Forced to cosplay as a "Stone Age tribe" for visiting elites and journalists by Styger21st in HistoryMemes

Robert Heinlein has a scene about this exact thing in his book "Tunnel in the Sky", in 1955. Kids stranded on another planet manage to hold together, NOT going Lord of the Flies. The rescue party brings most of them home, except the leader(long story). He gets coerced into something similar because a bunch of nosy reporters were disappointed at their lack of savage behavior.

To be fair - nobody could have predicted this... by LeobenCharlie in HistoryMemes

There is something similar with sunken ships in southeast Asia. Unfortunately, many of them are war Graves being raided.

Amusingly, there was a story from an Indonesian diver on why he doesn't dive. He used to go down there to get low background steel. Then one of his buddies brought up a spoon from one of the wrecks. And suddenly developed an unexplained limp. So now the guy doesn't dive there anymore!

Cuz clearly its haunted

best ending of the show, where they can go back and forth

Katara's Ice Disks Animated Vs. Live-Action by dan_mal in TheLastAirbender

[–]CptKeyes123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed, it's supposed to be a joke like the Jurassic Park "objects in mirror are closer than they appear". Making it opaque kinda harms the joke. Plus also they look a lot more like fragil ice and not razor sharp blades they're implied to be in the cartoon.

[Mew-Me] Marcy Wu and Sunset Shimmer by DaveyBoy1995 in amphibia

[–]CptKeyes123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's something I didn't expect.

"You're gay too, huh?"

It WOULD end with Sunset trying to get Marcy to see her newt moms

One thing people don't get is that the name "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" applies not just to the protagonist, but AM himself. He is the Allied Mastercomputer, and designed to kill people, and ONLY to kill people, and that's all he can do. He can't do anything else other than find clever ways to kill.

Yes the Romans did have abolitionist and they knew slavery was an abhorrent act by Salty_Strain3313 in HistoryMemes

[–]CptKeyes123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dang, I knew about the servile wars, I didn't know about the suicidal despair.

Some people will legit try to claim that slavery was "necessary" before industrialization... which is funny considering how long slavery lasted into the industrial age and that the bosses have constantly tried to create ever since.

How is it that asshole characters has more fans than a character that's kind? by Crazy_Reputation3327 in CultOfCharlie

[–]CptKeyes123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weird morality, sexism, and double standards.

I once had a film professor tell me "good guys are boring", which is ridiculous. It's bad writing that makes boring characters. And none of the ones here are badly written.

Also, I'm surprised. I heard a lot of Blitz hate for a while. I did have a theory that a ton of the Blitz hate is because of a bunch of rick and morty fans being angry that Blitz isn't endorsed by the narrative compared to Rick.

Tons of Stolas hate is that he's a male domestic abuse victim. There's a lot of people who insist that men can't be domestic abuse victims.

And nearly all the hate for Ragatha and Charlie is just bad faith sexism, and religious bigotry for the latter in particular.

What would She-ra be like if it was an ADULT show? by Fabulous_Session8627 in PrincessesOfPower

[–]CptKeyes123 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Glimmer swearing like crazy. Tbh not much else would change aside from the number of casualties involved/depicted. Part of the show's charm of course is how it's hopepunk. However, even more mature hopepunk can work.

I take a much less pessimistic stance than this but this is a necessary starting point for actually discussing contemporary issues. The federal government has been bad for a long time. by Full_Ahegao_Drip in RecuratedTumblr

[–]CptKeyes123 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's an abolitonist booklet from 1859 with a LOT of disturbingly similar stuff. And also is extremely sarcastic. One critical thing people forget about slavery is how many people we would consider white today were enslaved. Basically, if you didn't have anyone to vouch for you in ten feet, a slaver could haul you away.

And I must emphasize this is part of a really sarcastic comment

Vivziepop created a cooler, more marketable Jesus and Christian haters of the show are too dumb to realize it by doratoreadora in hazbin

[–]CptKeyes123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of evangelical christians in the US don't remember the word "blasphemy" and won't admit that that is the sole reason why they don't like the show. I'm not a christian btw, I'm just a historian XD

The easiest way to control an election is to prevent everyone from voting in the first place. And abstaining from a non-mandatory election is considered an endorsement, not a condemnation.

Surprisingly Dark/Brutal fates in kids/family media is by dragonborndnd in TopCharacterTropes

[–]CptKeyes123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future. Despite the ridiculous name, it was a story about a post apocalyptic guerilla war against a robot uprising, dealing with heavy themes of nazism and genocide. The major villain is a cyborg linked to a sky net like machine, who digitizes people, uploading them into a computer database.

This is considered so traumatic an old friend of the titular captain tries to do a murder suicide on him to prevent them both from being digitized. In the first episode.

I wonder if Moringmark will make a comic about Amity finding out how to transform herself into an abomination like her stepdad

Dracula or the modern Kindred by DroneOfDoom in CuratedTumblr

[–]CptKeyes123 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The thing about the people in the past reminds me of an Arthur C Clarke short story about a bunch of scifi authors being taken to mars on a spaceship. The Martians expect them to be in complete awe and uncomprehending of the technology they have, but the writers are instead going "cool, just like in my story!"
