voltron Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I wonder, all the proven madness in the Targaryen family were men, none of them were actually women. The only questionable case was Rhaenyra, which for me was not madness but just an angry woman who lost a lot during the course of the events that happened during the war. And i think in her case this accusation is more the result of sexism than anything else, her actions and behaviours were not exaggerated like her predecessors and successors, and she were clearly more depressed and revengeful than mad. Other than that, it seems to me that the madness is a gene only carried by Targ's men, not women. So if this is true, Dany's case is closed.

Halcyon-Days Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 This is by far the silliest form of Daenerys apologism I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePrunesThatWasPromised Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 So if insanity isn't her defense for all the abhorrent behavior, does she even have a defense for the abhorrent behavior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltron Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 This is by far the silliest form of Daenerys apologism I've ever seen. The proofs are there, no female targs was proven mad during the 300 years of Targs rule, only men. Aerys and Rhaella was related by blood, but Aerys is the one between these two who became mad, not Rhaella, so the pattern is quite clear to me.

LordStoneheart Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Huh, never really noticed that... This is by far the silliest form of Daenerys apologism I've ever seen. Why is it silly when Daenerys is clearly not mad and the only mad Targaryens seem to be men? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ser Septon Maester Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 If Targaryen madness is really a genetic disorder (I lean it's more a side effect of being raised as royalty and taught to view yourself as like a god) it's possible it's like the hemophilia that plagued the European royal families of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, where women carry the gene but only it only manifests in males.

voltron Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 So if insanity isn't her defense for all the abhorrent behavior, does she even have a defense for the abhorrent behavior? She is delusional maybe, a little brat, easily angered, very emotional, but definitely not mad. Joffrey is far worse than Dany but nobody called him mad.

I've never seen anyone use "insanity" as a defense for anyone, not even Aerys, Roose, Ramsay, Joffrey, or Tywin. And what "abhorrent' behavior?"

LordStoneheart Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Smarter posters than you disagree. Actually, I don't think I've ever seen them claim her to be mad, just naive and under-qualified for government positions. And too bad none of them are on this thread.
