Fics like the one I just read make me glad I’m not heavily involved in ASOIAF fandom. A man mows down thousands of men with his fire-breathing monster, men who were fighting for a cause they believed was just, and we’re supposed to feel sorry for him because he spends the whole fic being sad and mopey about it and his mom isn’t white. Really.
These fics are supposedly written to thumb one’s nose at a huge racist pro-Blackfyre segment of fandom. Where are these people? No one in the fandom supports the Blackfyres. NO. ONE.
ETA: keep in mind that this is a universe where we’re supposed to see the Field of Fire as a BAD thing.
ETA2: I’m brown. So. Yeah.
