Full offense but I’m so fucking sick of those posts that are like “I hate war history and political history, I only want to read about real history like things about culture and food and textile history uwu” because…I’m extremely sorry some shitty men tried to act like weapon history was more important than anything else or laughed at you for being interested in fashion history but the truth of the matter is that if you don’t realize that war and political changes have a direct impact on litterally every single thing in a society, you’re not gonna be able to study any other aspect of history in a relevant way. It’s not like fashion, science and gastronomy develop in their own little bubbles with no impact from the outside world and it’s genuinely silly to act like they do. 

(Also I’m going to scream if I see another person implying that the only reason anyone could study WWII is because they’re creepy violent gun lovers. We live in a world where people’s knowledge of what actually happened during the Shoah is getting worst and worst by the years AND we’re currently facing a fascist uprising so yeah, y'all still need to hear about WWII.)

oh a good take
