I never heard of her being a lesbian. Honestly surprised she isn’t black. Seriously I’m surprised

Ironically, during her lifetime the only people who accused Marie Antoinette of being a lesbian were hostile pamphleteers trying to slander her. Also the woman she's apparently making out with, the Madame du Barry, was her bitter enemy IRL. Du Barry was the mistress of Louis XV, Marie's father-in-law; the sexually conservative Marie, herself the daughter of the zealously Catholic Maria Theresa of Austria, considered the former a degenerate and a social upstart, and literally the first thing she did as Queen after her husband ascended to the French throne was have Du Barry exiled from the royal court.

Shocking! You mean they aren’t telling actual history and injecting lgbt “representation” where it doesn’t belong? Sacre bleu!

Seriously this is why I have to check the year on any history I look at. Or any documentary

They’ve been trying to make every historical female lesbian or bi curious for years now. There was even a movie about Lizzie Borden being a lesbian before she killed her family…

That’s true. They have to put it in everything. If there is the slightest rumor but no fact.

Marie Antoinette was probably the closest to being able to stop the French Revolution. I would love a series on her influence, ignorance, and the people who opposed her.

This looks nothing like it.

PBS' new eight-episode series Marie Antoinette tells the story of the infamous queen as a rebellious teenage girl who arrives at court with no idea how to fit into the French aristocracy, or how to get her new royal husband to talk to her, let alone sleep with her — making her sole job of continuing the Bourbon line a rather difficult one. So what does young Marie do? In the new trailer for the series, which EW can exclusively reveal below, the young dauphine embraces a bit of soif de vivre by getting flirtatious with someone who is not the king at a masquerade ball, making out with another lady at court, and excitedly threatening to burn the whole palace to the ground.

Women need media as a coping mechanism

Patently ridiculous, Archduchess Marie was a Hapsburg of Hapsburg Empire fame.

This is lurid trash.

Advanced in-breeding. Ur-Mongoloid. This bitch of a family tree is more of a straight line, etc.

Check out her nephew. 'Inbred' is too kind for those hapsburg mutants.

I mean, the public perception of Marie Antoinette is her being a spoiled cunt completely unaware of her privilege and the burden of normal people. I know that's not necessarily true but it is what normies today think when they think of Marie Antoinette (most haven't heard about her at all beyond the cake-quote)

So making her a feminist is surprisingly reflective, no?

To think I'd see the day where Fate/Grand Order portrays historical figures with more respect and dignity, by leaps and fucking bounds at that, than the countries those figures originate from.

Kind of.

I hope we have a "let them consoom brioche" revolution before going extinct.

Hmm, it’s interesting because I know a little bit about history.

I’m not caught up on fake history though, so this might be helpful.
