A famous Greek warrior? Doing homosexuality? In my antiquities?
It's more likely than you think
You can always out-trad these people. Say their minds have been corrupted by christian slave morality and go neopagan on them..
as a pagan, stop. we don't need a second Varg
Especially not while the first one's still drawing breath
It is very funny seeing white guys lament the lost day of the alpha Viking warrior, then you look at his bio and it’s a proud Christian lol. Empty brain. Just vibes.
scandinavians were such hardcore christians during medieval times that they usually got baptised multiple times
because the priests gave you the white robe afterwards and apparentely it was very valuable in the local markets
smh casting a angloid as Alexander, the wokes have won again
should have made him a greek manlet
They should have cast Stavros as Alexander the Great
Alexander the Weight
Alexander looking at his empire with that Thousand Island Stare:
"And Alexander wept, seeing as he had no more worlds to conquer."
A bronze age warlord could be named Homosexius Manlover and trad dipshits would still blame the "woke agenda" if you made a show about him kissing dudes between conquests.
Alexander the Top
I'll keep saying it until it becomes a sute tagline:
By and large, Alexander was bi and large
Also from what little I know of history he was murdered by a council of old conservatives who hated him for multiculturalism so yeah, these dipshits would've probably hated Alexander at the time
By and large, Alexander was bi and large
We love our big bi boy folks, we love him
alexander and many other men openly having sex with many eunichs
actually not gay
World's most historically literate reactionary weights in on the famously heterosexual people, the Greeks.
Weren't the Greeks super gay?
Also why is this Greek man blonde?
Also, why are they calling this warlord "Great"?
that was his name. it's on the birth certificate and everything
great, alexander the
Son of Phil the Great
Oh yeah, Macedonians were of the Dorian cultural group (shared a lot with Spartans) that pretty much had regimented militarized homosexuality (i.e. you and a squad/group-mate sharing bunks is socially enforced/expected). It was pretty much a given assumption in society that men would have their wives but also have male lovers as well (different from the Roman stance on homosexuality only being acceptable for those "taking" and not "receiving", i.e. ussually non-consensual) and that these male lovers were commonly the men they trained and studied with.
the greeks invented gayness
yes and no
gayness as an identity is a modern concept the ancients didnt really focus on that they just kind of fucked whoever they wanted there was a lot less social stigma around all that
Also why is this Greek man blonde?
Alexander was Macedonian, and even today there are fairer skinned Greeks. It's not inconceivable that he would be blonde but we honestly don't know.
Turned?
To be fair Alexander could have been blond, there are many descriptions of him like that (and also many with brown hair). Plutarch, who lived long after him but is generally a good source describe him as blond. His eyes were again, depend on version, blue, gray or one blue and one gray. It's not impossible since ancient Macedonians were known to have all those.
About gayness, it was rather bisexualism which was common in Macedonian nobility, including pederastia.
That's not even that good of a time. I can get gay% in sub 5.
I know it's not recommended, but i just leave gay on standby.
Plenty of historical texts describing his love affairs with men and women. Plenty of history describing the ancient Greeks also like that. Later Romans too.
woah, a greek guy that fucks dudes? this is completely unheard of in human history.
Were the Macedonians woke?
I'm honestly surprised they haven't pulled an "Alexander was a paedo" card.
Satanic Hollywood making a biopic about a pederast to normalise adrenochrome harvesting etc etc
Can't they just like, exist in a world where they're sometimes respectfully disagreed with? This isn't life or death.
