A few takeaways: 1.Hans Christian Anderson is the goat of children’s stories. 2.It’s really amazing how humans never learn. We have the same problems as we’ve always had. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. 3. I’m glad he changed the ending. 4. Finally what would you have done in the story? Lied? Spoken up? Personally, I’d like to think I’d have spoken up but I probably would have lied just like the rest.

I would've said something along the likes of, "Is this behavior normal for royals, or is this a custom of pageantry unique to this town?" I would word it in this way in the hopes that I'm plainly eluding to it in as polite a manner as possible and hopefully spare the Emperor from some small measure of embarrassment.

A literal animal that had intelligence and talent far outreaching the majority of the humans in his kingdom could, in no way, possibly be foolish.

This story reminds me of the time I was driving down the road in a high end neighbourhood in our city. I saw an obviously rich girl walking towards the mall in the area dressed in the most expensive levis you can get, donned with an equally expensive blouse finished with a Gucci bag and long blonde hair. I had to giggle. People are pre-conditioned by the media on how they should look and which brands they should wear to achieve a high level of beauty and to prove social status. Because we are so constantly bombarded with these images we lose the plot. This girl despite all this high end grooming had only managed to look very ordinary. When my son was growing up I refused to buy him any Nike or Addis products because in our more dangerous suburbs every gangster wore these brands. These major brands have only managed to rob people of their identify. But having said that I will say that I have found that if I do purchase clothes I am willing to pay a little more for good quality clothes preferably in a style which is basic and does not age. You can always dress such a style up and down according to your needs. Like you have said if you can wear it going to work and then maybe with the addition of maybe a jacket or a change of shoes go out to a restaurant or another special venue in the same basics it is a good choice.

To ask, were the weavers really the villains here? I mean, the Emperor didn't help his country grow. Only his wardrobe. He was foolish, ignorant, and vain. It would be no wonder that someone would expose his foolishness. Rather, he should be grateful that it wasn't warlords or an angry mob that came knocking rather than just a pair of basic swindlers.

Was I the only one who thought of Panic! At The Disco when I read the title? Edit: I'm gonna sound like an idiot here, but was _The Emperor's New Clothes_ by Panic! At The Disco inspired by _The Emperor's New Clothes_ by Hans Christian Anderson? I just realized the song might've been inspired by the fable because of the lyric: "I'm all dressed up and naked"

I now understand the lyrics from Hamilton: "the Emporer has no clothes" great commentary!

This story reminds me of our society today, 🤔🤨🙏🏾 People just make up things & Everyone is afraid of being cancelled if they don't go along 🤨🤔🔥🔥🔥🤷🏾

I would like to see you do a messed up origins of the Sandman cause in some stories he's good and helpful but in others he's cruel and devilish in some ways. (Or so I've heard) example the song Enter Sandman (Metallica), since the Emperor's New Clothes is a Panic At The Disco song too I thought it would fit perfectly together.

What

[@witchhunt5781]

Good on you calling out the stupidity, ignorance that is happening nowadays. I don't remember before all this (democratic stupidity/ignorance) the divide if racism. It wasn't so in my face or I didn't see it. Now I am reminded of it every day. I see the divide now in how people see me...white white. But in reality my father's line there is black german and my mother's side I have Cheyenne plus everything in-between. My sister was dark and I was white. People didn't think we were sisters. Likewise my childrens skin is darker. So thanks Democrats I feel like an outcast yet again. I am do over their hatefulness of people's differences when we should be able to love our differences because each one if us are unique and beautiful. If we are all the same thus world would be dull, boring, and just plain sad. I love the different shades of skin color, the uniqueness of our eyes and noses, the richness of ethnic foods. I hope that Democrats fail in canceling our culture, heritage, where our ancestors came from...

Yes, the Emperor's New Groove has nothing to do with the Emperor's New Clothes. But the Emperor's New Groove is loosely based on How Stella Got Her Groove Back. Fight me.
