I Think The Idea That The Targaryens Are Not Worse Than What Came Before Or After Their Dynasty Is Real

i think the idea that the targaryens are not worse than what came before or after their dynasty is real disingenuous, bc it’s not about like “well the feudal system before was better than this new feudal system” that’s not the criticism, the criticism is the incest. and if you really think there is nothing worse about targ incest marriages than regular marriages, bottom of my heart it’s bc of this idea that incest only exists in fiction and kink, and isn’t a real thing that destroys people’s lives, just like rape is.

i see it constantly that “so you’re telling me lysa and jon is better than jaehaerys and alysanne” yes. i am saying that. i understand the difference seems academic, but a dynasty that takes the one (1) platonic relationship a woman can have that can allow her some sort of outlet for her fears and struggles and sexualizing it, is in fact way worse than everything else in this series (not even delving into the way it also harms men’s sexuality & emotions as well!!) i keep trying to make a ~smart~ post about it but i’m gonna be honest, i find people’s approach of “incest is fine if there’s no power dynamic issues” to be naive to the point of being purposefully obtuse and i don’t know how to say “there’s a reason our first interaction with targaryen incest is viserys sexually abusing a barely pubescent dany just like there’s a reason the first lannicest scene from their pov is jaime At Best coercing cersei to fuck in a sept next to their dead son’s body” in a way that is academic, and also doesn’t devolve into “kink and problematic themes is bad” bc i think george does a masterful job of exploring, dissecting, and laying out whether ~healthy incest~ can exist (it can’t) and i do not give a shit if someone pretends to be their girlfriend’s stepdad when they fuck but the same as we understand rape KINK is different than actual rape, incest KINK is simply not a real thing that happens in real life scenarios, because incest is always abusive outside of the safety of safe words and check ins.
