Hey look, actual cultural appropriation.
Excuse me. The Green Knight was beheaded, he didn't hang himself.
And Gawain wasn't a Pajeet, like in the recent film.
Once again only providing more ammunition to the idea they're broken, hollow shells parading as complete humans. Conceiving of any deeper thoughts than their own shallow deviancy to connect over is apparently just unimaginable.
Um, how about no.
He lusted after his queen, and then ran into the woods to hook up with some forest princess to produce Galahad. Sounds pretty straight to me.
They're so hyperfocused on their own bullshit, they can't even realize that the story itself was a bit "progressive" for its time. Galahad the bastard was the one to find the Grail and be carried off in a heavenly chariot, leaving his buddy behind.
Don’t let these people touch classics
Or children. They're into that as well.
Or pets...
Agreed
Beat me to it
into the trash it goes
I have some background in lit crit, which is where I saw some of the origins of this leftist rot that would quickly metastasize to every discipline in the academy. My best instructor heavily stressed the importance of the constraints imposed upon our interpretations of a text by the text itself; you’re not allowed to support an interpretation of a text when evidence within the text explicitly contradicts you.
This is so obvious a concept that it borders on complete tautology, but it was nonetheless necessary for curtailing the wildly unsupported ideas proposed by leftist students. Often times, leftist students would propose insane themes and subtext - about LGBTQ or anti-capitalism or patriarchy - that were not remotely supported by the actual writing and were, in fact, ruled out by a more complete reading. Those students were there to promote leftist ideology, and their only interest in classical literature was to torture our interpretations of it until we discovered that all of literature was secretly about trans lesbian communists.
My good instructors rapidly became outliers as the intolerant leftists forced any non-activists out of the department. Eventually, the faculty consisted only of teachers who gleefully ignored all constraints on interpretation. You could score easy A’s in any course, at any level, by simply regurgitating the most brain dead critical theory ideas in any discussion or paper. It didn’t matter how detached these ideas were from the subject text. The entire lit crit discipline became 100% corrupt and useless in just a matter of years.
Isn't the whole idea behind Critical Thoery that there are infinite, equally valid, interpretations of any text?
That’s the motte. The bailey is ruthless enforcement of leftist ideology. Critical Theory is basically a hand grenade that leftists tossed at western civilization in order to burn it all down and make way for communism.
The “infinite equally valid interpretations” bit used to run into the brick wall of “there are constraints within the text that make your interpretation impossible”. That shit got tossed when the leftists took over.
Another example is the concept of “lenses”. We used to employ different these as viewpoint exercises - feminist lens, masculine lens, etc. But then the leftist lenses became the default while every other lens became verboten.
Sort of, until they are able to enforce an interpretation that they like, then that one is canonical and everyone who thinks otherwise is a Nazi bigot.
Because of the time in question this was set, I can't tell if this insults the English more or the French?
The Celts. She's insulting the Celts.
Oh god forgot THEY'RE involved too.
This is the thing with European history and mythology, you try to change one thing to current day it, you've insulted a minimum of 10 different groups it's that interconnected.
Everyone disliked that
Round tables, homos in the skies.
“I’m not saying the original authors made him a tranny”
Then write your own goddamn story, you dickless leech.
Lancelot had a child (Galahad) with a woman.
You might make me change my opinion if there's a source of him being a manlet and of him losing every physical fight against another knight.
It's further down in it's explanation that it was a story with wizards so magic could be responsible for the reproduction.
Saw the italicized "my own", my eyes simply slid off the rest of the text.
I mean, anyone could be trans, but some of us had Dads...
I honestly don't fucking care what you do in fanfiction as long as you acknowledge it as such and not throw a fit when people avoid it like the plague. You try to run serious discussions with this shit, you better be damn prepared to get laughed out of the room.
That's how all this shit started: " I don't care what two consenting adults do in the privacy of their bedroom".
Don't hold these people to rational, civilized standards, like you could expect them to act like decent human being.
I care what they do in fan fiction. I care that they DO fan fiction, which is fake and gay in itself.
Gatekeep. Be prejudiced. Don't tolerate.
Yup. Live and let live only works when you're dealing civilized human beings. If you give commie degenerates an inch they take a mile. Throw these perverts out of every community they try to infest.
You say that, and yet Fate/Stay Night propelled TypeMoon into being a top name in Japan. It's full of gender-swap bullshit that everyone knows is bullshit, and yet they enjoy it nonetheless. It's fun. No one uses it as a means to seriously talk tranny shit in as the real legend unless they're sick in the head.
Let fun be fun. Something they don't understand in the slightest.
Theyre gender swapped not trannies
Also never doubt the desire of humanity for cute waifus whether theyre dead historical figures or ships
Tell that to Van Gogh.
Tell it to his right side though
