I mean they raped her daughters, so she killed 80,000 people.

DID SHE TAKE IT TOO FAR?

 

[ButterTart]

She died about five minutes from where I live. Having seen the Trip Advisor ratings for some of the pubs nearby I can't say I'm surprised.

Anyway, she was mint but I also have a hard-on for the spetsnaz so I'm clearly a sucker for powerful, violent sociopaths.

With all the different variants on her name, she really was the first QUEEN OF REINVENTION.

 

[GinAg (39)]

She burnt my town, London and less importantly St Albans DOWN TO GROUND.

And yet Jaywick survives.

Remember to have this playing as you read the thread:

That Enya is pro the massacre of innocent civilians, doesn't surprise me ONE BIT.

In fairness she probably thought someone had beaten her to it.

Boadicea is a much nicer name than Boudicca, why did they change it?

 

[GinAg (39)]

I'd like to know how @RJN pronounces her name.

"Better info". No one has a fucking clue how to spell it or say it, there's basically no record.

As a child I thought she was the same as Lady Godiva for a long time, or maybe just that both were NUDES.

Important to remember the Romans' behaviour towards her and her daughters (and the druids. RIP to the druids) was also not very good + problematic.

Was painting the soil around Colchester red with the blood of civilians NECESSARY? No. But we do love a strong female character. So on balance, who can say whether she was bad or not?

Must try and have another go at Date Ariane and see if I get to cop a feel.

You may be correct.

Historians say the term YASS SLAY QUEEN was conjured up by her PR team

 

[floppet]

Of course she wasn't bad! She was just a Queen trying to live her life but men spoiled it so they had to pay. We've all been there, maybe not the massacring, but the men spoiling things part.

I'd say one murder per rape is fair when it comes to eye for an eye. She kinda went 40,000 times too far.

That said it was just as likely about taxes.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Does it make me a SEXIST PIG to tell a woman how many she should kill?

To be fair, it's often tempting...

let Róisín guide you

Look at this picture of her (ably played by Tilda Swinton), clutching her skateboard and giving a stirring speech to some burly psychopaths and a hipster in an orange H&M cardie. How can this woman be problematic?

Typical PATRIARCHAL BULLSHIT, when MEN want to go a vengeful murderous rampage its FINE but as soon as a woman does it then its back in the kitchen sweet cheeks.

When the king died the Romans raped his daughters and flogged his Queen and took everything from them. Do you think they were just raped once or would it be more likely that a lot of soldiers maybe lined up for a go?

I can tell you now, without a shadow of a doubt, if somebody did that to me and mine there'd be nothing off the table as far as revenge is concerned. I'd have a lovely selection of teeth and testicle necklaces for a start.

 

[big ron]

Maybe we need a poll, how much vengeful murder is too much vengeful murder?

 

[big ron]

And then we can put it in the moopy rules

 

[Phoenix]

Would it be considered a massacre? Where would it rate in the massacre rate

HIGH!

She tortured WOMEN

 

[big ron]

It was a different time

 

[big ron]

Are we cancelling her?

 

[GNL]

She tortured WOMEN

She was just trying to decolonise the syllabus Iceni.

We should get George Galloway to chime in...
