Good grief, it's actually beyond weird.

Could anyone explain to me what did he do that was so bad he is treated like the worst person in Westerosi history?

He called Rhaenyra a couple of bad words, okay. Unpleasant, but nothing horrifyingly evil.

Ormund also called Rhaenyra a bitch and people were giggling and blushing.

Or is Criston a bit bitter and pathetic? Yeah. What about it? So is Aegon, and he is one of the most loved characters in the show

Or, is he an incel? Which doesn't make sense, since he had sex with Rhaenyra and Alicent.

Or do they mean incel in that "misogynistic guy" way? Literally everybody in that show are sexist to some extent. Criston isn't some rarity. Worst things he did towards women were calling Rhaenyra a "cunt", "bitch" and "whore"

It is bad to call her that, but it's nothing new 😭

Daemon has also referred to women like that, yet nobody says anything about him saying such things

If these people want to shit on actual misogynistic incels, then go to that incel forum. These are true women-haters

No, Criston is not a good person. Nor is he evil. He has good and bad qualities 😭

The episode comes out at 3 or 4 AM in the morning here, so I'm still sleeping. But when I wake, I will quickly watch it and then giggle because it seems Husband is getting A LOT of scenes this episode.

HIHIHIHI, I CAN'T WAIT FOR HIM!

No, I don't care about the leaks. Let him be a cartoon villain, I don't give a shit anymore, I just want to look at him and then faint from sheer hotness

A post I saw on TikTok.

I...

I don't think that's how it works...

Rhaenyra and Daemon want power all for themselves. They don't care about other women 😭

In a matriarchy, at least its egalitarian definition, a monarchy does not even exist

He's pleasant, he's got humor. Yeah, he can be a bit behind in society rules and getting up in the faces of nobles but c'mon, most of the fandom treats him like he's satan 😭

Wait till they hear of his book version

So far, in the show, in my opinion, he hasn't done much wrong. He's a bit foolish, yes, but that doesn't mean Rhaenyra and Daemon can treat him like shit. And when Daemon slaps him in ep 2.

Good grief, he's one of your dragonriders! You don't treat a dragonrider like that!

If I were him, I would have fucked off from King's Landing with my new dragon

So, I just read a comment that talked about what will happen in ep 3. And it seems like Rhaenyra is the champion of the smallfolk now.

She taxes the nobles instead and feeds them maggots and rats to get revenge on behalf of the smallfolk

She also gives a speech to the smallfolk and gives them gifts and they applaud her

Oh my fucking gooooooodddd!

It seems Alicent and Helaena are the ones hated by the smallfolk now and Rhaenyra is the beloved one. They just turned George's words upside down. Fucking disgusting.

And OF COURSE the conceptual episode is all about Rhaenyra! It's not like she hasn't gotten the most screentime!

Aegon has, what, 7 minutes of screentime? And no scenes in ep 3 at all, it seems

Basically every recently popular post here has Blacks spawning in the comments and arguing with us. Why are they here? They can easily mute this sub and go back to their own

What's the point in coming here? Could any lurking Black explain why you are here and starting arguments?

Edit: I mean supporters of Team Black. I am not talking about black-skinned people, since some people did not understand what I meant

An utter humiliation ritual for the Greens, as always, while the Blacks aurafarm and are actually united. The Greens are like headless chickens running around

Rhaenyra's reaction to Jace's death? Bonkers, but in a good way. The way she shakes him and talks to his dead body...damn

The reason why I marked this post as NSFW: Alicent's SA leak was true. Jasper was basically approaching her like some predator and closed the doors. Where tf are her guards? He is being creepy, whispering to her. She hits him, tries to run, he grabs her, she fights, he manages to tackle her and starts pulling her dress upward. Just then, Orwyle and the guards burst into the chambers.

It's simply disgusting how much the writers sexually humiliate both Alicent and Olivia. It's just for shock value. I am a victim of prolonged sexual abuse and seeing it treated like THAT: As shock value and as a way to laugh at Alicent for daring to submit to the patriarchy and that the Greens are all vile and evil...🤮🤮🤮

Also...Otto Hightower. He was in the Black Cells this whole time. How he got there. Why? How? When? Nothing. And plus, he has been fed fat and brought before Rhaenyra. More humiliation for a Green! Rhys was completely and utterly wasted! At least Otto held himself firmly and didnt lick Rhaenyra's boots, thank the gods. R.I.P

Now...Helaena Targaryen. There were leaks that she is downright simpleminded now. These were also true. She babbles about chickens, follows Alicent around like a puppy, cannot give orders herself so she mimics Alicent's words and then looks at her with a happy little smile that is basically "Did I do good, mommy?"

...

I'm autistic. This is crude. This is vile. This is mockery. This is humiliating and downright ableist.

On to Aemond. Also humiliation. But I believe that was Alys's magic, not that little stab wound which did not affect him whatsoever before he made eye contact with Alys for a long time. And I'm not a fan of the armor either. It's a copy of Daemon's.

And, oh, the casuals are gonna hate him so much for killing Simon Strong.

Criston Cole and his 2 seconds of screentime, yay! And no humiliation for him! Yayyy!

Where tf is Rhaenyra's armor and crown? Mysaria gives the crown to her yet when she ascends the throne, she is not wearing it. Where did she leave it? Did it fall into the sea? Did Syrax eat it?

Also, ik y'all are gonna clown on her for drawing her sword when she and Daemon are cut off by more than a dozen Green soldiers, but wtf did you want her to do? Stand there? Yes, she does not know how to wield a sword but she thought she and Daemon were gonna have to go through multiple soldiers at once...

Also, why tf is she sniveling and crying all the time? In the book, after Jace's death, her heart hardened and turned cold and pitiless. Instead she is acting hysterical. Which is a valid reaction! Her son died! But I would have loved Rhaenyra the Cruel. The book accurate aftermath :(

But they wont give us that. She is Saint Rhaenyra, the Good Queen, after all! Better than Alysanne!

Also, Jeyne Arryn lowk funny asf, I like her

And Alys is ambitious? Whaaaat? *surprised pikachu face* This can't be! Women in this show are not allowed to be ambitious!

Now, the flowers on top a pile of shit: Aegon and Larys. 2 mins of screentime yet they carried, as always. They are the comedic duo right now. It's hilarious

The episode was very entertaining if you turn your brain off! So go do that before you watch!

Are we fucking serious? This is a joke.

Sure, the episode was nice and entertaining and I enjoyed everybody's acting but...

First of all, what they did to Otto? Somehow he was in the Black Cells this whole time, being fed fat, just to humiliate him. Rhys was utterly wasted. This has to be a joke. But I love how Otto still held firm. R.I.P

Rhaenyra's reaction to Jace's death? Bonkers, but in a good way. How she speaks to Jace's dead body? The ugly-crying?

Of course, Team Black is going to get thousands of aura edits while the Greens are being humiliated. The Blacks are this united, just host and the Greens are scattered and broken and turning on each other

Now, the reason why this post is NSFW: The leak about Alicent and attempted rape was true. The show just LOVES sexually humiliating her! And Daemon threatening to castrate Ironrod? Of course, the canonical rapist (For those who dont know, he fucks little girls in brothels in the book) is going to bring justice and want to castrate another rapist (who is canonically not one). Great job, Condom and Mess!

Alys being ambitious? No way! This must be a joke! Women cannot be ambitious according to feminist Sara Hess!

But, honestly, the thing with Aemond crawling to her and begging for help? That might have been Alys's magic, not the small stab wound one boy gave him. He is perfectly fine before. Only when he and Alys stare at each other for a long time does Aemond suddenly stumble and collapse. But...why Aemond? Why did she humiliate him like that and not Daemon? Daemon's balls-tripping sequence was funny. Aemond's is just humiliation. Like I said, the show loves humiliating the Greens. Ormund, Daeron and Gwayne are the last ones standing. Stay strong, my boys! Also, WHERE WAS MY HUSBAND ORMUND ANYWAY?! GIVE HIM TO ME NEXT EPISODE!

Now, something I really wanna talk about: Helaena

There was a leak that she is now just downright simpleminded. That one was also true. She follows Alicent around like a puppy. Mentioned something about chickens (Idk, I watched with subtitles off). She cannot give orders herself, just mimics Alicent like a parrot and then smiles at her in a "Did I do good, mommy?" way. I'm autistic myself and this is making my blood boil. She has no thoughts herself anymore, just Alicent's pet

Where tf is Rhaenyra's crown and armor? She has a sword like in the book but no armor? No crown?

Also, I know y'all are gonna clown on her for drawing her sword when they were cut off by Green-soldiers. Yes, she cannot fight. But she thought she and Daemon were gonna be ambushed by these soldiers. She has a sword. So wtf else is she supposed to do?

BUT WHERE IS THE ARMOR?

And, I can't, she cries and snivels all the time. In the book, Jace's death hardened her heart and turned it cold and pitiless. But we cannot have angry women, no no no!

Also, I love how Jeyne Arryn at least stands her ground against Rhaena. But I doubt we'll see her again

So, to make my point clear: The show is a humiliation ritual for all the Greens (Except Ormund, Gwayne and Daeron. For now...) and dickrides the shit out of the Blacks.

Yes, I know this is the "Rhaenyra Triumphant" part but the Greens are treated as so stupid and reckless and clueless who have no idea what they are even fighting for.

I might have missed a lot of things but, yeah. I enjoyed this episode deeply as entertainment. But once you put your braincells to work (It's mandatory to turn them off when you watch), it's a pile of shit

BRING ORMUND BACK FOR EPISODE 3!

I see countless posts here about how bad the bots are and how their chats get disabled etc

I have not noticed any of that. The bots work just fine.

Yeah, my chats were disabled in another account when I verified my age (I'm 17) but I can chat just fine without verifying anything or without waiting times or swipe limits and I havent bought anything.

Does it depend on where I live? Or will it catch up to me too?
