Every change to the book in this episode whitewashes the Blacks or vilifies the Greens, and I checked

So I started rereading the book, going bit by bit after each episode to compare the stories, and it's actually crazy how every single divergence is in the service of the Blacks' image. I made a whole list after just 3 pages, and that's without even getting into things which are mentioned later on but which the show covers already, like Aegon's story. At this point, the book talks only about two areas:

In King's Landing:

• Rhaenyra has Orwyle thrown to the dungeons and overrides the Citadel appointing Gerardys as Grand Maester - this is mean and self-centered, so we can't have her do it.

• She names Lord Celtigar Master of Coin, who taxes everything, procuring gold but enfuriating the common people - but in the show, Daemon gets gold from the Vale, and Rhaenyra gives it to the smallfolk, because she's a socialist icon instead of a grasping and vindictive aristocrat.

• She plans a lavish celebration for naming Joffrey her new heir - but again, we can't have her act selfishly while the poor are starving.

• Iron Throne cuts her - apparently that's Maester propaganda. Even though the Maester at that time was Gerardys, her loyalist.

• Mysaria never officialy sits the small council - but show Rhaenyra is a valiant feminist, so she raises her up to the title of Mistress of Whisperers

• Rhaenyra gives Daemon her blessing to cuck her with Mysaria - but in the show, we're making them a faithful power couple

• Rhaena remains a ward of house Arryn - apparently we "have enough common people riding dragons," so Nettles' story showing that maybe magic blood isn't all that important can be disregarder for the sake of Targaryen glorification

In the Reach:

• Ormund clearly has no issue with using dragons because he knights Daeron the Daring after Tessarion secures their victory

• He goes on to besiege Longtable - there's no "holding Tumbleton hostage." When it yields, he leaves them unharmed, but strips the castle of wealth and food and marches on to Bitterbridge.

• There's a refugee camp there, and Lady Caswell, a black loyalist, refuses to house anybody in her castle.

• Ser Rickard Thorne appears there with baby Maelor (younger son of Aegon II), cleans a stable to have shelter there; their identity is discovered, Rhaenyra's men shoot him down with crossbows and the baby ends up dead. Lady Caswell sends its head to KL.

Also in the Westerlands Dalton Greyjoy keeps brutally raiding in Rhaenyra's name.

At this point, the show has nothing to do with anything George would have written. The Dance was never "one good side against one bad side," it was a bunch of incestuous aristocrats bleeding and burning an entire continent in a squabble for power. It had elements of commentary on patriarchal inequity, obviously, but it was never "women vs men" - it was just people, of various character, both good and bad, on all sides, and they were INTERESTING. This, on the other hand, is just cartoonish.
