LoL dahomies where know as THE slavers and traders on the west side. there way of life was enslaving. This is just rewriting history. It's like making a movie where hitler empowered the Jews. They probably only choice this because of the butch squad it was famous for.

Dahomey’s fearless female warriors were called, the Agoji or Mino. They had their own flag, insignia and marching band. When they seized an enemy, they decapitated him and hastened to brandish these severed heads as trophies and to scare the enemy away. “Win or die” was their adage. These terrible female fighters considered themselves braver and stronger than their male counterparts. As they passed, the population knelt down in recognition, gratitude and respect. The Agoji or Mino were considered Demi-Goddesses. Nawi, the last amazon died in 1979 at the age of 100 after fighting French troops at the end of the 19th century
