also wait six is literally all about holding shit that happened five hundred years ago to modern moral standards and realizing “holy shit, this was not okay”. if you’re gonna engage with a piece of media where that is literally the premise of the entire show, you don’t get to opt out of applying that mindset to other moral issues that come up in regards to it’s subjects

#redlady speaks #six the musical #you know what was also okay during the renaissance? child marriage and grooming #you can't be like 'holy fuck aywd is so sad'#and then turn around and say that slavery was okay in some forms because that was just normal for the time/not 'as bad' as it would get #king john's wife isabelle of angouleme was /12/ when he abducted and married her #but that doesn't mean we give howard's abusers a free pass because their target was older than isabelle and what they did was legal atm
