Ah yes the old "traumatize the homosexuality out of the kid" trick. How'd that go? Oh Prussia happened, yeah not so great huh. At least the world got Berlin out of it

I mean, Prussia under Frederick the Great was a golden age, and he was affectionately known as 'Der Alte Fritz' ('Old Fritz') by the common people.

Definitely didn't succeed in traumatizing the homosexuality out of the kid, considering his court was infamously gay
