But that's not what the people of the realm are told. They are told 
that it has nothing to do with the person's fitness for the position 
at all. They are told that it is a direct attack on the nobility of the 
person.

"This is not about being bad, evil or even destructive to the 
realm, this is about the very birthright you, too, enjoy."

This is in direct opposition to the text the ruler is given when they 
exercise the option. That screen tells the ruler to do it when 
someone has abused their trusted position and the judge either 
can't or won't get rid of them for you.

This direct contradiction leads to a lot of problems. The ruler is 
just thinking "I'll strip their titles" but the people see "The ruler is 
claiming Sir Kepler is a peasant".

In this situation, both sides (ruler and realm) are perfectly correct, 
given the information they are provided. The problem is that they 
are given conflicting guidance.
