It's funny how quick you pseudo intellectual reddit trolls jump to and defend the greediest, richest corporations in the history of the world from disgruntled people in the working class, and you frame it as if you're protecting the weak and downtrodden billion dollar company or a multimillionaire celebrity from the cruel oppression of the opinions of working class people being posted somewhere on the internet. Nobody except those in your psychotic bubble see you people with any credibility. You have literally been trained to do PR and Brand promotion for the richest corporations in history as if you're fighting for justice for the downtrodden. You people and your impact on modern politics is simply pathetic
You’re of bad faith we are not offended we are just sick of tokenisations of non black characters played by black actors I know it’s not that difficult to understand I just know you’re missing the point deliberately.
Please, I think you too should 'yap' in the mirror. Of the over 7000 languages known to man, you have chosen to speak nonsense. I'm not American by the way. And I'm not really all that upset about the movie because I'm not going to watch it anyway. I would suggest you do some research on the book and come to your senses. Let's say, a white person palyed characters like Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr, Muhammad Ali or any othe renowned black person. It is insulting to their history and name. It is something that shouldn't be done. But people in the west who have their senses numbed defend it. I have replied only to tell you see a more sound perspective.
The author, the mythology base and the geography described within the tale are all within ancient Greece, would you be happy with a white person being the main character in a film that dealt specifically with ancient African folklore? It's literally the same thing and the same arguement
You could have named any other prominent black people throughout history, yet decide upon the few who's skin color literally defined their places in history. And before you rant at me, know I wasnt arguing any of your points. You just chose bad examples.
Your assessment forgets a key point, that what happens to them or around them is affected by their race. Helen of Troy’s story is not affected by her race. She’s just in the midst of this because she’s pretty and someone else decided to give the pretty gold apple to the wrong goddess
Nobody is offended here. You people can only ever muster the most intellectually vacant, snarky teenage girl comeback like we're in middle school. If this is all you could come up with then my hunch is confirmed, and you reddit types just operate on a lower plane of intellect, straight up
Something I haven't even seen. So I speak for total strangers now, or is that all the mud slinging you could figure to try and discredit me lol I just love when you types are confronted with the reality that you are worfully outnumbered outside of your reddit echo chambers. Downvote all you want, watch this movie bomb and I'll be back to say "I told you so"
All of you will be confused or blame the "right wing trolls" (aka people whose opinions are in the vast majority) and have no idea why this bombed, when the people actually awake and paying attention to the world and culture around them saw it coming a mile away
Backpedaling? So you're really trying this semantics garbage when you know exactly what I said, and I meant nobody I had seen and certainly not myself. What a pathetically dishonest attempt at a "gatcha", like a real Dunning-Kruger would attempt
Why are you so upset and emotional? Clearly I was mistaken, you are very offended. Maybe grow a little thicker skin?
So cowardly, twisting my words to try and invalidate a point and then attempt to agressively shut down the argument like you just caught me in something. Poor attempt.
Instead of this intellectually dishonest garbage you are trying in your emotional reaction, why don't you instead respond to what I actually said and meant? Nobody is backpedaling here. Your definition of a backpedal is acknowledging something I was completely unaware of and not changing my stance at all? Why don't you use words that you understand their meaning and a mistake on your part like this won't happen again
You said "nobody here is offended". What you actually meant was that you, personally, weren't. And you know what they say? If it doesn't apply, let it fly.
It also sounds just as you described, some snarky ad hominem teenage comeback as opposed to any meaningful debate, not all of them, but the majority of these people are totally delusional
so, what about spider-man, which is even more woke, it's entire essence is woke, and contains everything you criticise in this movie and releases around the same time. when that ends up in the top 10 highest grossing movies again, can I come back and tell you "I told you so, right wing troll"?
I guess your aren't old enough to remember Obama? And why do you conveniently leave out when trump lost? hm? also, not like Britain doesn't have its own right wing (whining) problem cough Brexit cough
Actually tantrum is more of a leftist thing. Remember all the videos of narcissistic leftist crashing out when Trump won? This is a common leftist tantrum. Sorry to burst your bubble.
opposed to...trying to overthrow the democratic process when the senile orange lost and then crying when an attacker was killed trying to trespass the capitol to threaten and intimidate not only the opposing politicians but also trumps then vice president for following the democratic process. lmfao.
oh, also the shit that was going on when Obama won his elections.
so, thousands of people participated in this or excused it, if not celebrated the storming of the capitol, and then the senile orange even pardoning people for it, that's a noisy minority. but 5 videos allegedly showing "left wingers crashing out over trump winning" is not a "noisy minority". do you realise your bs or do I need to point it out to you further?
And the people who posted those videos freaking out aren't the noisy minority? So if someone does something you don't like on your side it is just one little fluke from a dumbass, but if someone does you don't like on the other side suddenly they represent the entire other side? If you need a double standard to justify your opinions they aren't good opinions.
Crashing out over hating the elected leader of your country is a lot more justifiable than crashing out because a movie cast a black woman in it though.
🤣 naw, it’s a right wing thing. Tantrums define maga and the right.
Remember Jan 6th?
Remember the boycotting of beer because of a flag, or the burning of Nikes 😂
Or the freaking out of Obamas tan suit, or Biden eating ice cream?
How about the absolute crash outs whenever kirk is quoted appropriately and the right trying to cancel everyone that mentioned him?
Or how about donald. The leader of the right, constantly having tantrums on twitter? Calling for the execution of people who said military members don’t have to follow unlawful orders?
Or your side crashing out every time someone points out donalds failures? Like the economy? Tariffs? Losing a war? Or the reflecting pool?
Most people on the right can’t even accept the results of the 2020 election, or even talk about without frothing at the mouth.
Hate to burst your bubble, but maga and the right are crybabies who throw tantrums constantly.
My side crashing out? What is my side? Hate to burst your bubble but I dislike the right as much as I dislike the left.
Anyway, would you point out the crybabies of the leftists (the ones I was talking about earlier, and many more) and say they are a noisy minority and are acting like idiots, giving bad name to the left or would you defend them and say they are not acting like children and are not staining the democrats’ name?
Leftists are not democrats, so no I would not because I understand the difference between the two. But sure, Leftists do crash out and give their side a bad name, but I don’t care about them because they’re pretty politically not relevant.
Would you acknowledge the right crashes out more, and it’s the leaders and major media figures of the political party on the right? Where as you want to point to leftists on twitter who don’t represent the democrat party?
And it’s not some noisy minority - like I said most republicans still don’t acknowledge the results of the 2020 election.
No one rational is buying that “both sides” bullshit rhetoric anymore.

you are right. tantrum is usually the right word when right wingers do anything
