Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

overly sarcastic productions

They're a YouTube channel that presents over views of different historical times in a fun way, as well as different chunks of media analysis.

Good for "I want 30 minutes of learning about some of the historical forces at play in the fall of the Byzantine empire, but I don't want to learn the intricacies of their tax collection hierarchy" type days.

More like "i want to be entertained"

This whole post is about WW2 (with a hint of greek mythology) and the acronym isn't for anything directly involved of any of that but a niche YouTube channel?

Acronyms need to be taken out back behind the shed and obliterated with a shotgun.

My angy-ness not withstanding, that sounds like it falls squarely into the first group mentioned in the image.

I really didn't read it as being specific to WW2 in the slightest, but just the different types of history enthusiasts.

Yeah, fair. That's on me for partially misremembering the post. Forgot there were so many other references.
