    It’s so freaking weird that in 2025 we still have these inbred families we’re supposed to believe are better than all of us and we should worship them because, reasons. And even worse, there are a bunch of people who like having a family of useless people to worship and will continue to defend monarchy

    People are surprised monarchs are rapists. Centuries of inbreeding do not produce healthy minds.

      Generational wealth and power, does not produce healthy minds.

      The inbreeding was a side effect of an already broken system.

      Immediately thought this, but there’s something worse about him (which makes sense, since Eddie is a character played by an actor who, I’m guessing, isn’t actually a vile and pathetic person).

      Thus suffers from the same problem “Adolescence” did; the writing and role is believable enough and the actor looks like they could be as despicable… but then you somehow don’t believe the actor to be that big of a cunt.

      Joffrey doesn’t suffer from that, Jack Gleeson is such a brilliant actor I never doubted he could be such a massive cunt. But I know he isn’t. But he made me believe it.

      Like Eddie and the kid in Adolescence both have too much humanity showing through.

      Keep in mind he is literally a child of the unprivileged commoners, so poking at his origins or genetics is not “punching up”. His mom is from a lower class family with drug and alcohol abuse problems, and she had him before meeting the prince.

      Just poke at his personality or actions. There’s plenty there.
