Its hilarious when blackcels try to hijack tg narrative to go: OH it would be SOO good if we got book alicent from the beginning! She was such a flawed, ambitious, nasty woman! If only we got book alicent with our regular victim self-insert non-fat rhaenyra! Tis so unfair! UH NO THANK YOU blackcels. Tg does want a more book aligned alicent but wouldnt it be equally good if we also got a more book aligned rhaenyra? From the beginning? A flawed, ambitious, nasty woman who is not whitewashed at the cost of all other characters? For all the whitewashing alicent gets, she also gets ritualistic humiliations (sexual and otherwise) as punishments and the fandom does call her out for her bs. But one cannot even call out poo rhaenyra for her actions without being labelled a misogynist by blackcels. As soon as someone does these cultlike posers are up in arms, backtracking. So book accuracy only when it makes tg look *nasty* but not when it makes their faves look too? Got it!
