ID: xXx6Marie9xXx @spiderbyte.bsky.social posted a city map of Istanbul and captioned it "Transphobes be like "Constantinople""
Obligatory Istanbul (Not Constantinople)
Hey thanks for that. I was expecting They Might Be Giants, I had no idea it was a cover
Transphobes be like:
Pizza Hut
Im deeply offended that "custard hut" has a logo that's very clearly not custard.
So like, there ARE people who unironically argue that the city is still Constantinople and belongs to the Greeks.
They're just far more widely recognized as morons while transphobes are more socially accepted.
Funny, Constantinople certainly isn't the Greek spelling
I'm more of a Byzantium kind of person, but I respect Istanbul's wishes to be known by whatever it feels like.
Constantinople isn't even the og deadname
Byzantium is a cool name, but I prefer "Nova Roma"
that's nobody's business but the tuuuuurks
...that's nobody's business but the turks.... ISTANBUUUUUL!!!!!!!
But it's obviously "Gulf of America"
Not me sometimes accidentally using historical names for regions because I play too many paradox games
Well, transphobes and Byzeboos.
