Narrator voice: the Spaniards did not, in fact, "love" brown women.

(It took about forty years after contact for the church to declare indigenous people as actually human with the 'Sublimis Deus' papal bull in 1537.)

I'm surprised it didn't take longer.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 4 points 12 hours ago

Well that was the church, not the conquistadors or the spanish crown and emperor. I believe the history went along the lines of some clergy felt the conquistadors were being a little too barbaric and unchristian, so they convinced the Spanish to debate it a few decades later and eventually convinced them to take a break for a few years.

If "loving women" means raping them and taking them as sex slaves then sure.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

it's a typo.

it says ,"I fucking love brown women". it was supported to say, "I love fucking brown women".

I've seen this posted a few places and there's amazing number of people who aren't able to pick up on it. For the first frame no it's not really MSG people. It's a British person selling opium to Chinese kids. They're tricking them. They're British it's what they do. For the second frame I'm deeply concerned about how many people aren't able to read the facial expression and body language of the two native women. Somehow some of y'all looked at them and thought yeah they seem happy despite the frowning faces and sad looks on their face. It's implying the rape.

Drug pedaling Brits and rapacious conquistadors. That's the message of this comic. Media literacy not at a high it seems

It's because it's a fucking gross depiction. Everyone gets that.

It's also the weirdest mix of historical innaccuracy and self censorship.

[–] Soulg@ani.social 5 points 14 hours ago

Clearly not enough people get that.

Centurii-chan has really captured the market on gooners that celebrate these things. The artist does it all on commissions and the requests they recieve indicate their market is genuinely into that sort of thing.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Having this be a commissioned piece certainly explains the weird MSG line.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 12 hours ago

Most things I recall are often a lottery system of subscribers submitting requests. I was an old subscriber but I started seeing a bit of an unsettling pattern and they got increasingly porny.

I don't blame the artist one bit though. Get that money.

Sure let's read into it. The colonizer is also a women. So that is not accurate.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Wow, you really cracked that one you super sleuth you.

[–] match@pawb.social 0 points 13 hours ago

they should give the indigenous women knives

[–] sprite0@sh.itjust.works 11 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (4 children)

pretty gross whitewash of the rape, torture and enslavement of many thousands of women and children by colonizers

[–] fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure that the second page is depicting the scene before the rape takes part, both natives look displeased because they were forced to be there. And the left one could be a kid.

Idk what's being whitewashed in this metaphorical rape illustration tbh.

[–] Soulg@ani.social 5 points 8 hours ago

People are completely media illiterate and see the "main"character of the picture being happy and thus immediately think it's a celebration of the bad thing

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 14 hours ago

And all of the straight up genocide.

[–] philpo@feddit.org 2 points 14 hours ago

Yeah,that post wasn't even funny by 4chan standards.

[–] WhyIAughta@lemmy.world 10 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

I don’t think I understand the first slide. The Japanese invented MSG.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 13 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

Some nations like the British colonized and conquered by fucking with the people. The other end of the spectrum, Spain and others just fucked the people.

[–] marzhall@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

The hell kind of sick joke is this?

The conquistadors literally drug women out into the valleys underneath where the Inca were barricaded up and raped them so their screams would echo up to the besieged, whom they later either slaughtered or enslaved, and beheaded the rulers after forcibly converting them to Catholicism and hid their remains so they couldn't be worshipped in Inca tradition. Is that what you consider "just fucking"?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Wrong. The Spaniards did a lot of murder.

Funnily enough a pretty large portion of Robinson Crusoe is about how superior the British colonial method is because healthy slaves make more money.

[–] WhyIAughta@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, but that doesn’t explain the MSG in the baggie

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 19 hours ago

Opium

Tho why they don't spell it out, idk

[–] eighty@aussie.zone 22 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I thought it was referring to the Opium Wars

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 0 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Dunno how you get that. MSG has nothing to do with opium.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Do you not understand the concept of "lying?" The comic is showing the British person selling drugs and calling it MSG. It isn't actually MSG. 🤦‍♂️

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 13 hours ago

Yeah but they didn't lie about what Opium was. It's a weird obfuscation/selfcensoring.

The Brits would absolutely just ask kids on the street if they wanted some opium. Hell, forget the asking part, kidnap/buy them, get them hooked, and prostitute them was a go-to move.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

The french name for this is "café au lait" (for the french).
