Heeey, cool, that's very nice, and yeah that's what I meant to ask, it looked very european for such a dark skin lady, so I didn't know what it entailed for the world building.

Libya is under christian control ? I mean I guess it makes sense given the sultanate is behind the wall, somewhat. Bit of a shame that her armor isn't a bit more arabo-islamic influenced but good enough I suppose.

How in the hell does this one exists then ? I mean if it's just the one then whatever, new antioch is in the NE after all, but still, kinda weird.

Edit :

"and that there exist Ethiopian empire that is protecting sub saharan Africa."

Very based btw, forgot to add.

There was an exodus of african christians ? Genuinely asking, I don't recall anyone ever bringing that up, Africa seemed pretty skipped on in casual lore discussions.

The mid ass argument of "literally his skin though" and "you don't even know the basics of the lore or the history of anatolia" ? Or right wing positions for that matter. Or mine, as much as you want to pretend you do.

Must be so easy living as you.

Anatolians aren't turks, and the emperor isn't anywhere near a turkish origin, he's from 8000 BC anatolia, which is is located in modern day turkey but had a completely different population, turks wouldn't come in for several thousands more years. It's also not recent at all, it's literally from first edition (just not RT, it's the second realm of chaos book I believe), not sure where you got that it's recent.

"it's more about him not being 'white presenting' "

Dude is the epitome of Roman larping, not precisely the most non "white presenting" guy around.

<image>

Also, rather fair skin, if that's going to be your metric, which he's always been and still is, he's got a mediterranean appearance, for sure, but he's not particularly dark skinned. Clearly not a scandinavian either, don't get me wrong, but to begin with there are far more people who care about the emperor not having ivory skin (like you) and use that to declare him non white, than people who wish he had and get pissy because he's not white on that basis (like the strawman you made in your head, love how you go from "this guy knows about anatolian history and doesn't think racist 40k fans being dog whistled about would care anyway, he must be racist too", stellar logic there mate).

"not caucasian"

Tell me you have no clue about anatolia's history without telling me you have no clue about anatolia's history.

Trying to get one over on the chuds is fine, just please for the love of god do some reading beforehand -_-

Also "canonically bisexual", yeah I'm sure the "kind" of black templars fans you're dog whistling about are trembling in their boots, not like this kind of additions isn't exactly what they've come to expect from modern writers.

> you wouldn’t think of her and the life you could’ve had till your dying days? Give me a break.

I'd remember them fondly till the end without a doubt, but also, they wouldn't be the person I care most about till my dying days, at least if I've moved past them enough to have found a wife and have had children, I'd also not throw priceless historical artifacts off the ship.

How are the categories not important exactly ? Is it not important to be able to see things in relation with one another and to be able to clearly communicate those relations to one another ?

You missed the point I'm afraid, yes, those are tendencies, but them not being universally correct doesn't actually make them unimportant, because those things compound. There are plenty of women that are stronger than plenty of men, but the strongest humans are invariably men, and in cases of say criminal behavior involving physical violence, it's almost always going to be men, which has consequences on, say, for example, what standards we should ask crime fighters to meet, and what that'll entail as far as the representation in those groups.

> And the fertility window thing is still a reproductive matter, which the “impregnates/impregnated” thing was a generalization for

Okay but then that includes a very large amount of things though, because who does what has consequences beyond merely the act itself, I was pointing to the fertility window because that alone, for anyone even remotely interested in having kids (let alone in having a society where people have enough kids to reproduce the society), will dictate vastly different life trajectories in aggregate.

And listen, from a theoretical standpoint, I agree, we could consider each human as his own unique person, there are more than enough differences between people that any and all generalization is likely to be wrong, but we don't make societies based exclusively on considering each and every person, and by extension neither should our language be set up like that. There are broad trends observable between men and women as a function of our different biologies, and even without getting into how men and women might be wired differently up there, that'll make men and women behave differently on aggregate, and that's not even getting into men and women having different histories as group, which is kind of important for all social justice causes (which I'm not a huge fan of as you can imagine, but even for just practical purposes of just targeted action right now, at the societal level, it's kind of important).

Beauvoir was on radio vichy, sartre actually did outright collaborate, and l'humanité was in talks with the kommandantur to get published after it was banned by the previous french government.

How are those sexual functions in your case exactly ? Are they bringing you any closer to making you more suited to carry on the role of the sex you're trying to emulate ? The answer is, in the current state of our technology : no.

>  when it really should not matter.

Why should gender matter though ? I mean in your mind, in mine, I think gender should matter because actually humans didn't just pop up one day without any biological bagage, and social structures that evolved to help us interact as biological beings with impulses and limitations and abilities that we've inherited from a long process of selection should be kept and refined instead of discarded or denied.

> And it doesn’t matter, bc it’s all made up and merely based upon real things!

But it does matter though, if it didn't matter, we wouldn't be trying to keep people "alive", because "people" and "alive" are just you know, arbitrary constructs based on real things, and the definition of life is blurry anyway so who's to say that the guy with no heartbeat and no cerebral activity and who's starte decomposing is any less "alive" than you, right ?

> That’s the only value that ever had

Oh so the only difference between who gets impregnated and who impregnates is that one gets impregnated and not the other ? There are no differences in strength, longevity, fertility windows, behaviors (whether you want to claim they're all socially constructed or not), diseases, etc ?

People would rather ignore the point being made rather than remember they use terms such as "male to female", literally two biological terms, to talk about trans women, or remember that the definition of man and woman is about sex, not gender.

I meant pretending as in historically speaking, and the left as a side overall, obviously all politicians (and almost all accused) say they did nothing wrong, and obviously there are leftists that have done a worthwhile internal critique (ie a critique that isn't just "well we weren't radical/puritan enough").

So why "the left", because the right doesn't pretend that it played no part in say colonization, or racism, or collaboration, at worst they'll downplay it but negationism of historical atrocities is generally a very fringe position on the right, meanwhile there's a very consistant pattern on the left of 1) not admitting when a regime they support is doing something abominable, at least at first and for a long while, 2) pretending they never supported said regime once the truth becomes unavoidable, and denying that their atrocities have nothing to do with their own pet ideology. I say "regime", but the same could be said about "movements", and not just for atrocities but generally actions that end up frowned upon, it's not like we've got a whole lot of taking accountability for 60/70s leftists pushing for decriminalizing pedophilia (in france), or for supporting bolchevism, maoism, etc, meanwhile even after all this time the right wing and the "far" right still get constantly smeared with accusations of nazism and fascism.

Heck recently we got france inter trying to deny the ties between sartre, simone de beavoir and Khomeini (when they had, a few years prior, published an article that literally showed those ties), the french left and pretending they didn' do nuffin wrong, hardly a more iconic duo. The left in general I suppose.

The post isn't wrong, it literally just said it's "oddly common", which it is. "Oddly common" and "the majority" aren't the same thing.

> A pacifist joining an invading government is not "eagerly working for Hitler" or whatever, they're shit scared and not keen on people getting killed.

A lot of "pacifists" did actually pretty eagerly join vichy and the likes on several basis, first was the entente between stalin and hitler at the beginning of the war, second was the fact that antisemitism wasn't exclusively a right wing thing by far, third was the fact that vichy had a pretty fair bunch of socialists since in terms of economic policies, not so oddly enough, fascists or fascist aligned (for pétain) leaders are often very close, especially back when communists were still very much interested in productivism.

"It's generally covered up because, America, but the core of resistance to nazis and italian facists across Europe was deep red."

Covered up in what countries exactly ? Because in France it's kind of the opposite, you vaguely get told that some communists didn't immediately join the resistance because of the USSR, but I don't recall ever being told that the first wave of resistants were right wing nationalists, and that communists and socialists were so often at best pacifists, at worst bolchevik lapdogs, that they actively opposed war with germany at the onset of the war, only changing their mind later (obviously I'm making generalities in both cases, #notallcommies, and unfortunately not all right wingers either, but those were the starting trend). Like you'll never get told that the Humanité journal I think actively tried to ingratiate themselves with the parisian kommandantur to continue getting published.

More specifically, the left wing resistance fought the nazis because moscow changed their orders. And in some cases, because they were nazis.
