So can you explain what’s with the anime girl roman memes with all the sexism and racism?
As I said below
Mostly it’s just absurdist jokes and memes by a Filipino Romaboo with a terminal case of Horny.
Centurii-chan is internet-overdosed, that’s for damn sure, but unless “Being terminally horny” is sexism, I don’t think I see it. As for racism, there are certainly some edgy jokes, and Centurii-chan doesn’t always take racism as seriously as they should, but I don’t think I’ve seen anything that’s degrading towards PoC. Which, itself, would be a little weird, considering the artist is, themselves, most likely a PoC.
I also don’t get the fetish that the people over in non credible defence have either. War, guns and killing glorified and memed. So bizarre.
Many people in NCD, or at least the original (especially pre-Ukraine War) NCD, were vets or involved in the defense industry at some point in their lives. Some were bitter, some were cheerfully detached, but in both cases, humor over the absurdity of the military and fascination with military engineering were uniting features. Many of them were… bizarrely knowledgeable on military engineering and specs, both modern and historical. An attraction to those with a certain hyperfixation, one might say.
Military engineering is impressive and militaries the world-round are likewise full of fascinating absurdities - interests I share with that original demographic, even though I have never been a part of the defense industry or in the military.
Fascists also breath air and drink water. Those red flags, too? A lot of people find rome interesting. You can see this across history - look at US government buildings. It’s a roman aesthetic.
Tl;Dr Mussolini was obsessed with recreating a false, idealized past that in Italy’s case was the Roman Empire. An obsession with Rome is a warning sign of fascist ideology because that’s what actual fascism is obsessed with, as are basically all Western fascists because of Rome’s historical relevance to basically all of Europe and the Mediterranean.
It’s just not a sure sign, simply because it is a fascinating topic with plenty to dissect on any point of view.
If they’re also bitching and moaning about masculinity and heirarchy you’ve got a winner for sure though (a la your Jordan Peterson types)
Always was curious what the deal with the alarming amount of Roman and military memes that pop up.
That shit is just such a bizarre fetish of some people.
I mean, on here, it’s… it’s probably mostly me.
… I post a lot.

And we thank you for it.

Whole groups of men dressed in skirts that only want to spend time with other men in skirts?
Have you not seen the ones with the Roman anime girls? Some really messed up shit. Lots of racism and sexism with a dash of kink.
I’d be cautious of any users participating in roman meme or military meme communities. It’s a big red flag.
It is not. I can be interested in history & military history without being alt right.
And as another user said, i doubt the romanmemes or historymemes communities here would tolerate it.
Dumb take.

Sure…the leader whose territory literally used to be Rome might also have the interest. Not remotely a telling sign, though.
Fuck, I guess I’m glad I didn’t follow the history memes to the new instance. I thought all the romaboo stiff was just nerds being silly.
It is, we don’t tolerate fascists or their apologists in the HistoryMeme or RoughRomanMemes comms.
It is. There’s very little right presence on the fediverse still. And I don’t think pug would humor them if they tried.
On Lemmy at least I find the right are cowards who like to pretend to be liberals while they quietly dog whistle their takes.
It’s hard to tell how many there are, because they’re not out in the open.
It seems like you haven’t seen any evidence of them but still believe they’re here?
No, I’ve seen them around. I don’t have evidence on their numbers, same as you.
Yeah the anime girl Roman memes are certainly the cherry on top the crazy cake. Some incredibly weird and hateful fetishes were in some of those.
I could not for the life of me figure out what those were kicking on about
