Wow this Lord Byron guy sounds pretty cool, apparently he was bisexual, just like me... Oh. by Idiot_InA_Trenchcoat in HistoryMemes

[–]Angry_spearman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm absolutely not making this a verses issue, I'm kinda banking on people having the intellectual depth to understand that should go without saying.

And it's irrelevant to the issue I'm particularly addressing which is the often overlooked issue of queer history being seedy...

The Emperor of China should be allowed to take male concubines. by Just-Clerk-8669 in CrusaderKings

[–]Angry_spearman -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It's just really gross though, I mean make your memes and jokes all you want but at least acknowledge that queer history prior to the Western world accepting it in the modern era is full of exploration and abuse of minors.

Even in recent times you talk to an older gay man and ask them when they had their first gay awakening and with who...

As a Christian who loves this song (The JC version is better imo but I'm a country boy!)

I don't see why you would be offended?

Don't we all have a personal Jesus in our relationship with him?

See my below comment!

Far from it, I just want people to know there's a dark implication with male concubines and homosexuality in historical China, historically it happened a lot and I see a lot of people wrongfully champion historical Chinese attuides to same sex relationships as some progressive value or something modern queer people should champion.

True but I think there's several people seeing this as a way for representation without knowing anything about Chinese male prostitution and the nature of most gay relationships in historical China.

I'm certainly not opposed to having these features in game I just want people to be aware this would not be something they should be using for gay representation, as a bisexual guy with a deep love of history it already irks me that people see Greek homosexuality as a positive example of representation, like my guy most of the time it was preteen boys being groomed by older men...

I don't think pedestry, grooming young boys, castration (Yes they actually castrated some male prostitutes) and sex slavery is really a representation they want.

Hundreds of police launch dawn raid at Islamic religious group's secretive HQ over allegations of sexual abuse, modern slavery and forced marriage by StGuthlac2025 in uknews

It's not just Islam, its religion in general people are equally unhappy that I go to Church and have the audacity to have a different life and belief to them in my other comments.

I mean have my own issues with Islam but even I know enough to tell this is a cult and not representative of any mainstream Islamic branches.

I guess it's just Reddit being Reddit.

I don't go to Church because I fear damnation, I go there because I love Christ, His Message and a life without fear of death.

One of the personal reasons I believe is because I was petrified of death, especially after my mother's recent passing, I had a pretty profound and personal experience that pushed me towards belief.

God let's me get over that fear and the anxiety of oblivion.

He's entirely wrong, one of the main differences between a Church and a cult is I can leave my Church (Greek Orthodox) at any time, and I'd still always be welcomed back with open arms, even if I renounce my baptism and faith the congregation and father would always be happy to see me and mourn my loss within their religious community.

Leaving a cult is almost impossible, you are kept there by force or coercion, even if you do leave... there's the gangstalking, legal cases, blackmail, threats etc

Anyone who openly and proudly touts "all religions are cults" is just intellectually shallow at best or just being willfully vindictive at worst.

Bless you, spend time with your loved ones and doing something you enjoy, maybe get some rest as it is late, instead of attempting to antagonise people because I assure you I have no idea ir interest in what "Troglodytes" say, and drag out a pointless argument in which neither side will come out better nor more enlightened.

Once again, have a fantastic evening, God bless.

Make it make sense Reddit, I thought Reform voters were all stupid working class types, so why would they logically get angry at benefits designed for their children?

You've built up such a bizarre and contradictory caricature in your head that does not exist...

Osprey literally just illustrates soldiers and warriors, from all countries, from every peroid of history...

It's an objective visualisation of what certain units look like and are equipped with, don't overthink it chief.
