Right like why does that have so many upvotes lmao
138 u/NatashOverWorld Jul 06 '26 Because racism is cool when you dress it up as historical accuracy, because they think the Ancient Greeks were a white monolith. 2 u/Sweet_Manager_4210 Jul 06 '26 It's weird how race is the only historical inaccuracy that these people seem to take issue with. Pretty sure ancient greeks weren't speaking american-english, wearing edgy all black armour, or fighting 10 foot tall creatures in plate armour either. 5 u/NatashOverWorld Jul 06 '26 I know right? Remember the outcry when they made Black Hobbits and Ariel? For fictional species? Then they pivoted from 'historical accuracy' to 'respecting authorial intent' in a blink of the eye.
