TV Tropes has a very interesting thought about this - that the Fire Nation royal family had some sort of genetic mutation that had the males go insane at around a certain age.

Well...it made more sense how they wrote it, even though Iroh didn't seem to succumb to it, or was stopped somehow by the death of his son.

Well, TBH, Iroh was kind of messed up in his past even if we got good and wise Iroh by the time Aang was cracked out. He was writing with glee to his family about basically killing people and razing their homes to the ground in Zuko's flashback, and only realised how wrong it was when his own son died (it seems). I mean just because you're good to your own family doesn't make you a good PERSON. Of which Iroh certainly is a good example of this until, well it happened I guess and threw things into perspective for him.

Such a thing only wouldn't work on Ozai because he ultimately sees his children as tools at best to be discarded if they impede or unable to help him in his aspirations. So better than Ozai certainly but Iroh was still messed up probably from being home grown on all the propaganda or something.

Granted I'm not saying Iroh of the past was pure cackling evil, but good...? Nah. All he had was that he lacked that drive or desire to step on his own family and their hardships to make his own way.

also don't forget that azula went completely psycho and she's not a dude.

if you anything about the history of british royalty then you know they have a long line of people going completely batshit, and there's a lot of reasons for it. (which is also common for a lot of royalty apparently).

part of it has to do with incest and shit like using a lot of lead based makeup. so it's more than likely that coupled with being raised by psychotic people.

I wouldn't say the incest caused the European royal families to go crazy so much as their genes were fucked from the beginning and the incest increased the frequency of insanity. Most royal families also didn't raise their children themselves- Marie Antoinette, for example, barely knew her mother until she was in her teens.

Power corrupts more than genetics.

This.

Honestly, this is how most world leaders behave.

And once again, someone in tv tropes bends over backwards to look smarter than they are with a ridiculous theory.
