I just got mad about the “Authorship Question” again.
Someone remind me to copy/paste my twitter comments later. I am so LIVID all over again. Fucking classism. 17 year old me wrote a whole PAPER about that shit to graduate high school and it STILL makes my blood boil to this day.
BUT HOW CAN FALCON IF NOT POSH?
April you are the best omg I’m laughing so hard I’m crying! : D
Indeed. The entire argument, spanning roughly 300 years, can in fact be reduced to “but how can falcon if not posh?”
Oh my gods do not get me started on Edward de Vere – TOO LATE! This is the current most popular candidate propped up by the
classist assholes snob brigadeanti-Stratfordians. There have been many over the centuries but he’s the most popular right now. Literally the only reason they prefer him to Shakespeare is because he was a nobleman and Shakespeare wasn’t. They think being an aristocrat makes him better than Shakespeare, normal dude with cool ideas. They try to dress it up as other things but when you corner them and destroy all their false information, it boils down to them thinking aristocrats are better and more worthy of remembrance and fame than filthy plebs like you and me.FUN FACTS about Edward de Vere, the supposedly “far worthier” candidate for writing plays that have endured to this day and continue to delight and inspire humanity:
1. Murdered a servant for funsises and was never punished
(Ed’s argument was literally “he ran into my knife” I am not making this up)
2. Went into debt so badly he had to beg the Queen for money. I don’t remember how many times this happened but she called him out for being “unthrifty” and that is public record.
3. Brought a boytoy back from Italy and when he got tired of him, kicked the guy out onto the streets in a foreign land. (All the while, Edward was married.)
4. Knocked up one of the Queen’s ladies-in-waiting without the Queen’s permission, knowing she got very upset about that sort of thing. (Edward was still married.)
5. Was thrown into the Tower by the Queen, babymama AND BABY alongside him, because he couldn’t keep it in his pantaloons.
6. Was attacked in the streets by the woman’s family due to his outrageous behavior towards her and ruining her reputation, something he did nothing to remedy.But, y’know. He was an aristocrat. So he’s a FAR worthier candidate for having written Shakespeare’s plays. Because the nobility are super special, guys, they’re so much better than us common folk. We will never rise to their great heights of amazingness. How can falcon if not posh?
Anti-Stratfordians and suck my literary dick. At best, they haven’t bothered to do a minimum of research, and at worst they’re classist assholes.
Watching you rip into the Oxfordian heresy is wonderful. I’m over here like *popcorn*
Ahahaha omg
