If “loving women” means raping them and taking them as sex slaves then sure.
Narrator voice: the Spaniards did not, in fact, “love” brown women.
(It took about forty years after contact for the church to declare indigenous people as actually human with the ‘Sublimis Deus’ papal bull in 1537.)
I’m surprised it didn’t take longer.
I’ve seen this posted a few places and there’s amazing number of people who aren’t able to pick up on it. For the first frame no it’s not really MSG people. It’s a British person selling opium to Chinese kids. They’re tricking them. They’re British it’s what they do. For the second frame I’m deeply concerned about how many people aren’t able to read the facial expression and body language of the two native women. Somehow some of y’all looked at them and thought yeah they seem happy despite the frowning faces and sad looks on their face. It’s implying the rape.
Drug pedaling Brits and rapacious conquistadors. That’s the message of this comic. Media literacy not at a high it seems
they should give the indigenous women knives
It’s because it’s a fucking gross depiction. Everyone gets that.
It’s also the weirdest mix of historical innaccuracy and self censorship.
Centurii-chan has really captured the market on gooners that celebrate these things. The artist does it all on commissions and the requests they recieve indicate their market is genuinely into that sort of thing.
Having this be a commissioned piece certainly explains the weird MSG line.
Clearly not enough people get that.
pretty gross whitewash of the rape, torture and enslavement of many thousands of women by colonizers
Yeah,that post wasn’t even funny by 4chan standards.
I’m pretty sure that the second page is depicting the scene before the rape takes part, both natives look displeased because they were forced to be there. And the left one could be a kid.
Idk what’s being whitewashed in this metaphorical rape illustration tbh.

kilgore_trout and njm1324 we see you
Let’s not weaponize people’s votes, thanks. Probably the single worst “feature” added to Lemmy.
It has it’s used but most of them are bad
sorry what?
Given NJM’s comment I can fully understand his downvoting. People can disagree with your comment for more than one reason.
And all of the straight up genocide.
I don’t think I understand the first slide. The Japanese invented MSG.
Some nations like the British colonized and conquered by fucking with the people. The other end of the spectrum, Spain and others just fucked the people.
Wrong. The Spaniards did a lot of murder.
Funnily enough a pretty large portion of Robinson Crusoe is about how superior the British colonial method is because healthy slaves make more money.
Yes, but that doesn’t explain the MSG in the baggie
Opium
Tho why they don’t spell it out, idk
I thought it was referring to the Opium Wars
Dunno how you get that. MSG has nothing to do with opium.
Do you not understand the concept of “lying?” The comic is showing the British person selling drugs and calling it MSG. It isn’t actually MSG. 🤦♂️
The french name for this is “café au lait” (for the french).
