Recently, Reddit useru/totally_not_a_pigeon要求人们分享历史上不同的时刻和时代常常被浪漫化，尽管它们实际上是多么可怕。他们要说的是：
3."Medieval history. 首先是瘟疫。实际上，农奴和任何妇女都没有自由。还有无休止的残酷战争。即使你是一个高贵的男性，这只意味着有人试图杀死你篡夺你的地位，他们可能是你的亲戚。几乎大多数人的教育也很少。”
4."People tend to forget that the roaring '20s were roaring for rich Americans in particular. If you were living outside rich America, like in Oklahoma, the '20s不是在吼叫. If you were living outside America, like in Germany, the '20s weren't roaring."

5."The1950s. Particularly in the US, it’s looked back on as a time of post-war prosperity and simple values, but sexism and racism were rampant, the red scare was widely used as a pretext for stripping away civil liberties, there was a constant fear of nuclear war, and there were zero environmental regulations paired with an industrial and chemical boom."

6."The expansion into the American West, aka'Manifest Destiny.'Sure, John Wayne movies were fun, but what about: white people massacring Native people, stripping beautiful lands for mining, racism against Chinese immigrants, the near extinction of the bison and beaver, and rampant disease?"

7."In the US, especially in the South, the战前时代. 它经常被描绘成这个颓废和繁荣的时代，但事实是，这是美国对被奴役的黑人施暴的高潮。”

"It was not a time to be alive if you liked living past 50 and preferred not to suffer from diseases spreading. There was also the imbalance of going through the growing pains of industrialization without yet reaping any of the technical improvements that increased quality of life."
8."Themodern era. If you live in a developed country, have at least a working class income, and a steady job, life is pretty close to what most people would consider utopia. But there are child slaves, active genocides, child soldiers, and people starving to death. I think most of the people who think this is the golden age need to look beyond the developed west."
12.“70年代。到处都有危险。Serial killers和pedophiles started becoming more notorious and drugs like LSD were prevalent."

13."WWII andbombing Japan. It was not a just action against an evil empire, rather it was a horrific, indiscriminate, and now-illegal attack that should be looked upon with shame. Stop celebrating it, respect the victims, and learn from the past."

16."For the life of me, I don't understand why so many people these days romanticize theViking Age. 谋杀？强奸？奴隶制？让我们把它刷在地毯下面，因为看，很酷的船！很酷的咬边！很酷的打斗场面！”
