. It is quick easy and free to simply not defend slavery and it’s super gross when people do in any context. Killing slavers is pretty black-and-white morally justified. I do not really understand the Discourse around whether it’s okay for her to do that. The ambiguity comes from the fact that she does not always successfully move towards liberation, there’s collateral damage, and she sometimes speaks for others when she shouldn’t, but the question of whether ending slavery is a good idea should not at all be up for debate?

I am pretty sure this ask is misdirected or bait because I have talked at length about how my favorite thing about Dany is that she’s a liberator intent on dismantling oppressive systems (some of which her family before her helped build.) She wants to go home, but home never really existed for her, so she has to create a better world!!! She’s makes a lot of mistakes on account of being 15, but she’s trying. It’s an uphill battle because she is trying to uproot the deeply rooted economic and sociocultural system at the core of the enslaver societies in Essos, which would a difficult task even if she was not literally fifteen with terrible advisors and facing active resistance from the enslaver class at every juncture. But it is still worth attempting because ending slavery is a very righteous and morally correct goal.
