You may disbelieve, but I've posted a small section comparing Aristasia to the cultural milieu of 4chan. What do the Aristasian Poppitops have to do with Pepe? Something seems to have just clicked for me. https://aristasia.guide/storms#whimsy

Long hidden from us newbies, the Romantia era of Aristasian history remained a mystery until the group's publications became available online much later. So, what was Romantia really like, and how did it contribute to Aristasia? https://aristasia.guide/mists#romantia

Facetiously seeking a canine therian to help me sort through all the dogwhistles in these "Romantia" zines from the 1990s.

It's that bad. When I was part of Aristasia, I was told that Romantia had been a mixed gender salon of sorts. It seems they were, instead, a home publishing house for some really disgusting material.

I am also finding little evidence of Romantia existing, actually, as more than the zines and other articles where a couple specific people occasionally pose in "Romantian" garb. It seems that it was their attempt to create the appearance of an extant "sub"culture by writing as if it existed.

Yeah I've seen more than my fair shair of dogwhistlely bs but those zines just might be some of the worse.

I do want to mention that the Internet Archive was hacked precisely in the middle of my research (alongside a friend) into Lux Madriana's activities in the late 1970s. Suffice to say, it was unfortunate timing and quite a shock to our systems, a reminder of the realities of a digital lifestyle, I suppose.

I want to clarify that I'm still not clear on who hacked it or why, so I cannot comment on that, except to say that I want it back ASAP.

Despite the results of the poll on the front page (which was unequivocally in favor of frills), I'll be, within the next month or so, switching this site to a more sedate layout. The pink sucralescence (as we called it back in the day) of this site causes too much dissonance for me given what has come to light over the past year.
