El Estrago Bonito posted:I never got the obsession with Boudica. She's like the go-to warrior queen even though she was really really bad at that stuff and got her rear end handed to her during the one real battle she fought against the Romans. I guess it's probably because there isn't a large amount of stuff written about her so unlike a lot of other strong historical women leaders (ex: Ching Shih) we don't have the context that points to, like most strong leaders in history, them also being ruthless and generally not very nice (ex: Olga of Kiev). Oh, we got plenty of records of Boadicea being pretty drat nasty to the cities she captured - lot of Roman towns destroyed and the people slaughtered and mutilated in various innovative ways. She was pretty obscure for most of the Roman era and middle ages, but got a real boost in popularity during the Victorian era when someone realized her name translated as 'Victory'...

Bucnasti posted:Horny fangirls have a history that predates the internet. The term "Slash Fiction" literally comes from stories about Kirk/Spock which were distributed as mimeographed zines. There was a 70s convention where two fangirls cosplayed as Kirk and Spock's dicks.

I kinda like this guy, he's got a real 90s action figure vibe to him.
