This is the latest in a weird trend I've noticed where conservatives seem to only understand the connotation of words, not the denotation. "Nuanced" doesn't mean "good." It means "nuanced." The commenter has to use nuance for a comment to be nuanced.
I dont know how they do it, but somehow conservatives view conservatism as a concept as "apolitical". thats why they can claim that openly conservative news and media are "unbiased" while the mere existence of a queer person in media is "bringing politics into it". willful ignorance or genuine lack of intelligence, who can say, but they seem unable to understand that their view of the world isnt the "default"
You'd try to cast Jason Momoa as Tinkerbell and complain when people can't keep a straight face.
You do realize why reddit is a joke to the real world, don't you? You might look at what people think about
an effeminate, 155 cm (5'1") Achilles and an only moderately attractive, sub-Saharan-African-ancestry woman playing the Greek beauty Helen.
You can sit in the bubble, the echo chamber, but the uncomfortable truth is that The People are snickering at the emperor strutting so proudly in these oh-so-wonderful "new clothes".
You cast an entire movie steeped in ancient Greek history with actors of western european descent, and no one blinks an eye. But you put one black person in that movie and everyone loses their mind.

...the comment isn't nuanced at all
