I Haven't Read Tgcf And I'm Not Planning To (not My Cup Of Tea) But Why Is The Fandom So Classist Against

In fantasy, medieval life is depicted as all sexual violence and squalor. It's not that simple

Whenever a fantasy series such as "House of the Dragon" treads deeply into gruesome violence or plain old human exploitation, storytellers like to say it's historically accurate. But while sexual and reproductive violence is somewhat accurate for the medieval age, so are myriad other things that seem to fall off the storyboard when it's time to add authenticity.

“The desire to be ‘accurate’ suddenly disappears when sex isn’t involved and it is actual interesting day to day minutiae,” says Eleanor Janega, a medieval historian who teaches at the London School of Economics. “If the ('Game of Thrones’) world was historically accurate, why isn’t every single noble house or castle absolutely covered by huge gaudy, colourful murals? Why is it that this form of historical accuracy isn’t important, but showing rape as endemic is?”

Other historians point out that, as prurient and gasp-worthy as something like a crude C-section death is, such butchery wasn’t as prevalent as storytellers would have you believe.

“They were very keen on protecting mothers from harm,” medieval history scholar Sara McDougall told Slate.

Texts from the time indicate that such extreme measures would usually be performed on women who had already died – not, as in “House of the Dragon,” a fully awake and alert woman with no clue what was about to happen to her.

[…]

Janega points out that, while medieval times were certainly not overkind to women or anyone else who wasn’t rich, powerful and male, they weren’t the burlesque of suffering we’re so used to seeing on screen.

“'Accuracy’ is always focusing on the distasteful aspects of a society, but never the pleasurable ones,” she says. “(It) somehow always encompasses sexual violence and never things like, for example, the three field system, or fishing weirs. They don’t really show how women other than the nobility are a dynamic part of the medieval workforce. Women are found in pretty much every facet of medieval work: as blacksmiths, running shops, brewing beer, in cloth production, running bath houses or in trading delegations addressing the court.”

Ellen from ihnmaims and Anya from mouthwashing i'm sorry you have fandoms who only care about "toxic yaoi" 😔

what.... what porn of real children is there on ao3. talking about your last post. was that a joke or are you serious

Real people fics are quite popular in ao3, i like going through random fandoms and i've come across stories about real teenagers, i remember this one in 2020 of the YouTuber tommyinnit who was very much a minor at the time. It's actually so freaking weird, when i called it out on Twitter mfs tried to say banning it would infringe their freedom or something 💀

Me when asoiaf siblings

The Stark sisters are truly my roman empire, apparently being a fan of both is unpopular here on Tumblr but i love them. I think their relationship is so realistic, anyone with a sibling will tell you about the times they didn't get along, i think this fandom thinks their relationship is cruel because they think their age gap is bigger than it actually is, they're just two years apart and don't understand each other's ideals so they have conflicts but it's so very obvious how much they love each other from Arya thinking of needle for all her siblings "even for Sansa" and Sansa imagining her daughter would look like Arya ☹️ Doomed sisters how i love you

Urgent Help:

Help my family survive and start a new life

Hello everyone, thank you for taking a moment to read our story.

I am Hazem Shawish, and I am trying to save my family from this war.

Hello everyone, I hope you take a minute to read our story. I’m Ha… Hazem friend needs your support for Help my family survive an

In the shadow of conflict, our family has faced unimaginable hardships. The passing of my father, a victim to the cruel grasp of hunger and inadequate healthcare, left a void in our lives, underscoring the fragility of our existence here. My brother, Samer, battles bipolar disorder, a condition exacerbated by the ongoing war and the severe shortage of essential medications. Without access to the necessary treatment, his life is at risk, and we live in constant fear for his well-being amidst the chaos that surrounds us. These personal tragedies have deepened the urgency of our situation.

Every day is a struggle for survival, and each night is filled with prayers for a brighter tomorrow. We hold onto hope, believing that one day the clouds will dissipate, and we will find the peace we long for.

Our home, which was a sanctuary for us, was destroyed, forcing us to live in a state of uncertainty and fear. We have lost the laughter of our children.

we had a supermarket that helped as to live and earn money, but it was bombed and we have nothing now, pic of our supermarket

We also face psychological challenges, as we have lost our father, and my brother Samer, who needs expensive medical treatment, is facing imminent danger. My mother, who has endured so much, fears losing another child. We are all suffering from malnutrition and contaminated water.

We dream of moving to Egypt to find safety, where our children can pursue their education.

We seek your support as individuals who understand the value of compassion and community.

Thank you for listening to our story, for your understanding, and for standing with us.

Rip to the Americans

Welcome

We are the family of Zaher with his wife and five children, Manar Farah Halak Ahmed Baraa. Manar is married and has a baby. We are from Gaza, north of it specifically. Before the 7th of October, we lived a happy life and had all the necessities of life available to us, including education, food, housing, and medicine. We had our dreams that we aspire to reach. Without wars and calmly, but unfortunately the war started before we achieved a need. The occupation burned our house and completely bombed my sister’s house. Our homes became uninhabitable, and all of Gaza became unfit for life according to a global agreement. We in Gaza live a very tragic life and we hope that this damned nightmare will end. My father used to work in trade, but even his workplace was destroyed. My sister’s husband used to work in selling clothes, and his shop also burned down, and no traces of him remained. Manar, her eldest son, was born in the war, and he has no clothes left

Or anything related to children, and if there are any, it is with great difficulty due to the siege and the high prices. Manar is studying law and was unable to finish university, Farah and Hala are studying business administration in the third year, Ahmed is in high school and was unable to finish it because of the war, and Baraa is in the eighth grade

We want to leave Gaza and rebuild our future. Support us and donate to us. May God reward you with all goodness. A small amount makes a difference. Thank you
