we look back on old portrayals of foreign cultures as racist but ultimately they reflect ignorance and a fascination with the far away exotic that really doesn't exist in the modern world.

@Kagekokoro we're a bit less ignorant, and as a result less racist, but i don't think it's for the right reasons (ie increased compassion and understanding of our common humanity). rather it's cause in school they say racists did bad things.

@emilis there used to be beastiaries containing animals that don't exist in far off lands. people had no fucking clue what was out there.

@emilis kings had something we don't, which were vassals and people they could feel better than. yes we can eat fine food from anywhere in the world but can we make another taste it for us to test its lack of poison?

@e @newt you have to play hard to get. "i would consider dating you" sounds cool and aloof. "DATE ME blobcatgun " is a bit less suave. but if he did it any differently he wouldn't be VD and i like him just the way he is ^^
