It's Father's Day, so shout out to Arthur Young who was too caught up in thinking about winking nuns and Ken Russel films to even consider that his baby was being switched lol

Why people defend Jon decision about swapping Gilly and mance child? He put Gilly child on risk and bullied her to give up on her kid because he could. I know he didn't want any child to die but couldn't he find another way to deal this situation?

I don't know why people defend this decision of jon's specifically, but I don't really believe we were intended to be "okay" with this decision of his, because obviously there would've been other ways to deal with the situation, but i think those would've been more costly (with lives or the possibility of the withdrawal of any support against the dead immediately) and ultimately stannis wouldn't have let this one just slide, know what I mean? that said...there's no real way to be like "yup okay that's fine". I think it's a shitty, awful decision that ultimately punishes gilly, but I also believe that gilly is a stand-in for another mother who's child may have been switched out to protect the baby with "better standings/more value".

so what we're seeing is absolutely about how gilly, not involved with jon or stannis, is the one punished because she's low-born and when lords play their games it's the people who suffer, and also about jon's actions, but it's also, imo, very in the spirit of "this has happened before and we've seen it" in grrm's way of flagging us to pay attention to this situation and aegon and varys. jon would be playing the part of varys. (and if melisandre and stannis play the part of the tywin lannister and gregor clegane in a way, i wonder if val is meant to be a parallel to elia or at least the closest approximation of a "protector" to the baby)

I think the controversy of the baby switch is to indicate multiple things to us: 1) jon's grayer actions while he's in command and his ability to see those darker actions through if he deems it necessary enough, 2) the likelihood that jon felt this was the only option left in order to trick stannis and that we're meant to see that stannis wouldn't have stood any other alternative besides burning a king's son and how focused he is on power and his right, even if he must do monstrous things to an innocent child 👀, 3) jon's idea of switching a king's son likely isn't original, particularly when we look to the likelihood that varys arranged a switch out for baby aegon and the clues we find throughout asoiaf that point to it

Russia Stays Transfixed by a Switch at Birth

By Ellen Barry, NY Times, Nov. 1, 2011

MOSCOW--For several weeks, Russian television has followed the story of two 12-year-olds in the Siberian city of Kopeysk: pale, light-eyed Anya, who is being raised by a Tajik man according to the precepts of Islam; and black-haired Irina, the beloved daughter of an ethnically Russian blond woman.

They would have remained so if Irina's father had not been convinced that he had been cuckolded. His refusal to pay alimony led to a DNA test, which led, in turn, to the revelation that two girls, born within 15 minutes of each other to teenage mothers in adjacent hospital beds, had been delivered to the wrong women. Their story has spilled out on television, Jerry-Springer-style.

On Monday, a judge in the Chelyabinsk region awarded each family compensation of 3 million rubles, or about $100,000, an unusually high judgment in Russia. Yulia A. Belyayeva, who has raised the dark-haired girl as her own, said they would use the money to build houses next to each other, so they can look after the children together.

"You know what I wanted to say in my closing statement?" Ms. Belyayeva told reporters, after the verdict was read. "Give our children back to us, the way they should have been. Then we would have no need for money. No amount of money can be compared with the gaze of a child on her mother."

The case has stirred up complaints about Russia's "birth houses," high-volume operations where women are often treated brusquely. After Ms. Belyayeva's first interview, on the talk show "Let Them Speak," commentaries poured into the show's Web site from women who said they had caught nurses mixing up babies.

"You may laugh, but when I was giving birth to my first daughter, I kept a black marker in my hand, and as soon as she was born, I put a mark on her hand," wrote a woman named Yelena. Another viewer, also named Yelena, said she was not allowed to see her baby until a day afterward, and then she found him tagged with the wrong name. "I was yelling, 'Where is my baby?' and the answer I got was, 'Come on, Kopelevich, Korolevich, what's the difference?' "

Though similar cases have surfaced in recent years, courts have granted much smaller awards. The story of Irina and Anya stands out because the girls' parents have spoken compellingly about it. Naymat Iskanderov said when Ms. Belyayeva contacted him this fall, he at first refused to consider the possibility that Anya was not his biological child, but when he saw a photograph of Irina he "almost fainted." He showed up, carrying flowers, to meet Ms. Belyayeva.

"We sat in a pizzeria and wept and tried to figure out what to do," Ms. Belyayeva said. Later, when she laid eyes on her biological daughter, Ms. Belyayeva said she "wanted to grab her and run away as fast as I could."

When the case was first made public, the midwife who oversaw the ward when the two girls were born told a television reporter that she could never have done such a thing, though she went on to say that the babies' "last names were almost identical." A gynecologist at the Kopeysk maternity ward made a television appearance to give his side of the story, and he seemed reluctant to assign full responsibility to the hospital.

"To be honest, it is very difficult for me to understand how, after you have received your baby, after it was brought to your breast, how could you accept another baby that is brought to you," said the doctor, Aleksandr Andryenko, before he was shouted down by the studio audience.
