I think batting away this concern also ignores that the show was following the books in that Dany is basically written in a way that makes you see her as someone to root for, even coming across as one of GRRM's favourites. When I read the books there was only one POV character (who made it past the first book, because Ned is sympathetic too) that I felt like he liked more and that was Tyrion. And maybe Arya. Anyway, Dany has never been one of my favourites but I can understand why other viewers were drawn to her because she's a main character and her grievances seem legit and are framed as such...at first.
I personally have never had an issue being a fan of horrible characters because I was stanning villains as a little girl but I totally get why this is relatively new territory for some people and causing conflicted feelings. Having a protagonist who crosses over into antagonist (or antagonist who becomes a heroic character) is a very interesting narrative device for me but we criticise fanfic authors for rushing this stuff, TV show runners shouldn't be immune to that same criticism.
