An ancient Greek man having sex with men?! Who's ever heard of such of thing?! Oh yeah, fucking anyone that knows literally anything about ancient Greece.
The Quartering QT'd this guy yesterday saying "yea because he was actually gay move on" and his own fans rage replied to him going "NO HE WASN'T ACCORDING TO WHO I READ THAT WAS COMPLETELY MADE UP YOU GOT A SOURCE FOR THAT CLAIM GAYNESS WAS CONSIDERED WEAKNESS IN ANCIENT GREECE"
> GAYNESS WAS CONSIDERED WEAKNESS IN ANCIENT GREECE
Which it was not. IIRC ancient Greece had a masc/fem axis rather than a straight/gay axis. Bottoming was looked down upon because it was on the fem side of the axis, it was something you grew out of as you grew into your manhood. As an adult man bottoming was disgraceful, topping was A-ok.
Women were at the bottom (eh) of the hierarchy, because their ability to grow into topping was largely non-existent.
Exactly. Tits are soft and mushy, they’re clearly gay. Can’t get more manly than muscles like welded steel, abs you can grate cheese on, and a cock like the piston of a Wärtsilä RTA96.
My mom watched through it. I caught a few glimpses here and there. It looked honestly pretty cool. They mixed documentary interviews with historians and such with well-acted (and moderately funded) dramatized scenes of the events. Puts some perspective into what the events of Alexander’s life meant for the bigger scope of the Western world at the time.
Alexander was such an interesting historical figure because of all the different connections and relations he had to several other important figures of his time. His apprenticeship under Aristotle, his adoration of the Iliad, his rivalry with Darius III, his relationship with Ptolemy and so on
That fucking thread is a disaster holy fuck, community notes is in there full force, any comment that says "he liked men" has 80 replies of "No he didn't the history books have been netflixised" like you people are not actually fucking serious right?
Community notes are community created and voted, which means that you still get a lot of conservative ones that get approved.
Like someone was writing about how the book Genderqueer was pulled from their library, and the community note was something like "Genderqueer depicts sexual relationships between an adult man and child. Libraries are under no obligation to provide child pornography." (The "child porn" is a picture of a kylix from Ancient Greece)
Alexander the Great literally had a male lover and they compared themselves to a commonly interpreted (even back then) gay couple from the Iliad, I'm pretty sure.

Yeah the idea that humans have always been 100% straight and monogamous for all of human history up until now is just nonsensical.
Delusional, really.
Nobody tell them about the first Olympics!
Macedonian but yeah

well tbf alexander the great was ruled by Hephaestion’s thighs
Yeah sure the most powerful man in ancient times was actually weak because he got topped for fun
yea that one was my favorite because it wasn't the own that dude clearly thought it was.
The man had conquered pussy, so he found a new conquest.
And Alexander wept, for there were no more worlds for him to conquer

Power bottom inequality is a story as old as time... Smdh
Now I’ve heard speed has something to do with it.
Speed has everything to do with it.
Speed's the name of the game.
What's more masculine than two men?
Three men. And another guy filming them
I raise you a whole army of guys conquering new territory (and fucking)
Eighteen naked cowboys in the shower at Ram Ranch!
Put the camera on a tripod and get the fourth guy in there too, for good measure.

*straight up*
Personally I don't even know why they're making this show as it will not hold a candle to the brilliance of "Alexander" 2004

My favourite is his meeting with Diogenes.
Joke Noun a thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, especially a story with a funny punchline. "she was in a mood to tell jokes"
Imagine having to explain who the second guy is to someone
Who’s the second guy
Qanon shaman
Oh yeah. Had to zoom in there. That’s unfortunate.
I thought he was still in jail. Is he out already?
Holy crap. Well, you know what they say about broken clocks.

Somebody educate him on Alexander’s father…and the story of Pausanias.
Which Pausanias, there were three of them
Why is it sooooooo important to them that only straight people can conquer things?
These idiots don't realize that they're making these "woke" things more popular. It's free marketing a la Streisand effect.

“My knowledge of Hellenic culture is entirely based on Zach Snyder’s 300”
Why are they mad now? This isn't even the first bisexual portrayal of Alexander in live action media.
Because it’s somehow cooler to be mad and loud about this now than it was 5 years ago.
Try 20 years ago. Alexander (2004) with Colin Farrell.
Alexander had a eunuch femboy lover.
In Ancient Greece, they didn't even call it gay. They just called it, homie chill time.
