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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Just FYI, he is the crown princess’s son, from before she was married to the crown prince. He isn’t part of the royal family or their blood line. He’s just a pos stain that won’t take responsibility for his actions or life. He’s a sad sad person.

Confirmed bastard in every sense then.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 40 minutes ago

... No? That is not how a bastard works. She married into the royal family but had a kid before. A bastard would be her having an affair and giving birth to a kid while married into the family already. Or the prince fathering a kid with someone else other than the wife. This is just "a kid from a previous marriage / relationship".

Generational wealth and power, does not produce healthy minds.

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

Dude looks like the personification if fetal alcohol syndrome.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Now that you mention, yeah, he does.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 hours ago

We call him Temu-Joffrey in Norway.

I was wondering what is Eddie Harrigan up to before season 2!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

He looks like that one jerkface kid Eddie from MobLand.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

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.

I know nothing about this guy aside from this headline but that checks out.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

It’s always the ones you suspected the most.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Basically irl Joffrey Baratheon

[–] [email protected] 7 points 15 hours ago

Based on the photo yes. The reality is a bit more nuanced and interesting if you ask me.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 16 hours ago

Guillotines bruh. For all royalty, including those elected.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 16 hours ago

Can monarchies die already

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Dude fuckin looks like Eddie from Mobland.

Acts like it too, apparently.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 17 hours ago

It's always the ones you most expect...

A monarchist abusing his position of power.

Who. Would've. Thunk.

[–] [email protected] 61 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

To be fair, he doesn't have a title or any official position of power. His mother already had him when she met and later married the crown prince of Norway. But everyone in Norway knows who he is and he's definitely very privileged, so he may have abused that fact..

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 hours ago

The royals are quite decent and cool. I'm in principle for getting rid of the monarchy, but this gang is so chill I'm ok with not making a fuss. Except for this shitstain. And the crown prince's sister. And her charlatan husband. In fact, only the hereditary bloodline is good. It's almost like some divine magic, or that they got all the good attention and the others have useless sibling syndrome.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Heh a royal patchwork family then. I guess as a non blood relative to the crown prince he wouldn't be in the line of succession?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago

Not at all, no. He's not part of the royal family.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 17 hours ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 58 points 16 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

What an absolute piece of shit, I hope his "rank" doesn't stop him from going to jail...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 hours ago

I hope it does. I'm trying to marry into royalty so I can have carte blanche to do whatever I want. Like eat pancakes for dinner. Or eat pancakes for lunch. Or have a second helping of pancakes for breakfast. Really, just more pancakes.
