Slop.

It shouldn't but it continues to blow my mind that adults think like this, and it's the majority who do. How was there never a point aroind age 11 or 12 where these people noticed that pop history is simplified and that people in the past werent cartoon characters and lived equally complex lives to you or those around you? That kinda came to me as I realized that other people have their own internal thoughts just like I do and if people have lives and thoughts of theirnown now, everyone probably used to as well.

Plus why would you be interested in vikings if you dont wanna learn abkut em? What do you spend your Viking time on? Reading Hagar the Horrible and saying 'hell yeah?' cause that sounds fun but not really exploring an interest. I have this cool brain thing where I am compelled to either become an expert on something or not care about it whatsoever, I am a little weird that way, but the way people combine ignorance and enthusiasm just blows my fucking mind. Like, i'm a fairly smart cookie and a little brainweird, but people gotta meet me half way or admit they don't know and arent curious about basically anything including their own supposed interests.
