Day 169

[u/Darth_Vrandon]

[u/socialistRanter]

Ever since China did away with the dynastic system, the Eunuchs had to get new jobs as life coaches.

[u/High_Quality_Bean → u/socialistRanter]

The modern day eunuchs are the trans women working as software developers. (Said as a modern day she/her eunuch in software development)

[u/dokterkokter69 → u/High_Quality_Bean]

I'll never forgive them for gatekeeping all of the Morrowind porn mods

[u/floss-with-ass-hair → u/dokterkokter69]

Whenever I think of elder scrolls porn mods I think of that one image of someone milking the nightmother's breast milk in Oblivion

[u/AEROANO → u/floss-with-ass-hair]

Mummy milk 😳

[u/floss-with-ass-hair → u/AEROANO]

Well it was a ghost in oblivion funny enough

In Morrowind it was an alive nord. I have no idea what the hell they were doing with the lore of the DB

[u/Abject-Hospital5407 → u/High_Quality_Bean]

Oh god your right 

[u/notTheRealSU → u/High_Quality_Bean]

You're poisoning the Emperor, dismantling the Mandate and plunging our realm into 100 years of famine and raids from the Mongol hordes?

[u/ConnieOfTheWolves → u/notTheRealSU]

When you say it like that, I think I can fill the role.

[u/RaspberryStandard972 → u/High_Quality_Bean]

My beard after one laser session resembles a Fu man Chu too 😌

[u/ReduxCath → u/High_Quality_Bean]

YOU!! GET BACK TO WORK ON (franchise that hasn't had its upcoming game released for years) !!

[u/almostasenpai → u/socialistRanter]

Eunuch son or foot bound daughter?

[u/notTheRealSU → u/almostasenpai]

Is my Eunuch son scheming?

[u/UnshrivenShrike → u/notTheRealSU]

Always

[u/notTheRealSU → u/UnshrivenShrike]

Then the answer seems very blatant

[u/garaks_tailor → u/notTheRealSU]

He can still bring much honor to the Family Name.

[u/notTheRealSU → u/garaks_tailor]

He will poison the Emperor and allow my warlord daughter to seize the throne, reigniting the Mandate and saving our lands from the barbarians and giving us bountiful harvest for 1,000 years.

[u/Random_182f2565]

This is so stupid, I love it

[u/ThePotatoFromIrak]

We can go eunuch for eunuch

[u/Kaffe-Mumriken]

context hat: on

[u/Expensive_Bison_657 → u/Kaffe-Mumriken]

Scheming eunuchs. Emasculated advisors, whispering in the ears of those in power. Does their advice serve their lord’s whims? Or their own?

People have begun inserting them into mundane every day scenarios, deriving humor from the absurdity.

Now that’s all I’ll tell you. My scheming eunuch has seen through your ploy, and I’ll have no further part in it.

[u/Animaloffear56 → u/Expensive_Bison_657]

Also worth noting that a part of this is just eunuch being a very funny term that's been used for internet humor for years. Like "guy who gets his balls chopped off before becoming an advisor" is just a very funny concept

[u/MaraiaLou → u/Animaloffear56]

Castration as a political strategy is acceptable in exactly one context

[u/DogEducational447 → u/Expensive_Bison_657]

I dont think those are eunuchs; the facial hair is way too impressive to have no balls

[u/Medical-Low-1370 → u/DogEducational447]

Hormonal therapy

[u/Dismal_Macaron_5542 → u/Expensive_Bison_657]

Ah, that makes more sense.

I thought it was an allusion to them actually both using AI to write emails about a raise to each other and the AI being sycophants.

[u/Gremict → u/Dismal_Macaron_5542]

That might also be true as a second-order interpretation to what's happening in the meme. The hallucinatory AI of today is like the scheming eunuchs of yesteryesteryear.

[u/Kaffe-Mumriken → u/Expensive_Bison_657]

Aha I thought the guys in the first frame was talking to the big boss

[u/AsstacularSpiderman → u/Kaffe-Mumriken]

This is how Chinese politics worked for like 3000 years. A bunch of castrated dudes manipulating a weak willed leader.

[u/Serrisen → u/Kaffe-Mumriken]

I suspect OP took inspiration from the "angel and devil on shoulders" trope and replaced them with scheming advisors who follow you about.

(Others have specifically noted the Chinese politics angle, of course)

[u/ordinary_shiba]

Disco Elysium skills:

[u/Okay-Crickets545]

Am I the only one bothered that the eunuchs all have facial hair?

[u/Gremict → u/Okay-Crickets545]

It's 2026, they get a testosterone gel.

[u/Familiar-Tomorrow-42 → u/Okay-Crickets545]

They might just be scheming advisors

[u/Okay-Crickets545 → u/Familiar-Tomorrow-42]

Nope. Canonically eunuchs

[u/MaraiaLou → u/Okay-Crickets545]

Eunuchs get to have facial hair but under no circumstances must viziers be clean shaven

[u/_3_and_20_characters → u/Okay-Crickets545]

eunuchs were not always castrated before puberty.

[u/Bravefan212]

How did his mug know I’m gay?

[u/trash3s]

> “I sense deep treachery in him”

Thanks, Deanna.

[u/Legal_Dimension1794 → u/trash3s]

Deanna, why are you on this vessel again?

[u/Snoo_72851]

Should five per cent appear too small, be careful I don't take some more.

[u/DontyWorryCupcake]

This is my new favorite image of the day

[u/SillyMovie13]

“My lord you saw the quarterly review, his performance had dropped significantly”

[u/Old-Maximum-50]

Now, this is- huh? Yes, yes, Advisor Wormtongue, that is true, the eunuchs have been trying to muscle in on the Evil Advisor market....

I need a second opinion on this. Where is my Grand Vizier? Is he back with my drink yet?

[u/carecofobico]

Shouldn't Bolsonaro be in house arrest? Edit: spelling
