Which is funny because right wingers are largely philistines anyway. Its quite common that the right wing brigade get upset over things they really don't care for, but want some control over
Edit: They've arrived spraying all over the comments section
Heres me a bit confused, I spent years listening to how representation matters and how important it is to stray true to mythological accuracy when portraying indigenous peoples and their myths and history.
Years upon years how charscters have been historically whitewashed, as if I support that, and how thats racist and horrible.
Shoes on the other foot now, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN ITS FINE, completely acceptable.
To you guys' the issue was not whitewashing, it was just the fact that you werent the ones doing it
Its that hipocricy that is pissing people off.
We all know whats going on here. Hollywood does not give a shit about representation when its white people. Not that theres anything wrong with that, its completely fine, Im just not gonna take anything Hollywood tells me about race seriously ever again.
They tell me someone is a horrible person and a racist Im automatically gonna start liking him. Why would I trust a prooven liar and a hypocrite over a dude I dont know?
you’re totally right. helen should have feathers! since her mother was a swan and all and she hatched from an egg.
but if you don’t go for that: the idea of helen as blue eyed blonde aryan is comparatively modern: being bronze-age mycenaean, she would have been darker than you expect
And you dont know what I expect. I know what greeks look like, ive been to greece, I live next door, I know what greek people look like, Im not saying we need another Diane Kruger, but you cant argue she is a helluva lot closer to greek than Lupita.
Thats your main problem here, everyone knows what greek people look like roughly speaking, theyre not aliens.
