@RobertL89659574 Was it mercy or just good business sense? Or both? 😂

No.

@itsmissme1 I could recommend a few games...

Whats the best P*rn site to visit as a beginner?

@SimplyShae13 I dare you to recreate this image.

Aw. Was it hard learning how to type? Take a lot of practice? Did it hurt your fingies?

@Rinartts Also no TRUE SCOTTSMAN!

For the last time there’s no such thing as an AI “Artist”. No Artist uses AI.

@grok @JohanCarnisRex @lordvictor Where is the story about Perseus's father-in-law-to-be asking for Medusa's head as a wedding gift?

According to Hesiod's *Theogony* (lines ~274-280), Perseus "cut off her head" — no motive, quest, or justification is given at all. Medusa is called the Gorgon "who suffered a woeful fate," noted as the only mortal one (her sisters immortal), with Poseidon having lain with her beforehand. From her neck sprang Pegasus and Chrysaor. The full Polydectes/quest story is later.

Why are women obsessed with Medusa not being a villain?

@LordTash2 @Chomag77 @lordvictor The Roman version is entertaining for sure. I can see why people fixate on it.

@JohanCarnisRex @lordvictor "hero" didn't mean doer of good in ancient usage. @grok why did Perseus kill Medusa according to Hesiod?

To kill, I believe it was Ceto the sea monster and save said Father In Law’s Daughter…which I’m assuming Medusa would have been unwilling to do…which implies she wasn’t really keen on helping anyone, and heroes in the past had gone to slay her, further implying they had a reason to do so, meaning neither innocent nor victim.

Mostly correct. The gorgons were monsterous and fierce. They were used as symbols to ward off evil. The victimhood of Medusa is implied in Hesiod. He mentions her being killed by Perseus but mentions no righteous justification for it. As far as we know, Perseus did it because his father in law asked him to.

@deepglugs @lordvictor The irony is that the earliest depictions(like your OG) she was a monster. Only later depictions called her beautiful, and it was only the Roman story that made her out to be a victim.

I hate having to go to definitions but... A villain is a malicious person or fictional character who deliberately commits evil acts, breaks the law, or serves as the primary antagonist opposing a story's hero. If you do no evil, you are not evil and cannot be a villian by definition. You are trying to use a bizzare definition of villian that only you hold on to (like your little cock when you wank)

@deepglugs @lordvictor and they aren’t villainized…..nor illegal to have in states…..hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm seems like again you’ve lost. I don’t think any animal is villainous but you picked the age old choice they use for THEE angry dog breed. you’re fucking slow

@RealKrissy275 @lordvictor It's not just me. It's the data. The gorgons were scary until the 5th century BCE where even that changed. They were never considered "evil" by any data I'm aware of. You are otherwise correct about the monsterous part.

@moestopthat @lordvictor pitbulls are bread for protection. You are deranged.

@deepglugs @lordvictor using pit bulls as an example is so funny because you picked the one dog breed that is 100% villainized you fucking moron 😭😭😭😭 this response just lost you the argument i was gonna let it go LMFAO

@moestopthat @lordvictor oh, so you are not talking about actual data that reflects reality or backs up your claims. "because she’s normally viewed as a villain?" Incorrect. Historically, there is no data that supports this.

@deepglugs @lordvictor listen history buff i’m fucking talking about cartoons/animations/movies. i don’t need to be explained what happened in the fucking odessy as i don’t give a fuck lmao

@moestopthat @lordvictor Being fiersome is the same as being a villian? You failed villain school didn't you? All the gods were fiersome, but they didn't look such. The gorgons looked fierce, which is why they were used to ward off evil. Are pitbulls villianous? They sure are fierce to enemies.

@deepglugs @lordvictor you saying she’s not viewed as a villain and then giving examples as to where she was viewed as a villain….which could be the soul reason people know her….lets use our brains

WRONG. Hesiod doesn't describe her as a villian. Homer doesn't either. In the 5th centuries BCE, they even started portraying the gorgons as less "terrible" looking. I don't know of a single ancient source where any of the gorgons are "villians". You don't use a villian to ward off evil.

@deepglugs @lordvictor again she’s still been portrayed as a villain so the one of few times she isn’t everyone needs a dissertation on why it makes sense lmfao AGAIN it’s just people being happy she isn’t consistently villainized lmao

@ElriktheIcewoof @lordvictor I like this version of the myth. It came much later, but it fits with the gods being rather jelous.

@lordvictor Because her only crime was being more beautiful than a goddess. That is all

Please check your sources. This is incorrect. The gorgons were "terrible" and "fierce" but not considered "evil". They were used symbolically to ward off evil. They made coins with the gorgon head on them and Athena had a shield with the Gorgon head. I don't think the gorgons were considered evil until fairly recently.

@lordvictor The original mythology is she was born an evil monster. A roman poet retold the story to she was a rape victim for his story and feminists chose to say that was the OG to push a stupid all men are bad argument

@moestopthat @lordvictor But she's never viewed as a villain outside of DC comics and the Clash of the Titans (both versions). The visage of the gorgon was a symbol to ward off evil. Athena had a shield with a gorgon head and coins were made with the gorgon. Not exactly something you do for a villian

@lordvictor because she’s normally viewed as a villain? did you have to leave the class during tests??

There is no myth of Medusa or any of the gorgon being "evil". They are grim and fierce (as is the root of the word gorgon), but never described as evil. In fact, they were used as wards against evil. Athena had a gorgon visage on her shield and coins were made with gorgon heads on them.

@lordvictor Medusa wasn't "raped by Poseidon." it was Neptune who did it, because the "raped by Neptune" story is from Roman adaptations of the original greek mythology. Originally she was a primeval gorgon and pure evil. Even in the Ovid version where she's a victim she behaves monstrous.

@godofwrath21 @lordvictor The turning people to stone was also a later development. Hesiod doesn't mention it.

@lordvictor Their stupid asses are always going by the late Roman version of her being raped by Poseidon. Medusa was born a Gorgon. She wasn't inherently evil, but her gaze turned anyone to stone. She couldn't control it.
