Fake History Porn

Welcome to /c/[email protected] , where fake history is made. Find a historically significant photo, come up with a fake history title, post it, laugh.
The name is a reference to the fact that the pictures should be worth marveling at. This is NOT a place for hardcore pornography. Tasteful nudity is fine as long as it fits within the context of the post (please mark it as NSFW).

Buddy, this is fantastic, and you obviously put in a lot of work on this
Do you know what fuckin community you're in?
I know...
Is 2004 too recent to be history? Is this a scene that actually happened, making it not fake? And given the source of the image and the effort, this definitely fits the porn part of the title. So despite it not being a mislabeled historical photo, I think it fits well enough.
I will crosspost it to [email protected] and [email protected] but I don't think people would appreciate it as much there. 3 years ago, it got the most upvotes at r/fakehistoryporn anyway.
You misunderstand the purpose of this community so hard
From the about section:

I did read the sidebar but I don't think it's a major problem - as I explained above, this is fake, history and porn, and will likely be appreciated by subscribers of this community.
I do think it is fine, but the point is...
I mostly agree but I would not call it the point. The point is to have fun over fake history. This is a rule or guideline which I admittedly broke de iure but I think I acted sufficiently in the spirit of our community that such posts should be allowed sparingly (as long as they don't overrun the community outside its moderators' intentions). In 2020, I posted this on r/memes, r/mathmemes r/fakehistorymemes, where it arguably fits better, but the r/fakehistoryporn post got most upvotes and there is no fake history memes community on Lemmy anyway.
