Shock and disbelief, but that won’t happen, because GRRM isn’t a moron.

I went to check and yep, you’re right.

You don’t seem to be able to make the difference between a fantasy setting’s pre-established and rigorously followed own rules; and stupid shit that breaks those rules.

Occam’s Razor (which, since you’re being rude about it, I won’t explain, geez, honeypotting is not well known I wasn’t trying to be condescending) tells me the showrunners being bad writers is far more likely.

Because the first one was still alive at that point?

A Game of Thrones’ guide on how trauma works:

I’m having a grand old time hating on it, actually. Its shittiness gives me power.

Checks out expect for the fact that he was still alive. Almost tho, just that one detail

So there’s this thing called honeypotting where the audience desperately tries to justify a piece of media’s terrible stupid choices using speculation that is in no way supported by the text and this is pretty much a textbook example of it.

“Cock?”
“Dick.”
“Cock. I like it.”

The showrunners are trying (and failing) so hard at making it excusable that all of this shit didn’t happen one season ago

Problem is, so far she had four, because the show invented a fourth one actually by Robert who died young.

RHAEGAR CALLED TWO OF HIS SONS AEGON THIS SHOW IS WRITTEN BY CHIMPANZEES 

They’re going to call it Aegon because fuck it why not

This show is the stupidest shit on the planet but Rhaegar calling two of his fucking sons Aegon did me in. They don’t care, folks. They’re laughing at you.

Wait, what the fuck? When Rhaegar already had a son that was called Aegon? What?

Hence why people said the comparison doesn’t really make sense and has no value.

...you thought Japan was an untold haven of social equity?

Personally, I feel that the disappointment is fair, it would have been cool to have an Asian American lead, but I do feel angry reading the creators’ response. We did not factor race is never a particularly good answer to any question.

If the fairly simple point that the comparison is nigh impossible to draw without it having literally no insightful value is too difficult to understand for you, just fall back on an even simpler one:
