It’s a reference to a line in a Stargate episode, uttered by a historian in reference to outdated medieval practices (specifically trepanning). If I have to make a point, it is that historical fiction about a specific time and culture should reflect the values and prejudices of the people and not be condemned for it.

That article reads like that other shitpiece that called Ghost of Tsushima racist for portraying Mongols as evil. Like, bruh. It wasn’t called “the dark ages” for a lack of sunlight.

…maybe it’s better that the Windows source code remain closed.

At the same time, I’d love to see the developers of the world glimpse at that eldritch cognitohazard and collectively go insane.
