If you really think that liking a character means you have to approve of everything they do, I don't know what to tell you. You are wrong.

(Anonymous) 2019-07-13 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)I liked her up until how she dealt with aftermath of Meereen, how she reacted to the news that she had killed at least one abolitionist by crucifixion. She didn't do anything to learn more about the city before invading it. If she had, she would have avoided a lot of the mess afterwards. She refused to learn from her mistakes and just doubled down on how right she was. Because of her more humane and laudable actions such as opposing the pit fights, people tend to overlook her other actions and not see them so clearly overall.
She had her shining moments after that, but her flaws and reactions were consistent. How she was obsessed with being queen and others bend the knee even in the face of the threat from the north was cringe worthy, but it was no different from how she insisted on her way or the highway in the east. It was simply laid more bare in Westoros where her ways weren't going to work so well. She was just another Stannis Baratheon in that respect.
I don't think there was any mistake in writing her, only that Season 8 was too rushed to fully make clear of what made her tick.
