As someone who studies kingship and the idea of rulers to my fellow scholars who also study this stuff: why this incessant and persistent twee woobification of kings and queens?

oh I read the thread now I get it. yes, they all super suck and it’s ok to say that. some are definitely more interesting than others but that’s because we ourselves are interested in certain aspects of politics/ religion/ etc. in our own work

Sure, and there are certain rulers that I find more interesting myself. But I don’t “like” them as if I thought they were actually cool dudes or whatever. But there are definitely people out there who DO think that.

I think there's a thread (prominent on the right but not exclusive to them) that thinks that the Humanities are for "pleasure" - that you have to identify with the things you study. it's weird to me.
