I mean, when worst came to worst, Genghis did rape and pillage. Can't fault them for taking issue with that.

obviously this is silly, and there's a lot to say about Genghis Khan uniting the Mongols and allowing nations to keep their culture and sovereignty upon assimilation, but like c'mon dude

Try cancelling Muhammad. A warlord polygamist slave owning pedophile should be an easy sell.

those people had people still honoring them with holidays and/or monuments.

so while they weren't canceled, due to them being dead, their legacies were negatively affected.

with Genghis Khan, he's already remembered in a mostly negative light (in the west, at least; idk how he's remembered in Asia).

Thanks for sharing, that was good. The specific video you linked didn't work for me though

I'm not sure of the underlying context, but this thread seems to be what kicked it off

Everyone else is just joking about it.

Do we have anyone from Mongolia on CE?

Id love to hear their take on this because apparently Mongolia pretty much reveres Genghis Khan as their biggest national hero. Lol, only them, and for obvious reasons.

why stop at Genghis Khan? let's just cancel the whole damn Middle Ages already. just erase it from history, yeah, pretend like it never happened. that would surely be a wise decision.

I've known Chinese people who get around it through "Mongolia is just part of china so Ghenghis Khan is a Chinese hero" which is a bit of a take.

Ghenghis revived the silk road restarting trade between the East and West, which also ties directly in to the renissance, squashed the infighting in China making it actually safe to travel, and had a hardline belief in meritocracy he was a progeressive in his time period. Guy was a helluva lot more benifical than people give him credit for, despite the rape.

You know there's a pretty common conspiracy theory that that happened there's like some 1000 year. That's just f****** missing people usually blame the Catholic Church

Mongolia was part of China up until the end of the Qing Dynasty, just like Tibet.

They just didn't "reclaim" it like they did Tibet because of the Soviet Union/Russia.
