“The Greens’ ideology won in the end.”
The Greens had no ideology. They wanted Hightower blood to continue the dynasty. That was the whole purpose of the usurpation (and the reason why the usurper was married to his half-Hightower sister, instead of taking the opportunity to forge a powerful alliance with another House).
And thanks to the Blacks, no Hightower blood ever sat the Iron Throne again.
Mission accomplished!

The fact that there are female monarchs littered all throughout history in different countries and cultures who ruled as the highest power and yet TG fight tooth and nail for a younger male (who is not in the slightest fit to rule but he’s got a penis so who cares) to rule over his older sister (who is the legally named heir and has political experience) because ‘tradition’ and whatever else it is they cry about is still so wild to me.

watching people “defend” Alicent by saying the fandom hates feminine women when Rhaenyra actively gets all her feminine attributes stripped from her character in both canons and by the fandom itself, literally putting her on the same level as Maegor, will never not make me laugh.

One interesting thing I’ve observed is how alike the fates of Rhaena (Queen in the West and the East), Rhaenys (the Queen who never was) and Rhaenyra (the half-year Queen) are.
All three of these women were brought down by the cruel patriarchal system of Westeros.
But notice how adored and respected Rhaena and Rhaenys are by people in this fandom (as well as in Westeros history), compared to Rhaenyra.
Why?
Because Rhaena and Rhaenys sat back and never “dared” to do anything about the injustice they endured.
Rhaenyra did.
And for that, the maesters of the Citadel, who are not only upholders of the patriarchal system but also Hightower lickspittles, did not hesitate to attack her and spew lies about her. And most of these lies concerned her personal life.
Constant talk about her weight, even though the usurping king and his queen consort were both overweight from birth. Constant talk about her children’s parentage, even though there was never any actual proof of what her first three sons looked like and whether or not they inherited Baratheon and/or Arryn genes. Constant talk about how her husband was “unfaithful” (once again, without any proof).
As such, anything bad written about Rhaenyra Targaryen is hard to accept as fact.

people who ship aemond x alys
Well... Aemond took Alys as a prize of war and raped her there as a result.
Logical that we detect this relationship.
As far as I know Daemon didn't rape Rhaenyra, or anyone for that matter (nor committed crimes of the same horrible kind that Aemond did).
And he even less groomed Rhaenyra like so many people who don't know the definition of that word or how the feudal era works like to shout.
Alysmond is a disgusting relationship, and the fact that so many people would romanticize it disgusts me.
