User blog comment:Looperreallyreallysucks/Pure Evil Removal - Cersei Lannister/@comment-1705775-20190917103736

she loved Joffrey and actually was planning on opposing some of his more batsh*t insane moments but couldn't control him - a good example is when she slapped him and he threatened to kill her for it, she also did NOT approve of Joffrey ordering certain executions etc..

while incestous her love for her brother is still genuine and goes beyond just sex - she was willing (for a short time) to negotiate somewhat with Tyrion and probably has other moments too.

compare that to absolute monsters like the Mountain and she fails to cut it.. the Mountain was one character I wanted to die continually.. yet the guy refused to do so.. which was frustrating as heck.. which shows how repulsive he is.
