most infuriating part about the reconstruction era South was how unbelievably unwilling they were to do anything. Even up until in the 1960s there was nothing but southern white supremacist dragging their feet and throwing a tantrum every time people tried to put in policies that didn't have black people treated as less than human

It was literally up to a point that southerners who supported such extremist thoughts as "black suffrage" were called scallywags, and traitors to the nation. They genuinely seemed to believe that treating black men as anything more than slaves below a white man, was more than they deserved, and of course the north was happy to agree. Ever hear of the reconstruction act of 1867? It was the first of four acts set fourth to try and promote racial equality in the south, and you wanna know who tried to veto it? Andrew Johnson (not Jackson), the literal president of the United States fought tooth and nail to try and curb these practices.

If there was a shitty government, it's because Lincoln made the mistake of choosing him as his vice president. Initially it was a decent enough idea to pick a south sympathesizing vice president to show there were no hard feelings to the south, but then Lincoln got assassinated. So all there was was Andrew Johnson, making reconstruction as useless as possible.

Any regulations were nearly completely worthless, and of course only supervised by other whites, so you had stuff like state laws that said "sure you're not a slave anymore, but you're gonna get paid and worked like one"

Even as Black people finally got the right to vote, they were blamed by the south for doing such heinous things as voting for "governors who actually cared about giving them restitution for *being enslaved*" and this woe is me attitude continued all throughout reconstruction.

Ever hear of 'Birth of a Nation'? It's one of the most famous American movies, directly stated as such by the US government at the time, and also happens to be extremely racist and glorify this little known group known as the Ku-Klux-Klan. As criticized as they are now (and as they should be!) they were practically praised during the time period, for so nobley lynching those "dark-skinned savages, raping our innocent white women", and fighting against the aggressive north infringing the south's way of life.

Honestly the worst part about reconstruction era America was that eventually, the South won! Good ol President Hayes decided that failing to force the south to stop discriminating against black people wasn't working out, and decided to more or less officially end reconstructive attempts and try and unite the two divisions of America. Logistically this might have been seen as a good idea, but as the South was given a less firm watch, this directly led to Jim Crowe Laws

Suffrage? Forget about it, technically black people can vote sure, they just gotta answer this shit

Technically this is getting past reconstruction era, but it's as a direct result of the failure of it, and you can tell. They're not even trying to be subtle in weeding out the "less educated" people just trying to vote for a better future. And this happens with all manners of other things, jobs, segregation, all of it time and time again "technically" being allowed because it's easier than stopping them.

I could go on for more, but this is already pretty messy as is.

quick, you're being put in front of an audience and you have to give a lecture on literally any topic! you don't have to make it structured or even give context, you can just yell and rant into the mic for an hour! what is your topic of choice?

ACH, I'm going to be honest I meant to reply to this earlier but completely forgot

If I had to rant about anything it would probably be... Reconctruction era America, civil war is a bit to overdone to rant about without just devolving into sherman-posting. There's a lot to talk about when it comes to reconstitution era policies, and how even well intended policies went awry or weren't properly enforced.

In terms of something more fun... I could rant about about the fairies in lb6 in fact, did not deserve to die, and people are just looking for an easy target when they say so

shout out to all my not traditionally masculine trans guys:

to the ones who don’t feel comfortable calling themselves a man, so they’re always guys, dudes, or boys

to the ones who still love their old “girl” clothes, the skirts and dresses and bright colors

to the ones who love makeup and nail polish and perfume

to the ones who dont bind or dont pack; to the ones who like having the chests and junk they already have

to the ones who dont want hormones or surgeries

to the ones who shave their legs or dont like body and facial hair; to the ones who still have long hair

to the femboys and the fairies and the girlyboys

to the ones who have a high ambiguous voice and like it that way

to the ones with weird genders, complicated genders, fluid genders, non-conforming genders, genders they take so seriously, genders they can’t be bothered with

i love you so much <3 you are men after my own heart <3

I get mad at this every so often but I think back to the ending of Salem, and I am just floored by how dumb it is. There is this literal child, 12 year old girl, who is all kinds of messed up and going through trauma, and is given a chance to just be a normal child and live a normal life

And instead of going "Yes literal child, you deserve to have a normal life" we fucking, put the decision up to what she thinks is best, and make this little girl feel obligated to let the spirit of an elder god continue to possess her. She could have lived a happy life in 2014 Norway, but instead we have to deal with her occasionally trapping us in a dream realm and trying to kill us, because we let an Eldritch god possess her. It's so dumb

Literally who is complaining that Jeanne isn't a trained soldier? It's moreso complaining about her religious, bordering on militant, attitude was more or less completely ignored.

I hate that this is one of my fav fate designs but it's fucking Hoover

#me to nasu “hey can we have another American servant” #and then he was so offended he spat directly on me and put Hoover and Super Bunyan in the event

Liking old niche fire emblem characters can be hell sometimes, "Oh yeah I also love grief-stricken men who suicidally throw themselved into battle, my favorite example is Harken, who only exists in GBA sprites and official art that will not arouse strong feelings in you, his greatest fans include me because nobody else likes him" like please just kill me now

Nightingale I think works well as a berserker when you look into her historically, when she would do shit like bang on the door of the Quartermaster's room with a hammer when they wouldn't give her supplies.

Although now that you mention caster it is kind of funny how arbitrary it is. It's the only "support" class, so they have to either go "Well actually Leonardo Da Vinci knew magic" or just kinda slap Edison in there and ignore any questions about why he fits in the class.

I love seeing people justify weird berserker servant choices because it reveals how much of a nothing-burger of a class it is, frankly it's harder to find servants who wouldn't clarify for the class in some way

Especially with Nightingale, the class is just, very easy to justify yeah

Nightingale's reason is "the Throne didnt know what to class a woman who helped just for the sake of helping, so it shoved her into Berserker and that ruined her fcking life"

But even then, the caster class could have fit still. Aesclepius is there

And yeah, Aesclepius is from the age of gods soagic and blablabla

Then, by that logic, no modern-ish servant should be a caster and yet Geronimo, Helena and Edison are casters

So the Throne just wanted to troll Nightingale (?

There are some characters that make more sense as a berserker than others

And then theres ones that would be interesting to see because its like "oh i wasnt expecting that at all, i wonder how they fck them up"

Its a class that you wont really question and if theres silly stuff there its not really annoying for most to see, in comparison to the Avenger class, for example

#It's funny you bring up the Avenger comparison because I completely agree #it feels like the class has lost all meaning these days #in terms of fandom interpretation at the very least anyway
