What are some other history topics ruined by their own fanbase? Byzantium, Russia, and Japan also seem like good examples.

You should find a profile view pic of Bismarck to shop in there otherwise it looks like chicky is fantasizing about cucking old Biz with some brunette lad.

But yes I feel your pain, your only course is to embrace your inner Nazi and consider them no more shameful than any other historical asshole.

I feel you, though I find it easier to ignore the wehraboos in the first place since I'm not white. Now anything to do with Islam? That's a shitshow, whether you run into WEWUZ'ing Islamists, 'muh pedophile warlord' Crusader LARPers, or 'do you mean stolen Greek/Zoroastrian science' ethnic nationalists.

There is literally nothing wrong with larping.

The crusades and larpers who think fighting migrants makes them a Knight Hospitaller

It's one thing for someone to cosplay an anime character for a weekend convention about a show I don't care about, and another for someone to shitpost with endless copy-pasta, infographics, 'Any questions?', and the same meme over and over again, especially when all I wanted to do was find a nice lecture, article, or discussion about 14th century Damascene Sufi saints and brotherhood lodges.

If your favourite historical period and place happens to be a historical 'bad guy' a mere century before they turned 'bad' then yeah you are the problem.

It also shows that you haven't read a lot of history. And that you're a brainlet if you pick favourite history based on how you can relate to the people, i.e. after industrialisation.

FUCKING NOOBS

By larping I mean actually living by the crusader philosophy and having the same goals of retaking God's land, not actual LARPing in the game sense. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that, and it's only current modernist society that discourages any sort of devotion to an actual ethos and goals that aren't liberal democracy.
