Game Of Thrones: 10 Things Daenerys Targaryen Wants You To Forget

4. She Profits From Slavery

Slaver's Bay is in ruin (more on that very soon...) all because of Daenerys' fight against slavery. It's a noble cause, and would be a worthy war to fight...if Daenerys hadn't already used slavery to her own advantage. She takes a tax on slaves. She liberated her city, a noble act, and was backed into a corner when several former-slaves begged to let themselves be sold into it again. It was a tough decision but she allowed it to resume. However, she went ahead and slapped a tax on them, meaning that in effect, Daenerys is profiting from slavery. Hmm.
