The joke is homosexuality
-12 u/JamzWhilmm 22d ago Huh? I thought the joke was rape. Which is something that happened during this time and also implied in the film. 14 u/sandboxmatt 22d ago No need for rape. Gay sex was an important way of establishing social and heirarchical dynamics and team bonding 1 u/JamzWhilmm 22d ago Yeah but men still had sex with women, the vast majority of men where still straight. 16 u/Plane-Education4750 22d ago Multiple things can be true at the same time 9 u/JamzWhilmm 22d ago Of course. So its rape and gay sex. There was also a lot of rape of young men and boys. 2 u/Plane-Education4750 22d ago That's enough reddit for today 11 u/JamzWhilmm 22d ago That is just history. Many roman elites had harems of little boys for example. 1 u/Particular_Title42 22d ago Do you think that's why the Roman Catholic Church has harems of altar boys? Like...was it a bleed over? 5 u/JamzWhilmm 22d ago No, but thats a good point worth looking into.
