"it's possible that himaruya just had not researched it fully" That's what I thought since the main topic at hand was Rome and his surroundings. Since the Empire was clashing with the Parthians & Sassanids, obviously, Hima had to put Persia in the equation. Still, I'm gonna add more to stirringwind's post and say Persia/Iran had more like siblings than grandsons, just like China refers to any nation under the sinosphere as his younger siblings. Anyway, I'm pretty sure he's going to correct that once he realizes the info doesn't match up.
Yeah I realize getting back on LJ/Dreamwidth is nearly impossible since everybody is hokked on Tumblr under shades of sj. Undertale and Star Wars fandms are the trendy fandoms now and it's even worse from Undertale since you have that one annoying portion who claims it's the best game ever of all time and try to lump as many buddies as they can, and the other who plays fandom police; so instead of seeing "ur ship sucks and everyone who ships it suck" you see "ur ship is abusive and if you ship that ur an abuse apologist sweetie uwu". That and dx every violent troubled character as autistic so nobody has the right to hate them/call them out.
Actually I think the callouts for misogyny on LJ started the trend. If you didn't like/express why female character was distasteful you were automatically labeled as a "rabid yaoi misogynist fangirl". The most impressionable part of fandom had to self-flagellate by explaining they didn't like m/m or female character isn't actually that bad. Posting multiple posts about BADASS LAYDEES didn't help either.
