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

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 months ago

Makes sense

[–] DessertStorms@kbin.social 8 points 6 months ago (2 children)

How about instead just abolish the monarchy..

[–] germanatlas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

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

What about force-felinezation?

[–] kittykittycatboys@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

tjis is more acceptable but consent matters a lots mrow

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 2 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.

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 (1 children)

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) (1 children)

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

I think we're talking past each other.

[–] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

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

[–] SeattleRain@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Why are Americans so obsessed with emasculating men?

[–] BigFatNips@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] SeattleRain@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

No Gods, no masters.

[–] veneficium@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 months ago

Yoo it's Foone! I love her blog!

[–] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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 2 points 6 months ago

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

No middle ground.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 points 6 months ago

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

A lot.

[–] Flummoxed@lemmy.world 1 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.

[–] knightly@pawb.social 0 points 6 months ago

foone is such a charachter. Absolutely a worthwhile follow.
