Robb's Will is often lamented as the most disregarded royal declare since sansa stans (that make seemingly 80% up of the fandom on all social platforms) refuse to accept that she has been disinherited as it puts an end to all their rIgHtfUl QitN headcanons, but there is one that tops it; King Aerys's declare to disinherited Rhaegar's line after his death and appointment of his second son as his heir.
antis really saw Young Griff and made him their avatar and disposable narrative tool in their delusional fight against Daenerys. The amount of cocky fanon clownery:

People legitimately canonize their own plots and HCs ft. him, thick enough to fill out TWoW and ADoS, and have the audacity to expect others to do the same.
Tyrion can literally name him a green boy, compare him to fucking Joffrey, be used as camera characters to show us how spoiled and sheltered (x) and arrogant (x) he is, and Varys's tale will still be taken at face value. A notorious liar, who dgaf about realm and has set multiple wars into actions, suddenly becomes an advocate for the people for their HC of Young Griff as the perfect Ruler only to despite Daenerys, cause that would be so sUbvErsIve.
okay since @rainhadaenerys and @aegontheconquerorwithteats tags show me how misleading my post can come across;

He talked about the Boba Fett syndrom. It is basically how a side non-character captures the imagination of the reader/viewer way beyond the creator's intent. It's the "cool" characters that have one line or five minutes of screen/page time that gather a cult following. He also said he gets fan letters where people say, "I love Tytos Blackwood. Can we learn more about him?" He called Oberyn Martell one of his Boba Fett characters. - GRRM, 2005, NOVEMBER 22

What would be more in character for Daenerys? An optimist or realist
Either Daenerys longing for family and being hopeful, sweet, optimistic: by believing Young Griff is indeed her nephew Aegon vi, happy and grateful for not being the last Targaryen, supportive of his claim, wishing him the best and being incredibly sad when he gets himself killed...
Or Daenerys being realistic? Not shying away from hard, but obvious truths, instead of only seeing what she wants to see: hesitant to believe and questioning Aegon's ✨fairy tale✨ of The lost, dead believed perfect Prince and the Golden Company's support, doubting his true origins, mistrusting his supporters (her fromer sellers Varys and Illyiro Mopatis)
Have the people who think Daenerys will be rejected by Westeros (as a whole? XD) and seen as untrustworthy abomination due to the "bad Targaryen reputation" (from which Young Griff is funnily magically excluded in their speculations, very conveniently) slept through the part where Varys and Illyiro planned to use Viserys to create havoc to destabilize the realm so they then can present "Aegon VI" Targaryen as the gallant savior?
They literally wanted to play one Targaryen against the other with no concern that Westeros would reject House Targaryen altogether...cause that's not how it WORKS. Otherwise, House Targaryen's reign would have ended after the Dance of Dragons. None of the current houses would have existed past its first succession crisis or bad lord.
☀️Martell cultists☀️ unnecessarily working themselves up over three dead names, because they have deluded themselves their deaths and two lines about their life are some grand allegory to real life racism or some, when GRRM probably didn't gave two thoughts about them beyond giving his last Great House a reason to throw hands, will never NOT be hilarious.🤭
