It's amusing to see how the discourse around Daemon on social media perfectly fits with what was written about him

“Into incest” - y’all are so tiresome. Watching a show about Targaryens and thinking incest is a strike against a Targaryen when even a religious Hightower of Oldtown as Queen Consort marries her Targaryen children to each other AS TRADITION of their house dictates.

It’s literally not an issue in Westeros when it comes to Targaryens once Jaehaerys had the exceptionalism doctrine passed or whatever. Nobody cares about it except maesters because they follow a different faith.

Seriously, you suspend disbelief over dragons, white walkers, warning and somehow incest gets people panicked. The same incest is what allows their blood to retain Valyrian magic & their ability to ride dragons.
