But that was clearly not even a consideration by anyone, even though Grey Worm seemed to be the only person completely hating on Jon. They just chose to completely ignore Jon's right to the throne, and it didn't feel like the reasoning was supported by much of anything. The folks who urged Jon to murder Dany, like Tyrion, forgot all about that and instead called for Bran. Jon didn't say shit when he should have had at least an arguable claim to the throne, and everybody just ignores that and banishes him to the Wall. Thanks, bud. Kbye.

Didn't think that was poorly explained. If he is freed, danys loyalists would raise hell. If he is held captive, everyone else will raise hell. He may have earned the throne, but that doesn't mean danys loyalists would bend the knee. It would heighten division. Jon sacrificing status for the good of realm is very much in character, much less for a throne he never wanted.
