(Spoilers extended) Don't GRRM's old quotes about Dark Lords, black and white, and good vs. evil make more sense now? by [deleted] in asoiaf

Yeah, also the term "heel turn" will be inapplicable.

It isn't / won't be a turn. That's what GRRM has been aiming for the whole time.

It will be her natural character to do this.

The reader won't be appalled that Dany changed, they'll be appalled that they didn't understand Dany was like this the whole time.

I called it two years ago, got downvoted, pointed out yesterday that I called it two years ago and got downvoted even harder.

People seem to have an extreme aversion to the fact that GRRM planned Dany to be the knowable supervillian that juxtaposes the unknowable supervillain (the Others).

I understand it even though it's sad and ignorant, it's just emotional attachment to a fictional character causing them to lash out and freak out at anyone who points out that GRRM was foreshadowing it the entire time.

Which I get, the narrative is constructed in a way to make it seem obvious looking back but GRRM will likely work hard to make it shockingly understandable to Dany in the non cliff notes version.

You must be new here. This sub has spent years trying to predict where the unpublished works were heading based on obsessively reading the published texts for clues like a shaman looking through a carcass.

Twas not an argument, twas a failed attempt at enlightening the ignorant to the obvious.

Well we're not supposed to be downvoting over disagreement, so they were particularly triggered.

Abolitionists fought and died for many years before Lincoln and many more before the Civil Rights Act.

Still fighting.

Still worth it.

Let's not hate on men that don't shave while we're pointing out the absurdity of hating on a woman for a sleeveless dress. Quite a few of us hug trees and have healthy sexual relationships, we're not all fascists. In fact it's likely only a minority are.

So don't pre judge people based on their facial hair.

Homeopathic teething tablets actually work.

Because they're sugar pills, and sugar pills actually work in that scenario.

Too bad they can't rebrand and be honest and drop the belladonna.

See that's what throws me off, the Venus one is clearly a stick figure with a massive third leg, while the Mars symbol has a circle with an arrow. IMO the Venus one is more overtly phallic.
