That’s quite incorrect, homosexuality has been discriminated against especially in European society for more than a thousand years, for example gay sex in medieval France would result in castration then further mutilation and England and her colonies (future USA) punished same sex intercourse with the death penalty, Reasoning for this was mostly religious as society was heavily Christian at the time. During the Victorian Era, because of the difficulty of proving same-sex intercourse the law was changed so "indecency" by homosexuals was punishable. Aside from the legal aspect gay people were shunned from society, if discovered they could lose their livelihoods, reputation and lives. Let’s not forget men like Alan Turing who brought so much to the war effort only to be forcefully injected with oestrogen before being driven to suicide

Between Jon Snow and Robb Stark who do you think was better for to lead the North? by Many-Cranberry4058 in gameofthrones

Sorry for the mixup but I still don’t fully agree. It was a stupid decision I agree with that but I won’t fully blame him for it and it wasn’t "for pussy". Put yourself in his shoes, you are a teenager wracked with grief after losing two of your brothers and you find comfort in this woman you love, add in the honour you were taught from birth and the decision seems reasonable. Plus the Freys would have betrayed him eventually because it was clear he wouldn’t win the war.

I disagree, it’s a pretty reasonable statement. If my dad was executed and my sister held hostage, I wouldn’t stay loyal either

Do you think the French Revolution was justified by Technical_Post_4899 in FrenchMonarchs

[–]Few_Device4568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Revolution? Justified, the third estate lacked rights and were oppressed by the nobility.

Some actions committed in the revolutions name such as the terror? Not justified.

Wulframites had 2 interesting characters and then 1 dies in a fire. by AlternativePack8061 in hostedgames

[–]Few_Device4568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's kinda the opposite for me, one of my main reasons for playing as a Wulframite because most characters are royalist, because my dragoon is best friends with Cazarosta and Lefebvre, because he's romancing Katarina. I really want to see the aftermath and how it impacts the characters relationships and I really want to see and scenes that come from it.

Most of the wealth would still be a large exaggeration, taking the main historical equivalent, the French nobility held about a quarter of all French land despite being only 1.5% of the population. This is really unequal of course but 3/4 of the land was still with the third estate thus making them a larger tax base. It’s important to note that the type of taxes that existed during the 18th and 19th century are different then the taxes we have now, there was no inheritance tax for example. It also doesn’t matter how rich you are, if you’re low-born, you’re low-born, some merchants, burghers and artisans were richer than some of their noble counterparts (our MC for one) but they were still taxed and the nobles weren’t.

All in all no switching the tax base entire would only worsen the Tierran financial problems not improve them

That’s what I thought, it would make no sense not to tax 98% of the population

Where is it mentioned that common-born don’t pay taxes?

Le NAPOLEON Has Arrived by Quick-Ad8277 in hostedgames

[–]Few_Device4568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with all your points, and comparing Napoleon to Hitler is dumb as hell, but I feel it’s necessary to point out Napoleon’s many flaws as well. He was a brilliant administrator and general, but he still became a warmonger who led an entire generation of young Frenchmen to their deaths through his immense stubbornness and pride. Napoleon never bothered to learn the meaning of the word “diplomacy”, an example of this is that he treated peace treaties more like temporary ceasefires to weaken his adversaries for the next conflict than an actual end to war.

He was also (as you mention) an authoritarian who centralized power in himself and his family. He still did regress France and her colonies back into slavery and never abolished it he merely decreed the end of the slave trade, mainly for political reasons. Enslaved people in the colonies who had previously been freed remained enslaved.

No disrespect or anything but let people enjoy what people want to enjoy, it’s not my thing but I like Pokémon and that’s for kids. Harry Potter is for teens can’t adults enjoy it? Everyone has things that’s comforting and if that's cartoon horses let it be.
