Saw The Zone of interest yesterday.

Not by me originally, only translated from German (Lemmy post), originally posted on Bluesky (only accessible with an account)

A parody of "The Treachery of Images" by Rene Magritte, but with Nixon.

"White death" by Sabaton

I heard they took down the original video of this song because the pictures had the rifle with a scope. Simo never used one I guess.

Watership Down.🐰🐇😳

Recently stumbled on an anime (though if it's anime can be debated) which are essentially just history shitposts on ancient greece. Each episode ends in a song, this being one of my favorites.

Edit: it seems some episodes are on youtube https://youtu.be/LF0ufQp_nmY?si=q3Ncev1Rj5KzE3ph

Tl;dw - Unlike China and Japan, medieval Korea followed an extreme school of Confucianism that emphasized hierarchy and age over practicality. After WW2, the South Korean ~~dictatorship~~ government used this tradition to cement their own power. The video argues that these have made South Korea an extremely hierarchical, and in particular, sexist, society. A video game's refusal to sexualize a female character for their (mostly male) audience was thus seen as an attack on the system. A female artist at the studio was accused of being a 'radical feminist', and either fired or resigned to appease fans.
