Fanfiction Club: The Rules
This idea came to me when I woke up first thing this morning.

City, Luna in autumn:
No matter what George does. No matter if he twisted it into "Elia was ok and never felt humiliated nor used, and the Martells didn't mind what Rhaegar did" or if George decided never to talk about Elia. R x L will always be disgusting and not a tragic love story.
Any sane human being can see that.
Even in a creepy scenario where she was ok with it OR one where she didn't love Rhaegar, he will always be to blame, and he still used her.
That's why the R x L stand always try to either ignore her existence or reduce it into nothing and her into some kind of supernatural alien human that is ok with everything dirty done to her.
Because they know their oh so tragic, self insert true love story will always seem disgusting because of Elia's existence in the story.
No amount of excuses or fanarts will ever change this truth. No matter which characters George will make accepting and supporting of them (Ned, Arthur, Oberyn, Doran even Elia herself....ect). Why? Because it's unrealistic.
Even if R and L's were running away from Aerys, then suddenly *accidentally* saw a prophecy or fell in love.
OR Even if George made it that Rhaegar wouldn't have left her if she had been able to give him another child. It doesn't change that he abandoned her and their children in the worst way possible with no protection against Aerys and his loyal kingsguard. And even then, it's hard to believe she'd accept just because he told her : Hey, I see in my dreams that I have to have 3 children or we all die. Like, what is this? She almost died for that, no thanks to you and your one after another impregnation.
It's disgusting and not well-written at all.
That's just the plain truth.
That's why a huge part of the fandom dislikes it. Not because they "didn't read the books" or "they lack critical thinking".
It's actually because they know how to think instead of inserting themselves as not like other girls girl and shipping themselves with terrible husband and father, charismatic depressed prince charming.
Poor Rhaegar had a sense of doom following him and knew he'd die soon so Elia let him be? That's very idiotic.
No. Elia being fine with annulment or polygamy isn't normal unless she is forced to. And you know it.
I swear, the nonsense i'm keep reading about Rhaegar (or the Targaryens) are hilarious.
-Asoiaf fandom does its best to absolve Aerys and Tywin of their crimes. Rhaegar gets ALL the blame for starting a war and being responsible for his wife/children death while the Lannisters, Aerys and co who actually DID THE DEED, get away with literally everything.
-The age gap is an issue only with Rhaegar and Lyanna. I'm seeing Lyanna fans (who hate Rhaegar) shipping her with...Arthur Dayne. Same age as Rhaegar 😭
-"Rhaegar was prophecy obsessed. The prophecy probably is not even legit"
Y'all....the PROPHECY IS THE TITLE OF THE BOOKS :D
"A song of Ice and Fire". It's the reason Aegon invaded Westeros.
The funniest part of calling Rhaegar “prophecy obsessed” is that the prophecy literally comes true. It’s the whole point of the series. The Others are real. We are reading the same books, right?
-Half of the POV characters frequently talk about how good Rhaegar was. TWO viewpoint characters are in love with him.
The fandom: this guy is clearly evil, the books are clear!
lol
-And the best one:
"The best thing Robert ever did was killing Rhaegar!" - Elia stans
Ok. Elia stans are defending the man who called her children "dragonspawn" even after their death AND he was pleased of their death.
Twisted logic.
.....
I am once again asking if half the people in this fandom even like the series
