Reply to comment by Mir_man in The first season of Game of Thrones:House of Dragon has ended. What is your opinion about it? by mrnicegy26

Interesting. What gives you the impression that the greens are less about Targaryen incest?

Personally for me I'll hate the greens so long as they are propping up that rapist creep King. I find Rhaenyra a lot easier to support than Aegon.

Yeah on a Personal level Aegon is worse, but as a faction I prefer Greens because it will lead to Targaryens being less endogamous.

Edit. Aegon is married to his sister, so nevermind, screw both sides. I m personally happy the civil war weakened Targaryens as a whole.

I'd be curious for you to explain that further. It's not a topic I've given much thought to. But off the top of my head, both the greens and blacks are headed by a Targaryen sovereign claimant who is married to another Targaryen. At least Rhaenyra and Daemon wanted to marry each other, whereas Aegon and Helaena were forced into it for political reasons.

Yeah they are both incest fams. But I guess with greens you get the influence of House Hightower, Baratheons, etc which would make the royal affairs less exclusively controlled by Targs.

I personally prefer House Baratheon as Royal Family (The real ones).

So maybe it's lesa about incest and more about a general distaste for the Targaryens/desire to see other families gain control?

Its both. I really dislike Targs except Aegon (Egg) and his brother Aemon, and that's because they were very non Targ like and didn't partake in incest.

​

But I also dislike how Targs see themselves politically above all other houses in a racist way.

Yeah any family that thinks they have a birthright to monarchy sucks. But I don't think there are many folks advocating for democracy in Westeros - the major houses who aren't currently the ruling family all seem to wish they were the ruling family.

There's a real ickiness to "keeping the bloodlines strong" and all that aspect that the Targaryens and Velaryons talk about.
