yes. it's retarded that someone would commit suicide over having their hair cut off
Charles Wilson
No, it's a fantasy.
Jack Green
im sure some autists took it seriously, but mostly it was a tool of control.
Samuel Nelson
It was enforced by the state so they wouldn't have any more warring state periods
Evan Ortiz
A chance to kill myself and be remember honorably? Sounds like a really good deal.
Aiden Carter
no
honor still a big thing in patriarchal societies
Ayden Parker
Bushido was made up after the fact to romanticize samurai and not remember them as thugs for warlords, just like chivalry in the West.

You sound like a massive limp wristed simp.

>noooo you can't criticize my samurinos
Xavier Myers
You're criticizing warrior culture which is prime simp behavior.
Wyatt Anderson
>chivalry
>lets you take peasant women on a whim
sorta based
Leo Powell
>prime simp behavior
So that word doesn't have any real definition anymore?
Juan Watson
This, you can't control a warrior caste by force, so they used a code so idiotic the Portuguese and Spaniards had problems explaining it when they came back after some small conflict they had. And it's not like Spaniards and Portuguese weren't obsessed with honor too.
Isaiah Lewis
samurai culture was gay, by design
Wyatt Brooks
You know exactly what I mean, you'd rather cut your balls off than enjoy masculine things for once in your life.
Blake Murphy
A far cry from the aids we have to deal with today.
Christian Green
non-sequitur but ok
Saikaku claimed that heaven and earth in Japanese mythology are bound in the same way that two male lovers are bound. Women managed to capture the attention of men since the creation of the world, he added, but they were no more than an amusement to retired old men, and there was no way that women can be worthy enough to be compared to handsome youth.
Angel Flores
I can enjoy masculine things without needing to lie about it. They were brutal warriors who raped, cheated, and stole. It was pretty based.
Jacob Foster
So you disregard the whole culture due to homosexual facets, while I agree with you, queers should fucking hang. It's not a good enough reason to dismiss it entirely. Same thing with the Greeks.
William Cox
prove it

Honor amongst thieves and murderers is always a façade.
Aaron Thompson
No, I'm making the point that hyper-masculine cultures have a lot of intersection with homosexuality.
Cameron Bell
there is nothing wrong with fucking twinks
Adam Collins
whatever you say, fag
Thomas Campbell
great it's *this* thread again
shit never gets old
Christopher Cruz
Doesn't mean I praise the homosexual values of said societies. It isn't a zero sum game you know?
Brayden Johnson
You should.
Having sex with your muscle bros is dope.
Jaxson Bailey
M8 just look at what the Japs did in WW2.
Mass rape, cannibalism, genocide, torture.
Absolute psychopaths.
Lincoln Cox
Read somewhere that Bushido was ironically influenced by Confucianism imported from China rather than Shinto-Buddhism as is usually believed.
