 If it was as simple as you say, than you would be right. But it isn't. He did not invent the throne and the hat yesterday. This was built up over milleniums. So he is normal, not weird for wearing that. Therefore his looks and clothes are the least important topic. And you should not bring up least important topics before the important topics are resolved. And if you do that, it means you are deverting the discussion, and that means acting sneaky. I know you may have had no such intentions, but I am just saying, whether intentionally or not, you are playing into the hands of communists.
