      Hey, their country their call. But I do find it hilarious that their desire to keep the lineage pure (despite not being the case) exceeds their desire to keep it male. I guess they’d rather adopt a stranger than allow a woman lol

      At this point, the Yamato imperial house is really just a sock puppet of whichever predator wants to abuse them. The Windors probably have more personal protections than the Yamato.

      Why would anyone want to be emperor? Aren’t you a bird locked up in a bird cage?

      If the royal family are not descendants of the sun goddess what’s their point?

      Imagine being so sexist they disregard actual royal bloodline for a random adoption.

      [“If Princess Aiko becomes the reigning empress and gets involved with a blue-eyed foreigner while studying abroad and marries him, their child may be the Emperor.”](https://apjjf.org/j-sean-curtin/1651/article)

      The most popular royal after the Emperor. His only child. This is how they treat their elite.

      These fucking dinosaurs are no better than the white american racial caste bullshit.

      Even Cambodian and Thai royals aren’t this craven, wanting to “appoint” a ruler with political ties to the dinosaurs ruining the country. And Aso is a racist motherfucker.

      Are they so focused on short term thinking they don’t realize this will cause less reverence and respect for the monarchy as a whole and might threaten it’s existence?

      If the royal bloodline doesn’t matter, why do any of them matter? They basically just admitted it’s all pretend lol They’re a relic of the past, let it go.
