Fake History Porn

Welcome to /c/fakehistoryporn@lemmy.world , where fake history is made. Find a historically significant photo, come up with a fake history title, post it, laugh.
The name is a reference to the fact that the pictures should be worth marveling at. This is NOT a place for hardcore pornography. Tasteful nudity is fine as long as it fits within the context of the post (please mark it as NSFW).

I do think it is fine, but the point is...
I mostly agree but I would not call it the point. The point is to have fun over fake history. This is a rule or guideline which I admittedly broke de iure but I think I acted sufficiently in the spirit of our community that such posts should be allowed sparingly (as long as they don't overrun the community outside its moderators' intentions). In 2020, I posted this on r/memes, r/mathmemes r/fakehistorymemes, where it arguably fits better, but the r/fakehistoryporn post got most upvotes and there is no fake history memes community on Lemmy anyway.
