is there a reason why medieval simulator games attract the incel right wing crowds so much?

Would be good bait at the usual busy hours.
You missed the part where bannerlord took place in a fictional world
Also kys incel freak

Pathetic. No one is forcing you to install this mod

Medieval thoughts.
why do you care
Does free speech offend you?
Misconception that the further back in history you go, the more women are repressed and well behaved. Young men who feel like outcasts seek the affection of female figures in their lives but cannot earn that affection through conventional means, and thus feel a desire to control women to force their affectations. The medieval period, to them, is all about controlling women, which aligns with the only remaining avenue for sexual conquest.
Also the modern concept of a medieval knight aligns with the right-wing concept of self improvement and self-determination (even though historically knights were not bestowed power through divine right and family connections, and almost never earned it.)
It's kind of a fitting parallel for how right wingers feel that powerful businessmen earned their positions when most of the time they are given them. There's some really interesting literature about this stuff, i'd recommend looking into it.
100% he has a snipped cock.
How is self improvement a "right-wing concept"?
He doesn't understand that fapping to eventual submission of a strong woman is hotter than women being meek and subservient.
Not self improvement per se, but more focusing solely on the improving oneself and one's own living situation with literal regard for other people. I'm also not saying that that's a necessarily bad thing by the way, just that left wing ideology tends to be more about the collective, and right wing ideology tends to be more about the individual.
Not him but seems "completely missing the point" is pretty "American right-wing".
It's fine to have mods to meet specific interests, no one is forcing you to play it.
That aside, I wish these realistic historical settings would include shit like the Ottoman Imperial Harem, cut-throat politics between women isn't very common and when it is it's handled poorly.
You don't have to be an incel to cringe at modern women and identity politics.
Left wingers like to larp about historic revolutions and how they will eat the rich and guillotine bourgeois sympathizers and right wingers larp about historic glory.
Seems like afair game neither of them bother me, it's mostly just larping
Pretending that women in those days were all submissive doormats is just as retarded as believing they were all strong independent women who don't need no men. Also the 'women = weak' thing was utter bullshit for lower class women who were expected to work the fields and things just like their husbands.
There was one concubine who kept dead sultan's body hidden in ice in her quarters for days while concealing his dead to make sure her eldest son had time to consolidate power for ensuing power struggle. Intrigue game in setting like that could be great.
He has a point, I remember the female companions in Mountain Blade being huge whiny cunts. To be fair, all the companions were whiny cunts but the women were usually bitching about men.
>*sips cheap red wine from a plastic skull shaped mug*
>ahh, medieval times - which I haven't lived through nor know nothing about - those were the days
Seriously, it's pretty radical shit. Hopefully someone will do it some day.
Crusader Kings 3 had to remove all mentions of “deus vult” despite being a game centred around crusades.
>female followers talk like angry feminists
I don't even read anything the NPC are saying anymore, who cares.
Fake news.
What literature do you recommend?
> Conservatism: Dream and Reality
Interesting book by a sociologist who died in 1996. A little old, but stil very worthwhile. A good introduction to historical thinking on conservatism, since he talks about the conservative ideology in the context of religious, economic, and legal contexts as well as political.
> Whose Middle Ages? Teachable Moments for an Ill-Used Past
Focuses on modern misconceptions of the middle ages and how these misconceptiosn have been politicised and ingrained in modern pop culture. A bit more pulpy than some of the other books I mention here, but it's a good read and it's not too long so you can get through it in a good weekend.
> Far-Right Revisionism and the End of History: Alt/Histories
This one's a bit more explicitly anti-conservative. Makes a few logical leaps here and there, and there's some author bias going on, especially in some of the references to modern day politics, but if you can pick through that, it's got some well-researched stuff about identity politics throughout history.
> The Medieval Manuscript Book
Quite dry, but really if you want to know how we know what we know about the medieval period, this is a good book to dip into to make your own assumptions. It provides cultural context and is fairly apolitical, so it's a good foundational text to look at.
Some people here might recommend you read "Middle Rages" by Milo Yiannopoulos and if you want an ultra pro-right interpretation of history you could read it, but his book is just completely bollocks and has very little referencing; he basically just rants about lefties for the entire thing and makes a lot of factual errors based on the same misconceptions some of the other books I've listed here point out. I would avoid it, but if you're a really ardent conservative maybe you'll find something of value there.
The greatest story never told
Dead accurate news , they removed the phrase Deus Vult from a game about the fucking crusades
They didn't, actually. They're considering it, but haven't made a decisiona bout it. RockPaperCuckgun made a listicle where they said there's no Deus Vult, and the game director Henrik Fåhraeus responded saying:
> “I feel like this issue has been miscommunicated thus far. We have not specifically considered which terms are used in the game apart from making sense in the historical context. The team will decide how any text fits or does not fit into CK3 in a way that feels appropriate.”
NOOOOO NOT THE HECKIN WOMYNERINOS!!!!!!!!!!!
The pathetic attempt to get that insult into common vernacular, and the complete failure of those that use it never fails to amuse me.
They dream of a time when just their sex was enough.
>book by a sociologist
He sounds like a real authority on history
> Whose Middle Ages? Teachable Moments for an Ill-Used Past
> Far-Right Revisionism and the End of History: Alt/Histories
Sounds like the authors definitely didn't have any sort of preconceived notions about the subject they were writing about.
This is honestly the best you can do against literally hundreds of years of historians recording/studying the medieval times and the social order? Pathetic. I bet you unironically believe in smallpox blankets genociding 900 million natives, too
A political identity is not a personality.
No, it is not.
Bait, reverse troll thread, etc.
I made the same complaint, btw.

>Misconception that the further back in history you go, the more women are repressed and well behaved.
That's not a misconception outside of the scale you're implying. Women were more docile and complacent in the past. However, that past wasn't all that long ago. The "modern" woman isn't a natural thing. Much like the Soi Boi effeminate man isn't a natural thing, either.
>Young men who feel like outcasts seek the affection of female figures in their lives but cannot earn that affection through conventional means, and thus feel a desire to control women to force their affectations.
More like young men noticing their sexual peers are mentally deficient and emotionally stunted to an extreme degree. Far more than they should be given what they've seen of their mothers and grandmothers.
>even though historically knights were not bestowed power through divine right and family connections, and almost never earned it.
This is also wrong, but given your general ignorance and unsurprising conclusion. Knighthood was always earned, but not always an available option. And, truly most people wouldn't have wanted to be knights. They were hard ass motherfuckers that stabbed each other for recreation.
