Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

What about "Here's an excerpt from a paper I wrote on how the Erfurt Latrine Disaster indirectly lead to the George W. Bush shoeing incident" ?

People call it mythology, but it was really Greek and Roman religion.

In was way WAY deep into Greek and Roman Mythology in middle and highschool. I read so many books and stories about them. I'd consider myself straight.

This is a pretty pessimistic way to view people who have an interest in.. anything tbh. People view video game players in the same sort of negative light and it's not healthy there either..

Yeah...I guess I shouldn't have expected any less from a Tumblr x Lemmy post and comments, but here we are.

Leave it to Tumblr to read so much bullshit into a situation that it's distorted to the point of unrecognizable then use it to classify people.

Leave it to Lemmy to take one look at said dumpster fire, be incapable of nuance or reason, and jump on the bandwagon of idiocy.

Basically if you reduce this down to a point that actually makes sense and holds up, all it's saying is, "People who are obsessed with Nazism are to generally be avoided."

But that's too simple and obvious to go viral, so they gotta chuck a few reasonable but adjacent groups into the flames as well, then dogmatically stick to it.

So you're saying I'm weird because I love history for history's sake and not any particular political reason?

I am interested in the world wars, among many other things. Everything from 1940s/50s Hollywood scandal and crime to The Bronze Age Collapse and lots of other stuff in between.

I majored in Near Eastern Classical Archaeology, but I never equated any of it with particular personal beliefs.
