my CK3 playing brain went straight to "that's a lot of murders to get the right one on the throne"

[-] itslilith 3 points 6 months ago

My first thought as well

[-] DessertStorms@kbin.social 53 points 6 months ago

How about instead just abolish the monarchy..

[-] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

Finally a good fucking comment in this thread

Frankly, I don't like your cavalier attitude

[-] germanatlas 12 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Turn them into TV celebrities. Keeping up with the Windsors. That way brits can have a full democracy and monarchists can continue with their weird obsession

i dont comfy w forcefem jokes meows

[-] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

What about force-felinezation?

[-] kittykittycatboys 11 points 6 months ago

tjis is more acceptable but consent matters a lots mrow

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 7 points 6 months ago

consent matters a lots

Well I don't consent to having a Head of State who's only achievement is being born to some spoilt bitch who herself was only notable for having been born to some earlier rich dickhead. I don't consent to my Head of State not even being a citizen or a resident of my country and in fact hasn't been to my country in over half a decade and for a total of less than one season. I don't consent to a foreign rich dickhead having the power to unilaterally overthrow my country's democratically elected government—a power his institution has used in his name in living memory.

[-] kittykittycatboys 6 points 6 months ago

these two things not the same, an removing someone from societal power is not same as violating tjem

[-] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 31 points 6 months ago

The UK had Thatcher, experienced decades of decline, and left the EU under Queen Elizabeth. It's not that things are suddenly worse under Charlie; they've been getting continually worse for a long time.

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

And had another female PM for like a week, at which point Liz died.

No middle ground.

[-] 10_0@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 months ago

Speaking like the royal family get a choice in what Parliament does or has the people vote on

[-] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 months ago

They only "officially" dont, but in fact they wield a huge amount of power over the government, there have been several scandals about it in recent years

[-] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Even more of a reason the conversation is moot

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 27 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I wasn't aware that forcefem was a word. That seems problematic lol

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 7 points 6 months ago

It's a fetish thing. I don't think it really happens....

A lot.

[-] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 18 points 6 months ago

Ah, so this was the perfidious trans agenda. Ensuring the continued existence of the monarchy. Disgusting. /s

[-] knightly@pawb.social 12 points 6 months ago

foone is such a charachter. Absolutely a worthwhile follow.

[-] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 months ago

No Gods, no masters.

[-] Flummoxed@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Maybe if they got really good at Queen or Elton John songs the British might rally? However, the gayness of these awesome performers may be a requirement. Not all Queens are gay?

Just imagine it a moment: King Charles performing Freddy Mercury at Live Aid, back in the stadium, one night only. Then he fades to black.

Big Man-theory shouldn't be recycled with differential feminism.

Monarchies (even constitutional monarchies) should be abolished (yes, despite supposed 'tourism value') and in the meantime not be applauded or sensationalised.

[-] aBundleOfFerrets@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

Erm but if there was no queen of england then that line in Megamind wouldn’t make funny?!

[-] SeattleRain@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Why are Americans so obsessed with emasculating men?

[-] BigFatNips@sh.itjust.works 12 points 6 months ago

You're on the wrong instance if that's your take lmfao

[-] SeattleRain@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

If the genders were reversed you'd think it's weird.

[-] Liz@midwest.social 8 points 6 months ago

It's funny because it's weird. Normally you would expect that masculine traits would be argued for I'm a leader, so to straight-face claim the male leader needs to be made feminine is a funny inversion of social and gender roles.

It's basically the reverse of that comedy where The Rock is the tooth fairy.

[-] RoosterBoy@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

But if someone makes a joke about forcing someone to be cisgender all hell breaks loose. Sounds like equality still isn't here.

[-] UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 months ago

Because it's a known issue people kill themselves over... Seems quite evident I'm surprised you didn't see it.

[-] RoosterBoy@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

And someone WOULDN'T kill themselves if they were forced to be cis and wanted to be trans? I got news for you, pal.

[-] UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago

I think we're talking past each other.

[-] veneficium 3 points 6 months ago

Yoo it's Foone! I love her blog!

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

Very relevant Philosophy Tube video.

Might look different than you expect if you're a recent fan.
