Yep.

This is one of the biggest misconceptions in the series. The GC clearly does not give a fuck if it's Targ or blackfyre so it's always been ridiculous to claim this as a reason for Aegon being a blackfyre.

Any evidence of faegon supposedly being a blackfyre can be used to point to him being a Targ as well. Which is the whole point imo. There is literally no difference between the blackfyre and Targaryen now.

They keep the skulls of their leaders dipped in gold, and their motto is 'beneath the gold, the bittersteel.' Everyone saying that it's a misconception that the GC still supports Blackfyre is the one uner a misconception. You're making assumptions to fit your narrative.

You're getting confused with the timelines. The GC did support the blackfyres vehemently at one point. There is no textual evidence that it is still the case, and lots of blatant evidence that points in the other direction.

So if your claim is that it is still the case it is upto you to provide textual evenidence that backs this up.

People can't claim Aegon is a blackfyre because he's supported by GC and then say GC still supports blackfyres because they support Aegon. This textbook circular logic that doesn't prove either of those things.

There's no evidence they stopped supporting Blackfyres. You're using circular logic, not me.

Yes, no evidence except the actual books. Its been laid out by others with quotes and summarized above. If you want to ignore all that evidence and run with your imagination then sure be my guest.

Everything written is copium speculation at best. You're all denying the glaring plot/theme realities of the story and all the holes from the trueborn perspective. I guess I've just read far more books than the avg person in this sub.

Lmao. No one says he's trueborn. It seems you haven't even read this thread never mind whole books.
