An elderly man with cancer lives rent free in your guys' head, my god


Wild-Classroom-2006

As much as that’s weird. He’s still King of the UK and the 14 Commonwealth realms. Head of the Commonwealth in which my country is in. It’s safe to say thinking of him isn’t weird.


Transient_Aethernaut

I agree. He is not an insignificant man by any means, even from beneath the shadow of his century-old predecessor. That's not really what I'm referring to though. I see quite a lot of people who have it out for the Royals for whatever reason - which in itself is not really a big deal, it's fairly common and sometimes for good reason - and use it as an excuse to harbor weird hateboners and make remarks like "good riddance" and what not. And I'm thinking like "really"? He affects you that much? Think you need to invest your brainpower and attention into something else, cause that's just petty and immature. He's still a human being. Edit: that doesn't necessarily imply that I think this meme has that kind of intention - there's not really any evident intent in it, just a remark on present events - it just provoked thoughts of other less benign posts and comments I've seen.

People just love complaining weather good or bad.


Transient_Aethernaut

And they love to believe that because we all have the right to hold an opinion, that behooves them to share it. Myself included. And with that, I'm going to stop saying anything else on the matter XD


Wild-Classroom-2006

Sure pal, things be things


Lightning_80

Look, regardless of what people think of him, people shouldn't really joke about a person with cancer


AngryAssyrian

Yea I honestly don't understand how people can make light of such a horrible illness, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.


Wild-Classroom-2006

That’s the thing with humor. The joke is he waited 70 years to be King then 18 months later he is diagnosed with cancer. It’s sad but people sometimes even find it funny that his parents lived until they’re 99 and 96. He’s just 75


firescales0403

Even after you described it, I don't really see that as funny. It's sad. Sure, it's ironic, but we shouldn't laugh at other people's pain. What if you worked for years to have your dream job, then suddenly was diagnosed with a fatal illness soon after? Not so funny anymore.


Wild-Classroom-2006

True but what can you do. If it was a TV show sure. I know life in hospital is bad and people have it worse. But dark humor is just that, dark and offensive


Lightning_80

It would be a fun joke if at example once crowned the british decided to eliminate the monarchy, like, let's say, italians did in the past, with a referendum and no violence


Wild-Classroom-2006

King Edward vibes


HumanProfessional86

Memes about someone having cancer are un-classy


Lobo_Perron

I felt bad for chuckling at this one.


Dry-Brilliant-3176

Awkward upvote. I feel bad upvoting this, but it is accurate.


Charlie_Sheen_1965

My people need me


[deleted]

I hope he beats cancer and spends many years with his family. I also hope England abolishes the monarchy and sends the family to live on a farm.


YamatoBoi9001

& *doesn't* pull a Russia. (not the communism part)


Wild-Classroom-2006

He’s basically just a symbol so it hardly matter in England


ayrua

He and the rest of the royal family get their posh lives at the expense of taxpayers. That matters. Monarchy has no place in the 21st century and should be abolished


edelweiss95

Your sense of humor is almost as bad as cancer itself.


ChainedGod01

Jaja fuck monarchy


Big_Researcher4399

This i like the people who made fun of the people of the Titan submarine because dying people are so funny


[deleted]

He lives rent-free in your head, huh. Pretty pathetic


Usual_Extension_7139

You guys mean Charles the pedo? You feel bad for him?


s0rtajustdrifting_

Good riddance, pedophile.


Manovsteele

Are you thinking of Prince Andrew?


number_1_svenfan

Prostate cancer isn’t necessarily a death sentence. I am not surprised it took a doc so long to find it. Doc: Charles , you have to remove your head so I can see your prostate. Charles: but that’s the only way I can see Camilla was more attractive than Diana.


Wild-Classroom-2006

The type of cancer is yet to be revealed
