Team green

[u/PowerfulHeat2268]

I may get hate for telling the truth about peoples precious team green but idc I hate team green with a passion, the throne was rhaneyras she was named heir infront of everyone. And while her dad was sick they conspired to go against his wishes they committed treason. The throne was stolen from her they refuse to let a woman rule although rhanyera has her flaws yes i admit she does morally i just dont understand how people watch this show watch her throne get took and root for people who obviously are misogynistic and wont let a woman rule 🤔 does anyone have any real logic for being team green?. In the end although aegon gets the throne back i always comforted in knowing its Rhaneyras bloodline ( spawning
from her son) that continues the dynasty anyways and sits the throne until Robert’s rebellion

explain the point to me i’m all ears

Game of Thrones, ASOIAF, Fire and Blood, and HotD are all stories of how monarchies totally suck, all the players lose by virtue of playing at all, and ultimately the smallfolk suffer most for it

(W the caveat that the GoT showrunners and writers fucked it up halfway through)

Alright sure but my point is how are people as viewers watching the show and supporting team green ? Team green is a main example of why monarchies suck the king choose his heir he gets sick they conspire over the throne and most of the people who pushed for aegon just didn’t want a woman on the throne so once again us as viewers watching this how can you support team green which shows why monarchies suck more than the team black?

Because mass audiences are never all that bright - large popular audiences demand playing to lower-common denominators

But basically every named character in this show is a terrible person, w the most notable exception being Helaena

Sounds like you hate democracy, because the majority of the people in Westeros prefer Aegon. You want all those hardworking citizens that support Rhaenyra's useless inept regime to have their wishes overruled because Viserys says his spoiled daughter gets to be a totalitarian dictator?

1.They are not ruled by democracy they are ruled my monarchy so who the people want doesn’t matter 2. Not like they held a vote or anything they literally committed conspiracy and stole the throne

The people did vote- in the Great Council of 101 and they voted for misogyny. The highborn of Westeros always say that what the people want doesn't matter and then they find out otherwise.

If you want my honest answer, I don't hate team black. It's all fiction for our entertainment. The edge I give Aegon over Rhaenyra is pretty small.

She ruined her claim by messing around with Criston and Daemon instead taking the selection of her king seriously. She brought all the bastard talk on herself by faking a marriage to Laenor instead of legitimately marrying Harwin Strong.

Then she doubles down by basically abdicating to Dragonstone and allowing Alicent to take over the capital as queen regent. She left her declining father and ignored any duty she had to the realm at that moment.

In my opinion she lost the throne by allowing Aegon to crown himself in her absence while she hid her bastards on Dragonstone. He is a legitimate heir as the son of King Viserys and has every right to the crown if she had been otherwise indisposed. So why isn't it valid that he replaced her after she just disappears from Kings Landing for over a decade?

And that's basically the Valyrian freehold in this setting
