“the mind of a medieval person was foreign and incomprehensible” factoid is false. the average medieval person was pretty normal. the chivalric death cult, whose members were known to literally die if prevented from riding to war, was an outlier and should not have been counted

[caesarsaladinn]

On hearing of Anjou’s death, a tailor of Orleans named Guillaume le Jupponnier, when “overcome with wine,” burst into a tirade in which can be heard the rarely recorded voice of his class. “What did he go there for, this Duke of Anjou, down there where he went? He has pillaged and robbed and carried off money to Italy in order to conquer another land. He is dead and damned, and the King St. Louis too, like the others. Filth, filth of a King and a King! We have no King but God. Do you think they got honestly what they have? They tax me and re-tax me and it hurts them that they can’t have everything we own. Why should they take from me what I earn with my needle? I would rather the King and all kings were dead than that my son should be hurt in his little finger.”

I went looking for more information on Guillarme le Jupponier, and found this article, which points to a slew of similar speeches in European and US history-- and, crucially, the fact that Guillarme le Jupponier was released after that speech, not tortured or executed, because it was acknowledged that his sentiments were extremely common.

Studying nearly 1,100 rebellions in France, the Low Countries and Italy stretching back to 1200 the historian Samuel Cohn discovered that instead of hat-in-hand deference, “genuine, heartfelt hatred for a king or queen is easy to find.”

can we pause on that? 1100 rebellions?!?

personally I am of the opinion that vegans who are like “the way our food system currently works under capitalism on a large scale is exceptionally cruel to all animals including humans and is not sustainable, so I’m doing what I can to make the most ethical choices available to me about what I eat and encourage others to do the same” are generally very reasonable people who I agree with in spades. but vegans who seem to think human beings are not themselves animals who are ultimately also part of the food chain but instead some kind of other paternalistic higher entity that can never engage in ethical and sustainable hunting practices (and especially the fringe I’ve seen who think other carnivorous animal predators are also evil and need to be eliminated) are people I regard as foolish at best if not actively anti-indigenous and racist

There is no drug on earth that can replicate the absolute euphoria of hitting a writing flow state at 2:00 AM. You aren’t even typing anymore. You are a vessel. You are a channel for the gods. The characters are speaking directly into your brain and you’re just the stenographer trying to keep up. You feel like you could fight a bear. You feel like you invented the alphabet

anyway let's all get stoned together and ask each other super invasive and inappropriate questions

[iamthefungus]

Not sure why having a fat fetish is the equivalent of being satan. Saw a twt post making fun of fat art (again) and no other kink/fetish stuff ive seen has ever been so beaten into the ground then fat stuff has. They all preach fat positivity until it gets past a size they’re uncomfortable with (less then chubby) and then its gross and weird and youre promoting an unhealthy lifestyle. It all stems from fatphobia even tho these people would claim theyre not. Just pisses me off

[nwarrior777]

agree agree agreeeeee

no other kink is getting such "ew!!! disgusting" hate, which is so impactfull people getting So afraid to go into it openly

i mean even """weird""" kinks like idk, alien pregnancy, doesn't have that, it's usually "um wtf weird" from normiss, But it doesn't come up with "actually by hating this kink i am doing cool activist job and shame blasphemous people who are so so wrong in life and Very Hurtfull" attitude

also i don't remember any more kinks being banned by tumblr rules

[nwarrior777]

my theory is this kink is not just "i look at drawings or at max - have bad dragon toys in my bedroom" but very visible outside of bedroom

it's like, lifestyle. you can get fat, very fat from this kink - and you, well, will be fat everythere

which turns fat kink shame literally into "i don't like to see people getting fat beyond limits i decide, and i also don't like them loving the fattening process"

which is fckin "if you gay do your sht behind closed door, i don't like to see it" situation.

tired of cannibalism as a metaphor for love or sex. can we get into cannibalism as a metaphor for colonization.

[sloppity-bilepiper]

1. Europeans using Egyptian mummies as medicine

2. The Delectable Negro: Human Consumption and Homoeroticism Within US Slave Culture by Vincent Woodard

3. "Abolitionists turned the tables on Europeans by accusing them of being cannibals when they ate sugar tainted with the flesh and blood of slaves."

4. Zombies (which I would class as cannibals, since they were human and need to eat humans to live) have a root in Haitian folklore and represented enslavement.

[vintagedean]

adding that, if you can find it, cannibal culture by deborah root is about exactly this. the way the white western world is a hungry, destructive force that cannibalizes non-white cultures and creates wealth and status through the cannibal colonization of those cultures.

here's the intro

i almost think there's an essay in bell hooks' black looks about this too? yes! just checked, there's an essay called "eating the other"
