    Kinda wish he did succeed, but in the end it’s just “Guy uses sex chatbot to convince himself it would be manly to kill the queen” as @RedditWanderer@lemmy.world elucidated.

    Not to mention the massacre was not anything to do with Her Authoritarianness anyway. It would have really solidified 2020 as the year of wtf.

      I think it’s better this didn’t happen because it could brought more attention and even grieve to all this rotten family, while it’s no problem to replace one monarch with another. If something, I wish they could’ve became just a tourist attraction stripped of their wealth and property, playing their role just like Lenin impersonators on the Red square. £1000 and Her Majesty would visit your bithday party, +£500 and she’d make you a knight. Drive it down to theme park’s fanservice, equal to Doctor Who, Sherlock Holmes and Harry Potter. It’d hurt it more than a stray arrow killing just one head of this hydra.
