History MemesFun Ataturk fact: dude would adopt "orphan" girls (quotes because some of these girls still had parents who voluntarily gave them up), raise them as his daughters, and then start fucking them as soon as they were old enough. And this made him not even close to being one of the worst people in Turkey, as he didn't participate in the Armenian massacres (in fact he pushed the government to admit the crimes and punish the perpetrators).

~~If you don't have a reliable source for this, it's getting removed.~~ ~~Every biography of Ataturk I've read~~ EDIT: Apparently not every one I've read is in agreement that Ataturk's children were adopted as a political-cultural gesture to show the importance of supporting women, as feminism was a major and controversial platform of Ataturk's ideology, and to burnish his image as a paternalistic authority figure.
Ataturk: The Rebirth of a Nation by Patrick Kinross.
Ataturk: The Rebirth of a Nation by Patrick Kinross.
One small problem - I own and have read that book, and have it on my Amazon account as an ebook no less, and to my recollection it says nothing of the sort and in fact speculates on Ataturk's possible impotency during the 20s and 30s from venereal disease contracted during his younger years.
Do you have a rough idea of what page this accusation is on?
EDIT: Another user pointed out the paragraph. It's an aside, but it definitely makes the accusation. I apologize for my hostility.
I just downloaded the book from Anna's Archive, and after a quick search, found this on page 853:
Adolescents attracted and interested him, and when the girls reached the age when they sat regularly at table he began to take notice both of their charms and their talents. None of them was exceptionally pretty; nor had they the graces of women of the world. But they provided him with the ideal ‘harem’. They were in his power, thanks to their youth and their dependence on him. He could groom them and mould them and guide them in the direction he wanted them to follow. He could use them as he chose – and when he no longer chose, could ‘wean’ them and launch them into marriage or into a career. For the girls themselves, so ambivalent a father-lover-schoolmaster relationship might create certain psychological stresses. But for Kemal it provided the family background he needed, one from which irksome ties of blood were missing, and in which wife and children became in effect one.
Hm. It seems that's the paragraph doesn't continue into (or come from) any broader explanation, which might be why it failed to make an impression on me back when I read it. I'll have to look into the accusation for the sake of being able to have an informed opinion on it.
All the same, that is a legitimate source, and I can definitely confirm that that quote is in my copy, so the comment remains.
Can I hear some more examples of Games Workshop writing? Is it like naming a space marine Diddy and making him diddle people?
The Ultramarine space marine chapter are colored ultramarine, but the lore reason for their name is because they're from the Ultramar planet.
One of the space marine chapter heads is called Lion El'Johnson. He leads the Dark Angels, and is named after Lionel Johnson, the nineteenth-century English poet who was the author of "The Dark Angel."
Lol Ultramar is a hilarious name to give a planet. I want to be a fly on the wall during that first conversation "trust me, naming it this will make a bajiollion sense in the future. It'll pay off". Unless it was the other way around, then "hmmmmm yes I see this place is green and fertile to become a home for us Ultra Marines. And since it is our home we shall call it-" "I THINK WE SHOULD CALL IT YOUR GRAVE" *standard warhammer violence noises*
Angron is the leader of the World Eaters Legion. He has Butcher's Nails in his brain, which causes him constant pain and agony, making him angry all the time.
Ferrus Manus (Latin, literally, 'Iron Hand') is the leader of the Iron Hands Legion. His Legion replaces parts of their body, like hands, with metal/cyborg parts out of a religious devotion to metal.
Anything to do with the Space Wolves, who name every wolfin' thing they have after some manner of wolf.
Okay yeah that is some Hideo Kojima shit
He wasn't called Ataturk until the Turkish parliament granted him that surname as an honorific. Translates to "father of the Turks".
It's kinda like hearing Washington being referred to as "father of the country" and going "lol, man named father of the country started a country. Lol writing bad!"
Edit: looks like PugJesus already acknowledged this, but I'll still let my comment stand.
Daddy America
Explanation: Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is widely considered the founder of modern Turkiye - certainly the founder of the Turkish Republic.
"Ataturk" literally means "Father of the Turks", though, to be fair, the name was bestowed on him AFTER he founded the republic.
Oooooh. For a moment I thought it's because he did a good job and then people said Ataturk!
Now 'at a turk!
Also, he had an entire menagerie called Abdul.
A rare Python reference!
Here, have one: ü
Imagine if George Washington was called Larry Buttfuque.
I hear it's snowing in Buttfuque DC right now.
