    People made these exact same arguments about the inclusion of a black samurai in an Assassin’s Creed game.

    A black samurai who was based on a real person who actually existed in history.

    The game they’re playing is very obvious to anyone who’s actually paying an ounce of attention, and it has nothing to do with caring about historical accuracy.

    It’s bullshit. It’s an excuse. It’s foolish. I do not suffer it gladly.

    That’s literally just a longer way of saying that it’s okay if it’s magic but it’s not okay if it’s black people.

    & yeah, I’ll hold my breath for people getting equally upset about white people in fiction. Any day now. I’m sure.

    I can’t disapprove a hypothetical, I guess, but a hypothetical isn’t proof of anything either.

    No. Fuckin stop it. Its unbearably stupid.

    Historical fiction has existed for a long time.

    Y’all ain’t out here throwing a pouty parade when someone adds technology or magic or monsters into historical fiction.

    But black people? Existing? If that’s where you draw the line, it’s really clear why. Make all the excuses you want.






  • Different person sticking their nose in, but I really respect what the Satanic Temple is doing. Like in general, but also specifically their stance that religion should not be ceded as the territory of superstition.

    Like it or not, religion is one of the fundamental building blocks of community. It provides gathering. At its best it encourages sharing, both of burdens and of blessings. Prayer is so often just meditation focused on helping one another.

    I was raised in Christianity, and I am downright resentful of so much of what they did to me. But god I miss the community. Kink is the closest thing I have found in secularism.

    No Satanic Temple near me unfortunately. I’d love to have something like that in my life.




  • Some women were given as property to some men, but before those men could claim them as property some other men murdered the women because they wouldn’t have sex.

    And then the Catholic Church was like yes, we must hold this woman up as an example because women are more valuable to us as rotting meat than as non-virgins, this is sane and normal.

    Uhhh… Is that about the gist?

    Because I don’t think this story is gonna make the list. 😂
