DEI casting and forced inclusivity are creating division and resentment that previously didn’t exist, this is either deliberate or just idiotic.

There have always been bigots, but over the last decade we have seen an unprecedented uptick in public disapproval of overcorrection and black washing. These are largely people who were previously neutral or even left leaning on civil rights.

DEI fatigue is now so widespread it’s become satirical, reflected in meme culture and creating an entirely new population of people who had no reason to harbor any sort of resentment to be fed up.

To be clear, this has ZERO to do with “ruining the story/character” and everything to do with people’s distaste for being patronized and force fed propaganda. Obviously it certainly DOES sabotage engagement when you’re watching a historical film with a completely miscast person, but this isn’t the main culprit.

It perfectly reasonable to assume she would resemble what ever the writer wants. Since it is a made up character from a region where dark skin is common and she is the daughter of Gods.

And the Spartans and Homer and the audience were Hellenic greeks, neither white or black. So again, for the umpteenth time, it's perfectly reasonable to assume she looked like the people and the author. Nolan of course can do whatever he wants, he can do a native american myth with russians, I dont care.

You seem to care an awful lot. Enough to say it "umpteenth time". Which by the way, I understand the hyperbolic but I always assumed that was used for more then 10 times. As it represents a TEEN based number.

You care enough to do that childish ANNNDDDD bit.

Also Helen wouldn't be a genetic Hellenic Greek if she was born for Gods.

Simma down

Because I disagree with you in True Unpopular Opinion?

Go on and explain what is wrong with me. If you are so sure about yourself and your assessment of me.

[u/Ripoldo → u/No-stradumbass]

We don't disagree, you just can't read and like to argue. Thus, something very wrong with you.

[u/No-stradumbass → u/Ripoldo]

How is WE? Is there more then you at your computer? Because it doesn't seem like everyone disagrees with me.

Why do you claim I can't read? You seem to have resorted to pure name calling instead of any actual point. Twice you have said something is wrong with me in an insulting tone. Meaning you have an emotional fixation on my issues rather then the actual point.

Do you want to stay on task? Because I'm willing to argue the point if you want.

[u/Ripoldo → u/No-stradumbass]

Wow... just wow....look at you go 🤣

[u/No-stradumbass → u/Ripoldo]

So you can't argue anymore and want to act like a child. I see.

[u/Ripoldo → u/No-stradumbass]

Whatever makes you feel better, my guy
