Contempt for protocols is excellent behaviour in my point of view

Which bit? I’m just thinking of overheard conversations and stuff. Much like you get a sense of what the covidiots are saying.
Or are you talking about the Prince George thing? In which case I have no idea.

Why gay men love this photo of Prince George looking fabulous
It's not about sexuality, but resisting repressive ideas about what masculinity should be.

Your average Royalist doesn’t take this view.

Messy Crimbobs, fellow humans.
It was the second part of the question I was interested in primarily in this post. I interpreted your focus solely on the first part as an attempt to avoid the second part. I apologise if that was not what you were doing.
In all honesty, - and I also apologise if this is not the case - I further interpreted this as an attempt to disguise some sort of an ideological agenda informed by these new theories in academia which shift definitions around, seemingly in an attempt to manipulate those not versed in the lingo.
I guess it’s a paranoia of mine born from a distrust of academics, and unfortunately the culture at large is infused by these theories.

As a kid I think I might have done similar, wanting to put my fingers in my ears due to the noise of the helicopter, but wanting to avoid getting teased.

I'm not an academic though . I have two degrees because my interests took me there in very different ways.I use the words black and white in lowercase or uppercase depending on the reason I am using them. If I am describing someone's 'racial' background I use it as a active descriptor and uppercase. If I am using them to describe objects, as a passive adjective, then use lowercase.
Is there a political/social significance to that? Yes of course but only because people are more important and influenced by them, and so those descriptors are more meaningful/complex than when speaking about objects.
I don't think about it much tbh and I certainly am not deliberately avoiding telling you that.
Agenda? Well yeah my 'agenda' is to care more and be aware of the experiences and complexities of people rather than of objects.
That's not being theoretical, that's having an opinion.

Fair enough. I accept that wasn’t what you were doing.
Although I’m still still not sure I understand the distinction between what you call active descriptors and passive adjectives. I’ve always just used capitalisation for either names or specific concepts, rather than to signify the value of a thing being described. Maybe that’s just me.
But like I say, I accept you weren’t trying to hide anything, so this is just me musing out loud.

In this regard/conversation I think these are the same things. We are applying values to specific names and concepts.

The "all I see is a beautiful woman" line makes it even worse. A bit close to "Well, yeah I suppose she is black but, so long as they're bangable, you don't really think about it, do you?"
Yep me too. I mean, I wouldn't know what she looks like anyway but avoid royal stories and only clocked when a year or 2 back, read on here or maybe heard on radio there may be some racism in the media treatment of her. I thought it was just the regular lickspittle snobbery before that.
I did that too
We didn't even get a bank holiday for that one IIRC. The other one a warm spring day, if I recall, I obviously just went down the pub, which fortunately did not have it on TV.
Reminds me, apparently aged 3 or 4, at a ferry terminal, (we were going to the Isle of Wight) I saw a black guy with dreds and much to the embarrassment of my parents said quite loud. Why does that man look like a dog. It wasn't cos he was black, there would have been some black kids at playschool, but I'd never seen dreds before...

I’ve always highlighted curtsying as a particularly poignant example of why monarchies are odious concepts. But at least most Royal Houses in Europe have the decency to pay scant attention or do away altogether with commoners curtsying monarchs when meeting them in public.
it doesn’t make them alright or acceptable, but at least you can regularly see monarchs across Europe casually greeting people outside formal diplomatic events with an ordinary handshake or even two kisses on the cheek, as any normal human being would do.
That would be an unthinkable outrage if it happened here, of course. But I’m watching the interview now, and apparently Meghan (as well any other Royals I guess) are expected to curtsy before Brenda. Her own fucking family.
What the actual fuck?

If you are trapped in a royal family, there’s numbers you can call at the bottom of the screen and on our website.

I also hate the addressing thing - I even refuse to call councillors by their title - fuck deference

I 'met' a minor royal once but I didn't address them as HRH or whatever, I just screamed 'parasite' and then got threatened with arrest

When i had to deal with councillors regularly I was careful to always refer to them as members...

Are you sure they were a minor royal or were they someone on the tills at Asda?

they must hear "parasite" all the time. water off a ducks back to these cunts. a sign they are milking you properly. what you should have done is shouted "YOU KILLED MY HORSE!" . that would fuck with her head. i bet she would still be haunted by it now.
