Since the pro-democracy protests of 2020, the call for monarchy reform and the repeal of the royal defamation law were followed by unprecedented discussions on the role of the monarchy, as well as the rise in number of prosecution under the royal defamation law.

Emerged during this time were ultra-royalist groups who have been filing royal defamation complaints against pro-democracy activists and netizens. They are often seen as laughing stocks, but they have made some wave with their campaigns.
