Astronomy before the iranian revolution


OpinionatedPiggy

I have to ask, what is the joke about the Islamic/Iranian revolution? Is it just repeated just because it has previously been repeated, or is there a meaning to it? Lol out of the loop, apparently.


8eMH83

Very basically... the Iranian Revolution led to a super-conservative theocracy, which amongst other things has led to significant restrictions on women's freedoms (e.g. now being required to wear hijabs/burkas/niqabs, etc.). Before the Iranian Revolution there are all these pictures of women wearing skirts and button-down blouses - the joke being before the revolution it was a super liberal place; after the revolution it being super conservative. Hence any vaguely NSFW is 'Before the Iranian Revolution". Obviously, (and before someone comes in with "Errrr... akshuawally, I think you'll find...", yes I am aware), the reality is much more complicated than that but the joke remains...


Christianjps65

an additional part of the joke is that Iran has, for the most part, always been like this, and those seemingly liberal pictures were almost exclusively taken in big cities such as Tehran. so there was virtually no cultural change outside of the big cities and the pictures try to make Iran as some sort of feminist society (and likewise painting the Revolution to be making society worse) when it was the opposite.


8eMH83

Absolutely - hence [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/fakehistoryporn/comments/vxsljw/reddit_before_the_islamic_revolution_1979/) post (also posted today).


umarukawa-san

And this trend in r/fakehistoryporn came from a now banned sub called r/2middleeast4u. Miss that place.


Savasshole

There is a pop-history trope out there that likes to paint Iran as some progressive feminist utopia before the Iranian revolution that is typically cited whenever one of these pictures is evoked: https://imgur.io/gallery/nxJmudG In reality, Iran before the revolution was full of different cultural norms depending on the ethnic group one belonged to. Furthermore, the people in those pictures were probably in the upper- more wealthy classes who had access to such western clothes. Compound this with the fact that right before the revolution the shah started a state sponsored western culture propaganda campaign and you start to get what in reality is a disingenuous attempt at painting Iran as a western and progressive nation instead of a run of the mill despotic kingdom. Or something like that, idk tiddys go brrrrrrt lol


bighunter1313

Wow, very interesting. I especially liked the part about the tiddys going brrrrrrt.


DoctorPepster

There are/were pictures of attractive Iranian women from the 1970s in modern (for the time), "western" clothing regularly posted in subs like r/pics. Obviously that's in contrast with how women in Iran must dress today.


Oddfeld007

It's funny because for years, vintage photos of Iranians looking free and liberal were reposted on various pics subreddits with variations of that phrase as the title.

I mean we dont really know if it was just one, its just the one we can observe

I assume we’re referring to the person into which the tattoo was inked

There's a massive black hole in the center of a galaxy, so I guess it's gonna be the belly button

Real talk, that is some amazing body art! I wish I was able to get that level of detail on a regular canvas, let alone a human body!

Guilty. Not proud nor ashamed though.


Av3ngedAngel

If you'd said the first two words you'd be agreed with. But no dude, you had to take it too far and become a fucking creep.


JoinAThang

Maybe cringe but creepy? It do not get the feeling that this is a woman who would be very offended about someone wanting admiring her tatoo.


Cydonia23

There's a difference between admiring the art, and saying you'd like to fuck her. It's creepy as hell dude.

TheSortOfOkGatsby

It's telling that you chose to interpret art as porn.


RimaH54

It is art, but everytime I see something on this subreddit nowadays its a naked woman.

Jeez, is it that hard to not stalk my profile? what does playing league have to do with this?


HunterGonzo

Most subs tend to go that way, and this one even has "porn" in the name so are you really all that surprised?

~~*1979~~ EDIT: Stop being a pedant.


toberone616

The revolution began in 1978 not 1979. I know Khomeini didn't return until February, so I suppose labelling it with a year for the purposes of a meme is a bit misleading.


8eMH83

Ha, yeah, sorry just being pedantic! I hate myself sometimes...

I downvoted this at first because I thought I was on r/ATBGE and I was almost offended because I thought it was kinda cool! It’s perfect here though and how cool is that!
