Ein fairer Punkt

In my experience the biggest homophobes are gay themselves.

Spartans weren’t gay.
Thebes had a gay army called Sacred Band of Thebes, that destroyed Spartans.
Maybe they are anti-gay, because gays destroyed their ancestors.

Another reason to hate the spartans is because I, a guy named Leonidas who’s been lowkey obsessed with the 300 since 7, have these assholes co-opt my cool iconography for their shitty hate. Can’t wait till they disappear to the void like golden dawn

ancient greeks views on homosexuality were not that opened, just saying

Homosexuality  in Ancient Greece between two adult men was deemed taboo and, in fact, perverse.

Homosexuality  in Ancient Greece between a dominate adult man, and a submissive young bow was what tradition in ancient Greece. And viewed as normal and necessary.

Being Anti-LGBTQ+ is of course moronic. but what was tradition in Ancient Greece was pedophilia, hebephilia and ephebophilia not consensual sex between two adult men.

Yesss, they should care… And perhaps also pass it on to their children!

Achilles , Sapho , Alexander the great would be mad 🧐This is not real Greek spirit. This is toxic masculinity

Wasn’t the Spartan ideology that they where foreigners occupying the land?

Anti-gay Greeks, now I’ve seen everything…

Gotta love how gay and women’s sexuality is immutable and needs to be respected, but mens’ sexuality can be whatever is convenient for progressives and their jokes.

Sparta was not in fact gay. They were the same ordinary people as everyone else with the same low rate of homosexuality.

It’s not gay if you don’t look in the eyes.

And femboys don’t count.

They weren’t even all that special as soldiers, at least until the Thermopylae. 

 That battle wasn’t what people think either. It had very little strategic impact. It was quite literally a human sacrifice.  

 Sparta had two kings who didn’t really have much political power.  The Delphi Oracle said that in order to win the war with the Persians, a Spartan king had to die in a battle. 

So they arranged a battle for Leonidas to die in so the prophesy would come true. 

 This greatly impressed the rest of the Hellenic world, and the Spartans’ reputation as warriors grew almost overnight. (Until then, Sparta was mostly known for the beauty of its women). 

 In turn, now that they had that reputation, the intensely proud Spartans felt the need to uphold it, so in time they did become above average.

Even that helmet is historically inaccurate. The Spartans preferred the much simpler and plain looking conical helmet. 

It seems that whoever designed that emblem used the stupid cartoonish movie as their inspiration.
