As much as I disagree in some things with @ nbapprentice (not actually tagging them bc idk if they want to hear from me) they are also a blog where anti LO opinions are heard and that’s good. I figured I could post some anon opinions from there as well. (I am also not reblogging all of them so I won’t spam you more than I already have)

I know nobody knows who I am but I’m here to say i’ve personally seen the damage people who make bullshit callouts and accusations does, so if you’re associated with that sort of thing I would appreciate you not hanging around me. I’ve watched people I respect get hurt over and over because of serious lies backed up by nothing and endless harassment and I want nothing to do with it.

(TLDR: This is a YJJ stan blog, and I’m a huge fan of Lunaris games too. Dislike them and their content all you want, but if you condone the lies and harassment, or take part in it in any way, please see your way out)

TAS really makes callout after callout about artists who aint done shit, ushers their followers to send death threats and accusations to them, dedicates an entire server to stalking these people and picking apart the wording and false implications of a dumb romance game, and fills the tags with false pedo/racist/and rapey accusations 

and then are all omg why is everyone so obsessed with me?  😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 when someone mentions a url change can you imagine being this thick skulled lol

I like how that apprentice person got criticized so she was forced to make a non apology about how “men writing means it’s bad and if you cant accept that then sorry but homer won’t fuck you”

Ah, yes, I got a screenshot of it...

I don’t have personal beef with OP and we agree in many things overall. However, they (mod nba) come from the New World (Argentina) and - I assume - have little touch with the old native religion of their region. If they had grown up with their native mythology they would know that such is the nature of myths worldwide. And they wouldn’t speak like that for another mythology/old religion since they would know how it is to have such a mythology yourself. Idk, just some speculation on my part.

And I think OP has lost the point completely. The point is that we shouldn’t judge old myths with 21 century Abrahamic faith lenses. They are not here to be judged and teach us moral lessons TODAY. Similarly, you can’t be taught by a story talking about how to treat your slave because... we are over that in most societies. Some myths can be teaching, but they obviously come from another era. LO doesn’t work for this exact reason, because Smythe tried to bring an old story to the present - with the present laws and morals applying.

Not to mention... the “bad” things characters do in myths have been used many times to deem a people as savage by foreigners. “Look how barbaric their society are, they have myths were women are raped!“ (even though the society will often have laws against rape). So... I am not a fan of this logic.

And of course myths/old religious stories are not to be interpreted as 100% realistic.

Plus, many people from America says Greek took their culture, myths and gods from the middle east and/or north Africa but when it comes to accusing those myths, suddenly they are 100% Greek :) Oh those evil Greek myths that corrupted the West with the wrong “cultural morals”! As if the West didn’t already have gods and stories with murder, like Westerners didn’t know how to harm their neighbor and pillage before they read Greek myths!

And... the idea that Greek myths somehow inspired societies to be more conservative??? what?? Does OP know that Greeks have been Christians for the last 2.000 years? Oppression and harmful behavior wasn’t eliminated after we switched religions. Not even conservative Greeks were/are inspired by the Greek myths.

They basically insult Greek culture and then they go “if you are insulted by this, what can I say, Homer won’t fuck you“. Yeah because that was DEFINITLY our problem. Well done, you understood our position completely xD
