Mid 20s. Some kind of anarchist :anarchism:. Technically a UI/UX designer.

I make weird videos about politics in video games sometimes and put them on PeerTube, but not often. Hobbies include reverse engineering screenshots and inspecting elements.

Profile picture by @paraplyene over on the birdsite. Header is a drawing I made of a background from The Longest Journey, which is a good game, you should play it if you like point and click adventure games.

Will sometimes post or boost lewd stuff.

"Female 'Samurai'

While 'samurai' is a strictly masculine term, the Japanese bushi class (the social class samurai came from) did feature women who received similar training in martial arts and strategy. These women were called “Onna-Bugeisha,” and they were known to participate in combat along with their male counterparts. Their weapon of choice was usually the naginata, a spear with a curved, sword-like blade that was versatile, yet relatively light.

Since historical texts offer relatively few accounts of these female warriors (the traditional role of a Japanese noblewoman was more of a homemaker), we used to assume they were just a tiny minority. However, recent research indicates that Japanese women participated in battles quite a lot more often than history books admit. When remains from the site of the Battle of Senbon Matsubaru in 1580 were DNA-tested, 35 out of 105 bodies were female. Research on other sites has yielded similar results."

@didgebaba part of me finds it really cool but then another part of me remembers that samurai used to just randomly kill passer-bys for perceived slights, regularly got drunk and killed lots of people, raided and extorted villages and were just generally noble pieces of shit and their women counterparts were likely not that different 💀
