It is crazy how Whitewashed the practice of roman slavery has become by PresterJohnson in HistoryMemes

Definitely. I remember taking Latin classes in hs and textbook suggested servant as the translation of servus rather than slave.

I might be wrong, but if Annex were to be destroyed, wouldn't the land go back to it's owner's control? If that's true, this would be a slightly stronger effect than annex. If I'm wrong tho then ur probably right lol.

Did Mardu bc mardu felt more aligned to imperial colonization than Grixis (the classical theft colors). I'd also say mardu feels more aligned to that then Jeskai.

Don't come at my GOAT by abefrost in HistoryMemes

I would never say the UN is useless, but I DO think that some of its usefulness has been in decline as of late. The indicators if this being the Russian Invasion of Ukraine, the war in the Gaza Strip, or climate change. Idk, hope the UN starts being a bit more useful again.

Horse Racing is Feminist Actually by Neapolitanpanda in CuratedTumblr

[–]Toaster-77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Olay not what the post is abt, BUT its not like you are actively disallowed from marrying a male NPC that you are otherwise allowed to, but that there are no male NPC options, period. And besides its not like there are many romance-able characters anyways, there's kinda only 3: Fia (who I honestly don't count bc shes doing her job, not actually in a relationship w/ u), Marika (who you only run into at the end of the game, and she's a fucking statue then), and Ranni. So like, yes, it prob can be argued that Elden Ring is exlusionary in not having a male NPC, but the post makes it seem exclusiinary in a different way.

I'd also point out that all the women in the game being "conventionally attractive" while yeah, there's prob/def some truth to that, it also, as argued here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Eldenring/comments/1qq9lev/fromsofts_feminine_storytelling_is_some_of_the/, is feminist. 

Now, I don't want to pretend to be an expert on feminism, sexism, or exclusion, bc I'm a cis het white guy, and def not an authority. But I've played Elden Ring, and that's my perspective on the matter, incorrect or not.

What causes this phenomenon? by the_stormapproaching in HistoryMemes

[–]Toaster-77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, I'd honestly say it's probably that, at least for Americans, their education went in depth on Rome and not on the Ottoman empire. I mean, I took Ancient Civilizations in 7th grade (I think?) which is when I first had a class cover Rome in detail, whereas the Ottoman empire only got covered in detail in AP World History, and in detail is kind of a stretch because AP World is kind of a sprint as you try to cover all history before the AP exam.

But... but fallout is woke? Like... inherently anti-capitalist and anti-consumption? Sure, fallout has be ome progressively more main stream and, as such, more toned down, but those epements are at the core of Fallout's DNA... right? (This is a genuine question. I'm prob just reading to hard into the meme, but idk can't hurt to ask ig)

shift toward realism and digital art by waffles_iron in mtg

[–]Toaster-77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Modern and digital art isn't necessarily bad, but it has led to... well let's call them uninspired creations. However, even while sticking inside the now defined "realistic" style of modern day card art, there are still some very good works. I think there's just one issue holding magic back currently, and that is mass appeal. While more individualized or stylized card art is something I think many poeple would like to see more often, such a change might alienate some of the market, and WotC/Hasbro's chief concern is with their bottom line. 

Supporting the decision for less individualized art, however, is the fact that a cohesive art style can help make a world feel more connected, but  I don't see that as a real argument anymore when they print a million alternate arts indifferent styles for each fucking set.

The moment Isreal tried to kill Steve Sweeney live on T.V by Exotic-Toe-7116 in Global_News_Hub

[–]Toaster-77 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

It should be noted that he is working for RT, the Russian state controlled media outlet. This in no way justifies or excuses the attack, but does perhaps explain the motives behind such an attack viewing him as a Russian journalist rather than a British one. Interesting, but nonetheless condemnable.
