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

3. Thousands Of Slavers' Bay Deaths

Forget the fact that Daenerys is making money on the one thing she's striving to eradicate, but in her liberation process, I'd be willing to say the whole debacle was carried out so heavy-handedly that thousands have died and even more have been displaced and thrown into ruin because of her actions. She's destabilised the economy and culture of Essos, and once those two things are shaken, everybody gets sword-happy and stabby. Slaves who were serving favourable masters were thrown onto the streets, that caused disruption and chaos, and with the Sons Of The Harpy stirred up, the city has gone insane. And that's not even considering Astapor where all manner of trouble has been brewing. Everywhere Daenerys goes, people die. And everywhere she liberates is thrown straight back into slavery the minute she leaves. It's not that she's fighting an unworthy cause, it's just that she's gone about it in a slap-dash, hip-fire, scatter-gun way.
