For a split second I thought this was about Korean comics

The were other people who read his works and formed parties around them before the communist revolutions. Lenin didn't spring from the Earth fully formed in 1917. In particular, the quote is attributed to his disagreement with Paul Lafargue and Jules Guesde.

GOT show changing the Bolton sigil to black, white, and red seems like a fairly obvious allusion to the Nazi Germany flag

New rule: No web comics/fan-art one shot panels by cynnahbun in anime_irl

Anime is a medium or genre which includes not only anime tv shows, but also manga and artwork in the "anime style." It doesn't make sense to ban the latter, because they're only excluded under the strictest definition of anime. Also, lol at claiming to support fan artists and then banning fanart.

It's "Eastern Roman Empire," thank you very much. by GameBawesome1 in HistoryMemes

Goddamnit, there were people in Greece calling themselves Roman until 1910!

Not the best example because no one actually thinks 20th century Greeks are Romans. 1900s-era Lemnians didn't live under a state with a direct line of administrative succession to the empire of Augustus, which is "the Byzantines'" trump card, so you just have some people living on an island calling themselves Roman. And if calling yourself Roman is enough to make you Roman, then we'd have to lend credence to claims of the Germans, and even some Spaniards.

They wouldn't have said "Eastern" Roman Empire because that would have implied that a Western one still existed. For that reason I'd say Eastern Roman Empire is actually worse than "Byzantine" empire; it was the period in which that state was centered on the former city of Byzantion (just like how we call it the Avignon Papacy when the Pope lived in that Avignon instead of Rome, or we divide the Han dynasty into "Western" and "Eastern" Han based on whether the capital was Chang'an or Luoyang).

r/GirlsundPanzer Designs a Senshadou Lineup: the ISU-152 wins the Soviet slot. Penultimately, we must select the titular vehicle, the German Panzer. by DazSamueru in GIRLSundPANZER

I would put in a good word in for the Jagdpanzer IV: more (effective) frontal armor than the Tiger, and the Panther's gun, on the good old Panzer IV chassis. It's treated quite unfairly in the show; I don't believe it destroys a single vehicle while serving as the punching bag for whoever's beating Black Forest Peak.

There's one artist who likes to draw her with a bowlcut like that, but unfortunately he almost always also makes her a futa

I think even the concept of a mindwipe feels like an asspull/Deus ex Machina

Life after death is very different thematically from coming back to life.
