I have filled my house with pictures of dudes loving, ironically.

E: I mean it is technically true that ancient greece wasn't gay, because afaik they didn't have the same conception of what that word meant as we do so there is no direct map from what it means to us to back then.

Still a lot of dudes loving each other though.

can't decide whether "Homosexuality is a decadent modern invention" is even a more ideologically consistent or defensible stance than "the greatest innovation of Christianity is strict sexual shame against things that used to be nbd"

They were shouting "No homo" in Greek the whole time, but sadly speech bubbles hadn't been invented yet, so people today are under the mistaken impression that they were gay. A misconception that could easily have been avoided if comic books had been invented earlier.

They insist it was done in a derogatory way to show how disgusting it was and make fun of the people doing it. Also a bunch of philosophers used their version of the f slur to diss their posting enemies on the forums so obviously being gay wasn't acceptable back then.

IIRC the stigma was against being a bottom. That's what you have catamites for.

The top is also a nonce in this instance unfortunately. Not sure the greeks were really "better" about the whole business just hosed up in different ways.

Generally, the ancient Greek concept was tops and bottoms. If you topped, it didn't matter who you were loving, since you were a top. Likewise, if you bottomed, it didn't matter who you bottomed for, since you were a bottom.

Then as now, bottoms outnumbered tops ten to one, so much like Sparta's slave population they had to be regularly culled. This prevented the development of the uwu for a thousand years.

I like reading this with the other definition of "decadent." Homosexuality is like a rich chocolate cake. A nice treat you can have after you're finished with your heterosexuality.

They're not arguing it didn't exist, they're arguing that the ancients agreed with the statue pfp guys on Twitter that it was degenerate and wrong.

I mean they did….to a degree. Like the ancient world was not that much more accepting than later times. It just was different and weirdly based mostly in hating women somehow

you (general you) don't have to hand it to the Twitter fascist Classical Manhood people, dude, their concepts of classical sexuality are in fact wrong, and other folks will keep going "but classical sexuality isn't like modern sexuality" yes we know and also, the posters we're talking about are wrong about that too and they are not closer to correct
