Except it was the Athenians who were misogynistically homosexual, and apparently also ageist as well.
As far as I understand it, we guess at this because the Spartans didn't write much but the Athenians wrote a lot, including making fun of them for things like: not being Saudi Arabia/Iran towards women and such other outrageous concepts like respecting your elders.
Also Thebes had a lot of reason to hate Sparta. Among them was that those 300 famous Spartans were accompanied by several thousands of Thebians who were put in largely sacrificial positions to better save Spartan lives.
Aha! The standard strategy of making the opponent both very strong, to explain why they are winning and need being fought as being the weaker one at the same time because the gays are obviously inferior.
Same rethoric the nazis used against the Jews. Strong enough to own all capital and influence the entire world behind the scenes ánd obviously an inferior type of people without spine.
If the US is making “super soldiers” by forcing them to be gay, wouldn’t that make being gay a positive? I don’t understand how even the target audience could take this seriously. You’re basically saying you have to be gay to be a strong super soldier.
Yeah it’s really not on brand with their usual message about how gay men are going to cause the fall of western civilization by being all feminine and weak something something cultural marxism…
I think the toxic masculinity has started feeding on itself like a snake eating it’s own tail.
Other posters have already mentioned it, but the idea of using homosexuality as means to produce super-soldiers is tried-and-true, and goes way, way back:
