Unpopular opinion: Being good (or bad) is overrated

My take with any ASOIAF product (book, shows, etc) is that focusing on who is "the best person" is a mistake.

Most of the characters are not good, but they are not evil. Yes, some of them represent the extremes of morality (talking in GOT terms, Ned vs. Joffrey or Ramsey), but most of them are not horrible, but they are not really good either.

I get why people like to talk about the morality of the characters, and why they act the way they do based on those morals. However...I do not care if they are good or bad. I found it very boring focusing on that part of them because most of the time it ends up being a competition between Blacks vs Greens and fans believing that being the "morally correct side" makes them more deserving of the throne.

But I felt that, since the show started, people focus too much on "this person is good" or "that person is horrible" as if most of them were not war criminals fighting for a power position. They are not fighting for morals, they are fighting selfishly for power. All of them with very few exceptions. They are not Ned Stark wanting the throne to go to someone who has Robert's blood.

I get it is also a problem coming from the proper show because it is a bad show where nobody in charge has been able to even understand the complexity of the conflict (no hate to baby George obvi). However, I think that fans do not help either and being that focus on "who is good" and "who is bad" only creates ridiculous debates.

Of course, you can support Helaena because you think she is a real victim of her terrible circumstances and feel sorry for her, and you can hate Aegon because he is a rapist, but when the focus moves more outside these clearly-morally-aligned characters...I don't think this is the best way to proceed.

For me, it is more about circumstances, if they are being simply cruel or if there is a reason why they behave the way they do or if they can show some kindness when they have the opportunity, in how they are able to adapt to their environments. I do not care if Aemond is a bad person for killing Lucerys, I loved that moment because it was dramatic and it was closing a circle for Aemond. What I hated is that it was an oopsie whoopsie instead of a chosen vile act but deserving in the eyes of Aemond.

I want to be able to understand the morals and thoughts of the characters without having my own morals constantly interfering, and the runners are imposing theirs into the show.
