the fact that helen of troy is a mother is soooo crazy to me bc no one ever ever ever looks at her like that. they will give her every other title except mother. what if she’s not the face that launched a thousand ships or menelaus’ wife or paris’ lover or aphrodite’s pawn or the traitor or the downfall or the most beautiful woman in the world what if she is just a girl’s mom sometimes. does anyone remember??? she has a little girl. she used to rock her to sleep

The other thing people don't like talking about re: ancient mythology revisionism is that um. Well when you romanticize it a little too hard you kind of queer feministly stumble far too close to nazi shit & then you're on paganblr like where did all these nazis come from

[tlirsgender]

The idea of a European Utopian Past is kinda ... well you see it when I put it like that, right? RETVRN innit. It's still RETVRN if you're gay

[tlirsgender]

It's like the problem with cottagecore we gotta think about our implications here. Your queer feminist escapist fantasy is running on nazi ideology you're just stopping the thought process before it gets to the "because of jews" part. It Sounds really harsh when I put it like that but you need to understand that a Lot of things are microdosing naziism like that. Living in a white supremacist society etc. I'm not calling anything Uniquely Evil the evil is extremely commonplace and mundane. That's why we need to point it out
