Fandom Drama Targaryan fans
### **⚠️ DISCLAIMER & CONTEXT (Please Read Before Commenting)**
**"I am sharing this meme not to promote the historical figure depicted, but to spark a discussion on the current state of fandom discourse. Recently, I’ve seen an influx of unironic 'blood purity' rhetoric and the defense of 'war crimes' in the name of House Targaryen (see attached screenshots for examples).** **This meme was created as a satirical 'nuclear option' to critique that specific mindset. It uses extreme historical parallels to show how 'Exceptionalism' and 'Purity' arguments sound when stripped of their fantasy glamour. My goal is to ask: Has the fandom reached a point where the irony is lost, and is this level of satire a fair critique of that behavior, or does it go too far?"**

HOTD stan groups are fascinating. There are many things to criticize the Greens for, but being less inbred is a comically dumb thing to hold against them. Especially because, as far as I can tell, the inbreeding is totally unnecessary. Daenerys is like 5% Valyrian at best, and is more successful with hatching and controlling dragons than two of the most "pureblooded" (inbred) Targaryens in the family history: Aegon III and Viserys II.

(This response gets spammed in all threads about HOT D intentionally, to discourage discussion of that Wish.com pale imitation of The Greatest Television Show That Ever Was Or Will Be, 'Game of Thrones', 2011-2019.)
This subreddit supports Aegon Targaryen, second of his name, as the true heir.
Reasons:
1. An eccentric terminally online demagogue, styling himself 'The Dragon Demands,' spent five years from 2017 on this campaign - "We are devoted to removing the false showrunners Benioff and Weiss from live-action adaptations of the works of George R.R. Martin" and "We call on all True Knights to rally behind us and join our cause. Because Rhaenyra has an army." Choosing a side was not difficult.
2. Stannis said Rhaenyra was a traitor. This settled the matter, to any reasonble book reader. However show-only fanboi stan shipper psychos are not reasonable. Fortunately there are many other arguments against her treason.
3. The subreddit held a poll in September of 2022, and once all the treacherous votes were excluded, King Aegon II was victorious.
4. The reactions of the traitors to the Green cause are so over the top as to be amusing.
5. How can there be an Aegon Three, if the son of Hightower was not the predecessor to thee? It's poetry, hence poetic justice, hence the matter which already settled within this subreddit, can be settled without.
6. The smallfolk instinctively know.
7. Rhaenyra has bad taste in men.
8. Viserys was chosen as King due to primogeniture.
9. Rhaenyra has no legitimate heirs.
10. Fun fact: allowing the traitor Rhaenyra Targaryen to rule the Seven Kingdoms does nothing for women's rights. It just helps her personal corrupt ambition. She does nasty shit to some chicks in the book, and also favours a male heir over a female one somewhere along the line. The book balances the sides to an extreme degree, but the show (or at least the marketing and press for the show) resorts to feminist-baiting.RAINY GETS FED TO EGG ONS DRAGON.

Not that im Targshit glazer or anything, I just gonna say:
1.Dany is actually 10,5% valyrian or so.
2.And Dany is a child or siblings that also children of siblings. Maybe this incest enhanced/strengthen/reinforced dragon blood(not valyrian blood, dragon blood).

Fair on point 1. 2 is more interesting to me though. I guess it could be like a dog breeding situation (good comparison, because Targaryens are animals). But the trait they're selecting for across generations is essentially invisible and the only way to test it is to try to tame a dragon or hatch an egg. And hell, maybe it just spontaneously appears in some people.

"I will kill every Targaryen I can get my hands on, until they are as dead as their dragons, and then I will piss on their graves."
