The way you phrased it made me question your views about eating people, Jyn.
Generally against, but if it's your only choice for survival, you gotta do what you gotta do.
What the fuck, Jyn.
And Crocs.
…Kayla.
Reed. I guess I’m not that surprised there.
at least they didn't kill a kid and eat em
That’s reminds me of something that happened at work today.

Someone at your work killed a child and ate them???

If it's literally my last ditch way to not die a slow, painful death at sea, then maybe. But tbh I probably don't care about surviving that much.
'They didn't have morals'
well if they didn't, then the Europeans who, just off the top of my head:
Kicked them off their own land
Gave them deadly diseases that their bodies didn't have a resistance to both purposefully and accidentally, killing off almost all of them
Got them addicted to alcohol just so they could sell them more
Murdered them for little to no reason
certainly didn't have morals
Purposefully? I think that’s sus. The dudes hadn’t discovered germs yet. No need to blame them with that when there’s plenty other.
Also Columbus wasn’t such a bad dude. He just had literal criminals as crew mates that couldn’t be prosecuted.
Also some of the dudes in the new world farmed people for human sacrifice. Obvi the colonizers were hella unpoggers. But them calling some of them savages is understandable. Not that it excuses anyone.

no they definitely gave them diseases purposefully at one point. They gave the native americans diseased blankets to clear them off the land. Even if the use of it was scant, it still happened as a method of biological warfare
do not come on here defending columbus, dom. what the fuck

they would take items people they knew were sick had used and gave them away
while i don't condone human sacrifice, a lot of those cultures that did them regularly genuinely thought that sacrifice was the way to go with appeasing their gods. some of them had angry gods that demanded blood, so to keep them from throwing fits that could've destroyed the world. that was their faith, and it was their normal. the sacrificed people knew it was a part of their reality
in my opinion, it's quite different from, say, killing hundreds of people under the assumption they are witches, or because an entire civilization doesn't live the same way yours does, or other massacres that happened
Also are we just gonna pretend that the Europeans weren't marrying teenagers because…
Exactly. Plus, Ella, I know your mom is Christian, does she like… know what ancient Israel was like? They married kids, made animal sacrifices, and had shoddy morals. Like. Bruh. And that was all supposedly ordered by God. Being monotheistic does not equal having morals. The colonizers sucked.
Granted, you might know Jewish law better than me but.
Did they marry kids, or young teens?
And they were always disobeying. So that’s part of the shoddy morals thing.

dude literally most of the people sacrificed were elated to be sacrificed, because to them it was an honor and they had been waiting for it forever

I did try to research before I asked but what did he do personally or many order.

I mean… if that’s the case. I still think it’s wrong. But it does make a difference.

Jeffery Amherst, Domino.
Nice knowledge, Ash. Good job.

Thx.
i. i just gotta ask man, have you seriously never googled, yourself, what he did? this can't be the first time you've heard people talking about it
literally all it took was "crimes of columbus" or something like that and that was near the top
I heard buncha crimes. But never something he did. Just what his crew did.
Except for the bringing home humans for display bit..
dude he. stood by and watched all this. that's issue enough. he supported it, how can you not take issue with that
(spoilered for tw of depression and suicide)
hi im sorry what the actual fuck is this
no
i'm so tempted to just yell at this person even though the current conversation in the server is most definitely something else
you know what makes me feel sick?
the fact that this message went COMPLETELY IGNORED
oh my god
i dont understand how anyone could think this way wtf
please please know that all of you are so so valid and deserve all the happiness you can possibly get okay? you are loved, no matter what shit anyone else says about you. as always, stay safe, don't forget to eat and hydrate, and try not to die. i love you all <3
Izzy do you by any chance happen to know the home address and/or phone number of this poor, sad excuse for a human being?
Okay here's the plan
We break into his house and beat him so hard he gets amnesia
Then when he wakes up after a few months, we'll surround him with only LGBTQ+ positive media and people until he imprints, then release him back into the world
sadly i do not.
but yes.
i 100% agree with this. i'll stand by for the beating part bc god knows i can't inflict damage on any living creature no matter how much i hate them atm
but ill be there for moral support !!
and YES
