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

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.
