Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I know a lot of people who are interested in the Victorian era, and honestly, they're not for disenfranchising POC and ignoring the problems of the era. If anything, they're very much for studying them and talking about them. And actually, a friend of mine (who's asian) studies and discusses POC in the Victorian era.

I'm not saying this is the same thing, I'm just saying (as a response to some of the other comments in this thread) not all Victorian enthusiasts are upper class snobs who miss the days of white supremacy. They also are fully aware that as women, they would've been way worse off.

Hey that's cool! I wish more of the people I know who are into it were like the people you know, heh.

On the plus side, the people I know aren't so much lamenting the loss of racial and class supremacy as they're unaware of a lot of the problems of the era, and don't really want to think or learn about them.

AYRT - Yeah, apparently we know very different steampunkers. :/ The ones I know are very aware of those things.But they're also well-read and interested in history, not the pretties, you know?

The ones around me are definitely a lot more interested in the pretties. It is a sad state of affairs. :(

AYRT - I have a feeling they think the Renaissance Festival is an accurate portrayal of Renaissance society. :/

I find it hard to believe that they aren't ignorant/apathetic about contemporary race/class issues either.

DA

That's a long, long leap.

Maybe. I'm cynical from experience.

Just curious, what do they think of the colonialist imagery/fashion associated with a lot of steampunk?

AYRT - I'm actually not sure. I believe one tends to focus more on the actual traditional outfits of those cultures (rather than colonialist appropriation). Not sure about the others.
