Why are geeks obsessed with middle ages? Like knights and shit??

Wouldn't say I obsessed by it but I listen to a few history podcasts that go into the middle ages and slightly beyond.

When I am having a piss I can see a manor house dating from Elizabethan times and when I look out the front a church dating back to the 11th century with parts still standing from then. Road names and place names dating back to the past all around me so learning about why and how it all came to be feels natural.

Yusuf Qumia, a supposed veteran of the Sultans camel-corps (but his records were called out by an investigation made by Imam Bilal Gilgore).

Are there stories where niggers are a slave race and kikes are ostracized moneylenders? If so I will become a devoted high fantasy fan.


You can capture and sell and buy slaves of a certain ethnic origin. You can also go around and pillage (and rape) anything you want while roleplaying that you were once a stinky peasant but you were so alpha you became a swordsman.

For real? I thought games weren't allowed to do anything like that anymore.
I mean, you can take anyone as a slave, and to be honest it's a little pozzed, like they have really weird gender equality for a game that's in the middle ages.

Think of it as an arcade-y experience. Sure somehow hundreds of years ago they apparently reached gender and racial equality, but nothing says you can't enforce your beliefs.
