But recognition that Japanese media actually still writes stories instead of woke shit?
We have really only seen the local church
So I am withholding judgment on the rest of it
Until such time as we see more
Castlevania's church is based off the Romanian Orthodox Church during the 13th century which was very Deus Vult/burn the heretic
Japan is tolerable
They farm melons using concentrated autism, have serious problems with social structure, and have absolutely no taste in leadership
But they're the logitech mouse of animation and have a neat spirituality to them
Weren't they mostly dealing with muslims at the time, though?
Yes
Muslims are heretics
So Deus lo Vult
Oh
Yeah
I did a cursory read over Vlad a while ago
Holy shit, Wallachia was brutal
Was _not_ just Vlad
Most of history is pretty damn brutal.
In most places.
Wallachia in the netflix adaptation is tame
The peasants would get you if the church didn't
We live in an era where the average person is alarmingly tolerant of being fucked with.
You show you have knowledge not sanctioned by the church you would be a witch
So
Eh, I can see it going too far with it later on
Again, I am withholding further judgment for time being, considering that we have seen only a small portion of it
is the zootopia abortion comic too spicy for this server?
The heck
I'm less familiar specifically with how it operated in romania, but in elsewhere, the church tended to be pretty tolerant of scientists and such. The main ones who the church came down on, it was more a consequence of something equivalent to insubordination, rather than any specific thing they said regarding the natural world.
Funny thing though, medical knowledge known since paganism in the area was tolerated while knowledge from ancient greece and rome were not
Wallachia was literally the frontline against Turkish invasion at that point in time
Like, making assertions that theories which didn't conform to canon were absolutely and indisputably true, while mocking the pope, and calling him a stupid head.
Though the 4 humors were still practiced as the church approved of it
Publicly
By contrast, elsewhere, Europe was actually opening up more to alternative ideas, science and the like at the time
They didn't have to fight Turks
And even then, they didn't generally *burn* the books containing those theories. Because they were still fascinating and useful, even while punishing the people who made them for defying the church.
Not true
Yeah, and the late 15th century and early 16th is when the Italian Renaissance got into swing
Ideas began taking route
Book burnings are responsible for great loss of knowledge during the proverbial dark ages
I mean
The Catholics burnt _people_ for such during the Catholic-Protestant wars
are we still discussing Castlevania?
Kinda
They locked people up for suggesting the universe was infinite and didn't revolve around the earth
Discussing the context surrounding it and possibly explaining some of its questionable elements
