I Just Hate When I See Those Takes About How The Misinterpretation Of Dany Is Just Because Of The Show - Tumblr Posts

I know people like to blame the show for all the misinterpretation that happened to the characters, but I really wish people wouldn’t forget that the misinterpretation of Dany’s character didn’t come just from the show. There were plenty of self-titled book snobs who dedicated years of their lives to write thousands of metas on several forums and social media (Westeros.org, Quora, Reddit, Tumblr and even Wordpress) about how horrible Dany was, mischaracterizing her on everything, saying she was arrogant, that she lacked self reflection, that she was stupid, nothing without her dragons, tyrannical, etc. Blaming it all on the show erases the role that these antis had in shaping the fandom to be what it is today in regards to Dany. And that’s something that bothers me, because I consider the role these people had in influencing the fandom to be crucial for the view the fandom has of Dany as a villain, and it might have even influenced D&D to do what they did.
