Why do so many "medieval re-enactors" and enthusiasts always ignore that the Catholic Church controlled every aspect of people's lives, the existence of slavery, and there was no such thing as freedom of speech, freedom of belief, or expression? They believe in some feelgood Hollywood version of history instead. If these people actually were unironic serious flat earth Catholic wahhabists who wanted to go back to the dark ages that would be pretty based. But they're not though. They're cringe as fuck and most of them are as left wing as it gets.

because it's fun you aspergite
its a bit of fun at the weekend, chill.
uhhhhhhhhhh
actually .............
those period outfits are NOT from the dark ages.
It's a renaissance fair so set at the end of the dark ages
It’s the renaissance fair not dark ages fair
It's a Renaissance fair, cool it with the autism.
How do you know "medieval re-enactors" lol
Anyone who dresses up like this or even worse as video game characters at Comic Con or whatever and actually spends money on this stuff and LARPS is a a huge faggot and deserves to get shot in the face with an AR-15
if you do not shut ur fat face im gonna go dark ages on you. im talking 572 AD. the real deal pain train
renaissance, not medieval. Although most of these faires let people do both. It's just fun.
and if OP and don't support this youre not supporting White culture and White history and are probably jews and should KYS.
i always kind of thought a medieval fair would be cool too. like, monks everywhere, a plague cart can ferry you to and from the parking lot, and pepper is really fucking expensive
I just want to eat my turkey leg you fucking weirdo.
Also, you'd have a lot of fun if you took a week to stitch yourself an XXL Martin Luther cosplay and fucked off to the renn fair- it's already a jumble of time periods from 1200-1700
leave them alone, they are just playing
>the Catholic Church controlled every aspect of people's lives
It didn't. Virtually every country fought with the Pope and the Germans basically made it a tradition to cross the alps and beat the shit out of the Pope. And the regional churches were blended with local administration enough to make it not more oppressive than a general secular government.
whatever man. I know you guys just like to talk shit here but I'm honestly trying to help. If you like playing dress up so bad you're fucking weird.
>See people playing dress up
>See them play dress up as peasants from 1600 years ago
>Think that is retarded and a waste of money and time
>"He must love jews"
Gotta love Any Forums these days. Really insightful there, slugger
Pretty sure its just a bunch of fat people embarassing themselves but not sure I wouldn't step foot near one
>medieval times
>the existence of slavery
Serfdom actually. There weren’t piles of niggers crowding into Europe back then. You would have to go to Scandinavia or far to the East in Russia for proper slaves and even then they were white.
you are such a faggot
>not going just to slam mead all day and stare at weird sluts
you're doing it wrong
Your question is spergy but you raise a great point. Medieval Europeans were generally very serious Catholics who would be disgusted with the ways and norms of this age, and anyone who wishes to seriously reenact that ought to understand it and portray it as such. And that is easiest to do if you already believe like a medieval Catholic would.
But to answer your question directly, its definitely that these people played a lot of D&D, a lot of fantasy LARPs, and then they want to act like they're real medievals for a little while but still bring their modern idiocy with them.
They do have much more historically accurate LARP camps for spergs who do all their own leatherworking and want to sit in a damp field eating porridge and talking about Historical European Martial Arts, I have an in-law who does that shit.
Look for "re-enactments" instead of fairs/festivals.
"ren faires" suck ass
>fat fuck women everywhere with their disgusting udders in corsets thinking they look good
>expensive everything - parking, food, beer
>not very entertaining when everyone is a fat fuck comicon larper
One of the hottest and youngest (at time she was 19, I was 30) girls I've ever fucked was into medieval fairs. Absolute freak.
Why would you need freedom of speach, belief or expression when you are catholic?
But if you really wanted them you could have moved to Poland. Here sometimes the same family had a guy who was a catholic bishop, another one who was ortodox and a third who was grecocatholic.
Look they choose to wear fancy shit the week end and larp as their forefather while you go to the stand and larp as we wuz people and shit. Live and let live
You just go to get drunk and pick up chicks. I always find it hilarious that women there always say "can you believe the women back then would wear these cossets all the time, must of been so uncomfortable" when they themselves will wear it at every opportunity because it pushes their tits up
and for as historically accurate as these fat fucks want to be, they ALL bent the knee and wore muzzles and went full chinkflu
>muh corset, muh oppression from the male gaze
>will not date a man under 6 foot 2, because of here 12" stilletos, which disfigure her feet by the age of 16.
It skews a bit fatter than the general populace, but go to one in a thin state to see hot women in costume.
You can sneak enough booze to give yourself alcohol poisoning if you make your flask part of your costume, have a breakfast beforehand.
Make sure they have at least one decent traveling act- Arsene of Paris, Carillion bells, an exotic animal act, a decent hypnotist- to get your money's worth there should be at least two shows worth going to.
LOL I know a re-enactor that always shown up as a friar trying to get the good word to the heathens at local viking festivals.
Tudor clothes are exemplary.
I'll shoot your prostate with my jizz, you curr.
The thing is that guy is probably only doing it "ironically". A Muslim Dark Ager isn't being ironic. Why can't Christianity have those types?
I'll force you to sukkk me off with a duck or goose stuffed inside your poopy hole.
Real fancy like'
