EARLY EPISODE: The Münster Rebellion: Part 1
Added 2024-06-10 06:24:21 +0000 UTCWhat starts as a rational critique of the Reformation turns into a wild, sex crazed, blood thirsty, and heavily armed cult ruled by a man who thinks he can cure blindness by spitting in someone's eye while mass executions take place via comically oversized anime sword.
The Anabaptists of Munster eventually turn everyone against them from Martin Luther to the Catholics to their own believers who simply like their wives.
Content Warning: Everything, throughout the series.
