Alexander had three wives and a fuckbuddy. He was pretty damn depraved.

>>92110347
Well now I'm glad Aristotle poisoned him.

He was also a pretty boy who led his men by making them fall in love with him, and his experienced generals did most of the tactical prowess of his army.

Dont forget his hateboner/rivalry with Darius and the utter assfucking of Egypt

But most of all don't forget NEAR TO THE EAST, IN A PART OF ANCIENT GREECE, IN AN ANCIENT LAND, CALLED MACEDOOOONIA

Can someone explain why Alexander was bad? What was the downside?

>>92112270

Cracked one too many eggs for his omelette.

Only some complain, just like how only the anglosphere thinks empires are bad.

>>92109687
I seriously doubt that's the reason.

What we call homosexual acts were very common in many places in the past. It was common among the samurai class, for example, to engage in same-sex sexual activities, especially between a younger man and an older male mentor. Yet there are gazillions of samurai shows, they just don't mention this aspect of the reality.

I like how every 5 years Ancient Greece gets gayer. It used to be "Homosexuality wasn't taboo.", then it became "Just about every greek guy was pegging 6 year olds", and now "They had buttsex before EVERY battle!"

One of these days someone needs to sit down and write the book on ancient greeks and homosexuality so we will know what they actually did.

You might be surprised to learn that many books and papers have been read on this subject already. You seem to be learning history from retarded memes you read online which exaggerate and distort everything by nature.

tl;dr of the reality is that the ancient Greeks and Romans did not have our ideas of "homsexual" or "heterosexual" and acts between people of the same sex were a more common part of their societies that didn't carry the taboos or meanings our society associates with them.

A man having sex with a boy or younger man was just something that people did, it wasn't a sexual identity or taboo.

How the fuck did you not know this? Alexander's love for Hephaestion is well-documented.

Also, Achilles was transgender.

Maybe a good way of putting it is that our modern ideas of sexual behavior center around identity: you are a homosexual or a heterosexual because of who you have sex with.

For many societies their ideas about sexuality weren't about identity but about the acts themselves, often in relation to the greater social hierarchy.

So for the ancient Romans it wasn't about hetero or homo, it was about whether you were the one in the position of authority or not. Being a "top" was fine, being a "bottom" was less fine. Being a "bottom" to someone lower than your own social status was very shameful and taboo For example, if it were known that you, a man, let a male slave fuck you you would be ridiculed and lose status, but if you fucked a male slave it's not really a big deal. Interestingly oral sex was considered by the Romans to be very subservient so that a man eating out a woman was extremely shameful because it involved the man lowering himself below the woman.

It's because for Romans the mouth was a sacred part, it was the organ of speech, and speech and oratory were deemed to be one of the main virtues. Mumbling, speaking softly or without confidence were seen as terrible traits.
