In the book, Daemon gave his non-Targaryen paramour a dragon egg for their child but sure, he's a Valyrian supremacist (wtf does that mean ??)
Another cryptic ask. I don't understand if this is a green stan coming at me or a black stan not getting the sarcasm of the phrase??
So this phrase means that Daemon isn't a Valyrian supremacist because he valued his illegitimate child with a non Valyrian prostitute enough to give them a dragon egg. So he actually doesn't care if the child has pure Valyrian blood or not as long as it's his child, he has the same value as his other pure Valyrian blood children. Which is a correct statement. So yeah if you're a black stan that didn't understand, there it is, if you're a green stan, you can continue reading, it will be fun.
Valyrian supremacism does not exist. The very term gives me ick. We're talking about a fictional, magical, incestuous noble family of weird people that happened to be the ruling family for centuries. Supremacism does not enter that discussion. Of course the ruling family are "supremacists" (🤮) in the general sense, they are the ruling family in a feudal context. But it's not relevant information or criticism because we are talking about a political system that is BASED on certain people's supremacy over others. Supremacy (not supremacism) is the quality of being superior to others. Targaryens, Starks, Lannisters, Hightowers, Tyrells, Martells ALL have that quality. They ALL have the privilege of being superior to others because of their blood. Among them, Targaryens are superior (not supremacists, superior) because they are the strongest house with the most special magic thanks to their dragons. They also happen to be the rulers. So of course among all the houses that are superior to common folk thanks to their blood, the ruling house is higher in the hierarchy.
So supremacy of nobility IS the basic foundation of this universe. Supremacism however is a modern political term designed to criticize the belief that you are superior to others because of a certain characteristic you have. So supremacy is a quality, supremacism is a political term. This political term should be used ONLY in the relevant political context and NOT in a political context that is literally BASED on blood supremacy.
I'm trying to explain this in the simplest words possible but using terms as white or Valyrian supremacism/colonialism/anti war for the ASOIAF-Fire and Blood universe makes you look stupid. It's like, reading a book about the French monarchy and supporting all noble Houses except the ruling house, so other Ducs, Marquis, Counts etc because the King is a supremacist. And somehow they are not.
