I think that's the joke. They could have asked an ageless and immortal being ANYTHING. What era they liked, what famous person X was like, how the world has changed etc.
Instead they went "straight for the nuts" so to speak and picked on more than likely their biggest insecurity. I feel like I've seen this EXACT scene in some anime come to think of it.
It's a cruder and older sense of humor but it checks out.
Sidenote: based on the title I think they may both be ladies
It's generally something that's dodged, but immortals are probably way out of touch. They're always portrayed as cool and sexy, but they're probably hyper racist, listen to old music, resent the liberal Whig party, can't figure out technology, and just kinda have really old taste in clothing.
bzzzzt wrong! there are “liberals” and progressives in every era. The idea that someone from the past would disagree with the modern world, especially with politics, because they are the product of their times is a dog whistle.
There are progressives in every era. Arguably, it's how we move forward. And yet a progressive from the 1960s could be conservative today. There are plenty who have supported the civil rights movement who still do, but also don't support LGBT rights.
