I sent that post about Greenies crying about Alicent being a child bride/maritally raped/sexually assaulted.
I don’t understand how the point of my ask went completely over the head of darkblackgalaxy but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at this point with Greens nonsensical defences. My point was that Alicent made Helaena a child bride - key word being child bride. Alicent very well could have just betrothed Helaena to Aegon and waited till she was older for them to marry but she doesn’t. Instead she subjects Helaena, her only daughter, to the same abuse Greens constantly cry about Alicent suffering.
Also, if Greens are going to cry about ‘Rhaneyra wasn’t any better for trying to marry her off to Jace’ (I’m basing this purely off of the show). Rhaenyra proposes a betrothed but proves she likely would’ve waited instead of marrying them as quickly as Alicent did Helaena/Aegon. Between the time that passes in Rhaneyra’s return to King’s Landing and the final episode Jace/Baela and Luke/Rhaena are still betrothed and not married. I can’t claim to know the book very well but it seems she didn’t try to marry them hastily in that either.
So, yeah, Rhaenyra is better than Alicent.
Anon refers to this POST.
Yeah, in the book/canon lore they were betrothed long before the Dance and never married. They were still betrothed when the two boys died.
Rhaenyra announced their betrothal in 118 A.C. while Baela/Rhaena (twins) were born 116 and Jacaerys was born in 114. Lucerys was born 115.
(Jace died when he was 15-16. Luke died when he was 14....just saying.)
