    That’s cool, but if you feel like that, I also assume you’re not gonna waste your time being one of the people to make a bunch of conspiracy theories about inbreeding and spreading misinformation based on nothing.

    That is what I’m annoyed by. People are completely entitled to not care about royal families, but then if they do, they can also stay quiet and not start conspiracy theories based on ignorant lies.

      Well, there used to be a lot of cousins marrying cousins and such in European royal families, because Royals married Royals from other countries and over the generations pretty much everybody in Royal Families in Europe ended up being related in some way to everybody else, but I do hope the modern age with the end of arranged marriages and a much bigger tendency to marry outside the family has lessened if not outright eliminated that situation.

      That said, I was making what should be an obvious joke anchored on that little historical factoid about European Royal Families, which you seem to have taken seriously and somehow felt insulted by in the name of a person I doubt very much you have ever met.

        For someone who can’t be bothered to do two seconds of research about royal families, you sure have a lot to say about them.

          Are you disputing the historical factoid I pointed out, or are you doubling down on being insulted in the name of a person you’ve never personally met in your life?

            I’m just pointing out the fact that you seem very proud to have not fact checked what this specific story was about because royal family stuff is beneath you, yet you keep babbling about them. I just find that very interesting. We can talk about royal inbreeding all day, but the fact is still that you brought that shit up in a case that is about a guy who is not of royal blood, whose mother married into royalty and he is the one acting like a freak. Ergo, your lashing out against the royal family’s bloodline in this case is both stupid and uninformed.

                I care about the facts. Especially when they are all present in the article you couldn’t be bothered to read, yet still felt the need to comment incorrectly on.

                  So are you disputing the fact that historicallly European Royal families have had a lot of inbreeding due to Royals mainly marrying Royals, or that specific fact is not one you care about?
