Underrated thread, desu

No tbqh. It's a fictional era created by the Paradox video game series "Victoria" in order to drive up declining liquor sales among nerdy young adults.

There was an era when Queen Victoria ruled but you can forget everything you learned about it from fiction and pop-history.

Arguably it was the first "real" era, because it was the first one identified by it's inhabitants. The Victorians were very self conscious of being a new kind of civilisation and studied themselves scientifically and with an attempt at objectivity, they were the first really Modern society in that regard.

So it's a pit of sleaze hidden by a layer of carved ivory?

Yes, it was a Gilded Age. As in, it was an age of pure shit painted with a thin layer of gold leaf. If you weren't part of the super rich aristocracy your life was worse than ever.

Yeah, when people complain about how tweens are sexually active I show them diary entries and stuff about children having sex in the gutter.
Also I'm p. sure the middle class was doing well too.

What diary entries or stuff would that be? I'd be interested in reading them.

>>1590921
I'm sure most people have seen it by now, but in case you've missed the latest hit conspiracy here it is.
