My pet peeve of the day, rekindled by Experiencing A Post: when people word things they find and repost as if the culture and areas they don't know about are long gone and ancient. This specific example is some dude reposting a video of horses running around on a beach in Indonesia, and calling it a "forgotten island" while there's a direct view of a well-maintained tourist spot in the background.

#it's like when you hear these supposed ''history buffs'' talk about Aztecs and Mayans #and treat it all like there's nothing left ever #when you could literally walk down the street RIGHT NOW and pass someone that's a direct descendant of both of those cultures #Nahuatl is still fucking spoken RIGHT NOW #like just say the names of the places don't go into detail Shush Be Quiet #You Sound Stupid #calling a blatantly populated area in a place that isn't Western-centric a ''forgotten island'' isn't a good look
