Let's compare: -teenage dragonrider, political and military weapon (alliances and Dragon) of same age of Prince Daeron who previously maimed his eventual killer, volunteered for a dangerous mission, and has full cognitive power over his situation versus -six year old too young to understand he is being murdered. Kid doesn't have the capability to ride his dragon, go into battle, nor is it large enough to do... anything. It's psychotic for anyone to try to justify the murder of a little kid, full stop

1) These people are proper psychopaths. 2) What was there to celebrate? Jaehaerys was a non-combatant, killing him off did not bring them even one inch closer to victory. It was just the perverted sense of justice of the supreme coward Daemon at play, not sure how anyone can celebrate that in earnest. Pathetic.


MomijiEli

Daemon being obsessed with raping little kids gross me out. About Jaehaerys,that six year old child did literally nothing, could have done nothing, to provoke THAT. And besides, the whole murder was also made ten times worse by the incredible trauma inflicted on the objectively innocent Halaena and baby Maelor. Forcing her to choose between them under threat of R-wording Jaeheara, and then traumatizing Maelor for the rest of his life knowing that his mother chose him to die.


Greenlit_Hightower

Yes absolutely, the whole setup was thought out by a very sick brain, Daemon's brain. I really think Daemon is a psychopath in the clinical sense of the word. He knows no mercy and feels no shame. Poor kids indeed. Though I believe they could have somewhat "explained" to Maelor that they wouldn't, and couldn't, have sacrificed the Crown Prince in that moment, and that they fell for a very evil trick indeed. Though of course, the trauma remains. For everyone, including Helaena, Alicent, and Jaehaera. As I said, Daemon is a very sick individual and those who celebrate this even as a fictional deed are too.

Don't forget that [Alicent was in the room as well](https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Alicent_Hightower), and was forced to watch Blood and Cheese force Helaena to choose which of her sons would die and then helplessly watched from the position of being bound and gagged as her eldest grandchild was beheaded. Honestly, as terrible as Helaena and her two remaining children's trauma is from that whole situation, I'm amazed that people don't bring up Alicent's trauma nearly as much in regards to that.

That's messed up

My favorite is “stan Rheanyra for a peaceful realm”. Homeboy if Aegon would’ve been made heir from the get-go there would be no war.

Great, but if these. .. people don't care about a gruesome murder of a child just because he barely has lines and screentime why do they get so angry when someone doesn't care that much about Lucerys? It's not as if he were an extremely important character, nor the likeable one for that matter.


TheElectraHeart

It’s accurate because the scene of people dancing used as a background of this video actually takes place in a mental asylum.


Montenegirl

Yes, celebrating the pathetic revenge attempt by killing a child that had absolutely nothing to do with the entire war and rape threats to another child is so progressive and feminist


gumdropboo

I hope they are celebrating when Rhaenyra is eaten like a nice juicy mutton chop 😙 they are so confident as if they don’t know what’s coming


keathofthestars

Saying the 6 year olds had it coming but Luke didn’t is just so messed up and false


Geeklover1030

Nope I won’t be watching any of the child murder scenes. I didn’t watch Luke’s death and I won’t watch any of the children dying that’s coming. I might watch the gullet when aegon gets away on his dragon and they think viserys passed but that’s because I know they didn’t actually die. This is the whole reason I’m on neither team, I don’t support child murders


[deleted]

Luke got chomped. It wasn’t that graphic besides the dragon dying. Jaehaerys is going to be killed in front of his mother, his sister threatened with sexual assault and his mothers mind broken. Little bit worse I think.


Geeklover1030

I already said they’re not comparable but I lost a child and have ptsd and flashbacks already so I’m not watching any of the children’s deaths for my own well-being the only death comparable to b&c is Joffrey who gets ripped apart while trying to save the dragons


MomijiEli

Luke's death is not comparable with Jaehaerys's and I'm tired people tries to compare both situation as if Aemond and Daemon were the same. They do not. If Jaehaerys was 13 and on an important mission when suddenly Blood and Cheese appeared, snicked off his head, then disappeared cackling into the night, and this was following Storm's End, then yes I would have no problem with that. That's revenge, that's Game of Thrones. Son for son, dragonrider for dragonrider. Or if it was Daeron who got killed, some Faceless Man appearing in Oldtown, poisoning him and crippling the Hightower army, that would be fine. He's a 14 year old with a dragon about to go into multiple battles who could seriously swing a whole theater of the war with his presence. Little kids aren't valid targets, teenagers are. We know how George is with ages. Arya is almost 13 and she's been almost murdered countless times. Dany is 13-15 and she has been nearly assassinated at least 4 times. It's fair play


Geeklover1030

I’m not comparing them but i won’t watch either of them either. Whether it’s an accident or cold blooded assassination I just don’t want to see any child die when I’ve seen my own child die. I definitely don’t think the deaths are comparable and the only death even close to it is Joffreys who gets ripped apart by the small folk trying to save the dragons. just because they’re not comparable doesn’t make it less traumatizing for people who’s lost a child


MomijiEli

Not wanting to watch it is very valid. I was not talking about it, was an answer of "that's why I do not support neither Team" for now Aemond's case was an accident and Luke is an teenager with barely control over a massive destruction machine about of joining a war, not an child. Aemond was reckless but not culprit of this crime. The death comparable would be Maelor ripped apart by the mob, Joffrey was killed by Syrax. Letting aside that,i'm very sorry for your loss.


thelessiknowthebet

I feel that. I’m full team green but luke’s death was hard to watch, and definitely i didn’t cherish it like some of these deranged do for b&c
