even then you will get comments like "they didn't have the same understanding about orientation or gender identity".

I mean, it IS true. If you asked someone from 1910 if they were queer, they wouldn't understand you either, you'd have to launch into a very long explanation to cover the cultural baggage in that term, and how it doesn't just mean "homosexual".

And then, even if they just finished enjoying male-male intercourse with their ~~partner~~ live-in friend, they would vehemently deny any such thing and be heavily offended.

Rough Roman Memes

920 readers
74 users here now

A place to meme about the glorious ROMAN EMPIRE (and Roman Republic, and Roman Kingdom)! Byzantines tolerated! The HRE is not.

RULES:

  1. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, bigotry, etc. The past may be bigoted, but we are not.

  2. Memes must be Rome-related, not just the title. It can be about Rome, or using Roman aesthetics, or both, but the meme itself needs to have Roman themes.

  3. Follow Lemmy.world rules.

Not sure where to start on Roman history?
