If you don't believe the Sussex children are real....

[SleepingStandingUp]

... can you explain it to me? So many comments on media articles etc saying oh it's because the kdis aren't theirs, they're actors, they have no kids, they just rent them for photos.

Archie was born in England, the Royal family met him, she was photographed with a tiny baby.
Do you think it was a doll or someone was paid to hand over their baby for a photo?
Who are these people who rent our their kids for photos? Why don't they sell their exclusive story for millions?
Why has no one around her, or where the kids reportedly educated, done the same?
What happens when the "kids" become adults and can't reasonably be kept out of sight? Will they "kill" them off, come clean or adopt a couple of fake actors to play the role?

No I don't, but I have friends that do. It's not unheard of or extremely rare. Genes are funny things.

It doesn't bother me. I'm fascinated by online hate.

This thread has bothered the haters of H&M though. They've made multiple attempts to have it deleted.😬

You've used the term "hate" and "haters".
If you see any hate - do as I do and report it, because it's against talk guidelines. However, if you are using the term "hate" for criticism of disagreement, or even just questioning, then it's just a normal part of discussion.
It's not a problem.
See the one currently criticising William. Do you think it's filled with "hate" (sic), or is it just a robust discussion?.

This is a thread asking people to speculate about children. You don’t need to either love or hate the Sussexes to find that reprehensible. Why do you want the thread to stand? Do you get pleasure from
a discussion about innocent children and the circumstances of their birth?

Unless you are a mod, how would you know “haters” have made multiple attempts to get it deleted? And if that is the case, does that not show up the “lovers” of H&M for not complaining? Aren’t they quite the hypocrites for starting, participating in and perpetuating a discussion that must distress the Sussexes?

Yes, it's interesting to see who is arguing for the thread to stand.

Yes, and to wonder why 🤔

This is a thread asking people to speculate about children.

No it isn't. It's a thread addressing Sussex conspiracy theorists.

Talking about conspiracy theorists is speculating about the children, it's bound to be! How can it not?
There's been more than one poster more or less saying she didn't have her children speculating about surrogates and more
This is a parenting forum FFS!

Horrible. They have two little children and to use them as a weapon to have a dig at their parents....well, you need to look to yourselves, really you do

I think you need to go back and have another look at the thread title and opening post.

Who are you talking to?
Haven't most people on this thread condemned the speculation and called it a wild and unsubstantiated conspiracy theory?
There are only two posters, that I have seen, that have given any credibility to this nonsense.
So direct your ire at them.

Which most of us have condemned.
An inconvenient truth.

What do you think the conspiracy theorists are going to say in response? They are going to talk about the circumstances of the children’s births, of course.

Not this same old chestnut ? 🙄

I hope you have asked for this thread to be deleted.

Yes tag the posters who have made these claims and tell them off directly, don’t try to tar everyone with the same brush.

Ah you know what I mean then 😉

Quite!

The title addresses people who don't believe the Sussex children are real. It's clear @SleepingStandingUp does not subscribe to that theory as outlined in her OP.

No. It asks a question... "Can you explain it to me". Most of us do not buy into these fanciful conspiracy theories, and that has been made clear. One or two posters do believe it, and have been vigorously challenged.
So, it's actually been very reasonable and logical.

It’s conspiracy theories specifically relating to their children.

I’m unclear as to whether you are ok with that or not?

Have you read the OP's points about it?
I don't think you have....

That was for @TooBigForMyBoots

So what do you think people who don’t believe the Sussex children are real are going to say in response to the OP’s question, “Can you explain it to me?” The OP is patently inviting disgusting comments about the children, and is even providing conspiracy theorists’ talking points in the OP as a prompt. The OP might not subscribe to them, but it’s not preventing her from wanting other people to, clearly. And it’s disgraceful, as is anyone who supports her little Q&A thread.

It's no different to If you think the moonlandings were faked / earth is flat threads. And no one has to respond. @SleepingStandingUp is addressing people who believe this shit or are interested in people who believe this shit.

If that's not you, give the thread a swerve, instead of calling for the deletion of a thread others are interested in.🤷‍♀️

You don't instruct people to "give the thread a swerve"?!
Perhaps people want to comment or respond to comments! That's the point of threads!
