@tomie Instead of thinking "Wow, these people are evil" I think "Wow, the writers are lousy"

Now if you will excuse me, I have some puppies I need to kick

@applejack well, you have to excuse them as they're writing straight from the 1942 when the enemy was crystal clear and the patriotic spirits were high, plus if you're not writing propaganda, then you're likely not writing at all

@tomie @applejack propaganda was the only way you were allowed to be an artist.

@tomie @applejack of course there are exceptions that I refuse to believe they're propaganda but they were called that to get by

"mein führer, I'm going to build sculptures of barely clothed muscular men?"

"To promote the ideal Aryan male form?"

"Yeeeees?"

(It's pretty homoerotic tbh)

@tomie @applejack

"how will we show the sino-soviet brotherhood?"

The ussr for some reason: "it's totally not yaoi and lesbians bro we promise"

@picandor @applejack ah, the ussr, the nation of men-kissers

@tomie @applejack Soviet "friendship" kiss

@tomie @applejack they literally said "hello comrades it's yaoi/yuri time!" and I respect that

@picandor @applejack I completely and fully relate to the (or should I say Der) führer being pissed off about his art being rejected in favor of the bad kind of degenerate art
