Well in the case of sailors or pirates back in those days...
They probably had a lot of fun trying to figure out whatever they saw in the ocean was a piece of land mass, a fish of mythological creature.
Those times it was impossible to tell because very little information existed about various sea creatures that roam the Atlantic ocean and so on... So whenever people saw weird looking fish like a manta ray of ocean sun fish they would probably imagine it as something extraordinary... Perhaps even eels or large squids had the same effect

Maybe even discovering new islands and stuff like that was fun for them too or haggling with pirates that tried to raid them.

Oo true. I guess exploration would have been pretty fun in the earlier day wihen majority of info hadn't been widely spread. We're spoiled now with a lot of this info being available for free these days. Of course it'd still be pretty fun to explore the ocean and see them fishies in person.

Pirate haggling just seems scary to me but they prob got a huge adrenaline rush from surviving an encounter with them. Damn. It still possible to experience this too in some parts of the globe but not something i'd like to experience myself :(

People saying that somebody was a shitty human being for being an abusive slaver is a pretty fucking low bar for virtue signalling.

Where exactly do you draw the line? Whats okay? Can we acknowledge that the holocaust was not very nice? Do we have to pretend to enjoy the company of sex offfenders?

Seriously, in what way is anybody here virtue signalling?

Let me ask you a question, all the good things you got in your life did they come to you because you're Italian? I'll tell you the answer, the answer is no. Did you get all that shit because you're Italian? No, you got it because you're you because you're smart because you're whatever the fuck. Where the fuck is our self esteem? That shit doesn't come from Columbus or The Godfather or Chef fucking Boyardee!

All the Columbus hate springing up recently is weird.
The only count of direct genocide I can think of is of the Canibs (Where we get the word "cannibal"), but that was in retribution:
Columbus loved the Taino people. So much so that he wrote in his journal something along the lines of "They are the greatest people I have ever encountered." When he came back on his...second voyage, I think? All the Tainos were killed or forced into sexual slavery by the Canibs. Enraged and wanting to free them, Columbus attacked the Canibs and killed most of them to free the Tainos (As mentioned in his journal and other primary accounts, the Canibs refused to surrender the Taino despite repeated attempts to negotiate). He even brought back one of the surviving Tainos to Spain to live out the rest of his life as a member of the high-society royal court.

This is why I'm always cautious of besmirching propaganda. Almost all of it never ends up being true and is just concocted to make people feel like they have a nonexistent cause to fight for against an equally nonexistent boogeyman :/ Like Columbus: every first- or third-party account of his exploits I've seen depicts him far from the racist or genocidal conqueror that's been going around. If anything, he was often reported as very curious and open to other cultures and their ways of life, unless it was a case like the Tainos and the Canibs.

But this is CE. Bunch of middle-aged individuals who need to be angry about something to give themselves purpose.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Along with:

"racist"
"homo/trans/etc.-phobic"
"rapist"
"genocide"
"bigot"

And many, many more that have no real effect any more.
