Would caligula be considered a lolcow in today's standard? - and other historical lolcows..

[pedoguyguykrai]

So I'm bored and watching some historical documentaries, on my day off, and It occured to me as I watching a documentary on caligula, he could probably not only be insane, but a lolcow of his day.
As to why:

1. He had an incestous relationship with his sister to the point he lmao when she died he made her an official roman godess.
2. he married a pregnant woman and named the baby from that after his sister
3. he had a long standing war with posiden god of the sea.
4. he was a degenerate.

but idk, if it where the times, idk could he be a lolcow if such an indivdual existed in modern times?
also what other historical figures would be considered lolcows or fit the lolcow definition?

you forgot he had his harem of children called the little fishies.

If I remember that was the person before he became an emporer, tiberius he had a haram of young kids on capri.

 

[Lone MacReady]

At the very least he did battle with a God, Neptune, and won. He has the sea shell plunder to prove it.

Assuming all the shit that was written about him is true, yes. Assuming some of it was true and some of it was lies, yes. Assuming most of it was lies, no, the people who hated him so much they made up the stupidest bullshit to get at him would be.

Was that the one that made his horse a senator?

[MediocreMilt]

No, as a general rule, you're not a lolcow if you're the leader of a superpower.

I liked Malcom McDowell in that movie

but, For me, Caligula will always be John Hurt dancing. https://dai.ly/x2swvt8

Caligula was a land owner.

Land owners are not lolcows.

Apparently that machine never existed in reality so I wonder what drugs were they using to make this movie.

I feel like populist Emperors like Caligula and Calcala get the Trump treatment from historians.

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

According to the documentary Penthouse produced, yes.

 

[GayestFurryTrash]

Caligula was a land owner.

Land owners are not lolcows.

Drachenlord is a landowner.

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

Caligula and Poseidon?

Isn't Helen Mirren in that film?

the historiographical material on caligula is notoriously quite biased.
it is likely that he had mental problems but not at the levels described.
The horse thing for example was just a stunt to fuck with the senate.

This thread has been done before.

TBH, he seems pretty tame compared to the current load of troons and their SJW Enablers
