What term should we use for people who have a week-long outrage fit about a 2700 year old mythical character being played by someone of a different race?

@Andy_James_B @christianjbdev Which was equally absurd as she was playing an android.
English
@christianjbdev It actually fucking started in 2017 when Scarlett Johansson was absolutely crucified for "whitewashing" ghost in the shell. That message was received and it didn't really happen again. I'm not inclined to entertain any argument that doesn't start with "I'm so sorry"

One more post about the Odyssey stuff.
I think my haters miss where I’m coming from. I truly believe that as far as possible we should try not to obsess about race.
My haters all complain that the SJWs did it. Well OK, but that doesn’t mean it’s any better when you do it!
English
@infieldg @RagsRyan @GSpellchecker Yeah sure because the large number of accounts calling her inbred, comparing her to animals, and all manner of vile invectives aren’t at all racist…
English
They race swapped Christopher Nolan black now?
Assuming racism is evidence YOU'RE racist, but I still can't see your evidence that WE are.
Try race swapping an important figure in black culture and you'll see the SAME white guys calling it out.
It's not about colour, it's about honouring source material - like everything Star Wars since Lucas sold his child to virtue signallers.
But as long as you NEED us to be racist, there's no point in even arguing.

Ok. Since I've annoyed enough strangers on the internet today, I might as well carry on:
Why are people pretending she isn't beautiful enough for this role?

@tamsayuh1337 @RagsRyan @GSpellchecker Well it is a pivot from my previous statement despite my engaging with it. Put some antiseptic on those poor knuckles of yours.
English
@akaLeguman @RagsRyan @GSpellchecker *black washes Greek history*
“Do you think this is what they had in mind?”
Retard:
“Nice pivot”
You people are the cancer of the west
English
@RagsRyan @tamsayuh1337 @GSpellchecker Nice pivot but I’ll humour you. No obviously not. But this is a work of fiction and as such once released into the wild it is open to reinterpretation, adaptation etc. You might not like this version and that’s fine but that in no way justifies this outpouring of hatred.
English
@akaLeguman @tamsayuh1337 @GSpellchecker So you think when the Greeks wrote this story, they had black people in mind?
English
@tamsayuh1337 @RagsRyan @GSpellchecker Yes I’m so sorry. You’re right. Helen - hatched from an egg laid by Leda, ferilized by Zeus (a God) in the form of a swan - is a "historical" figure. Sure,

@DannouraCore @TASTEforTEA_ @GSpellchecker Funnily enough, I was gifted 300 the comic by a Greek friend who, if memory serves, absolutely loved the film. 😆
English
@TASTEforTEA_ @akaLeguman @GSpellchecker You’re so stupid you can’t breathe through your nose. “Greeks walked!!” oh then I guess the people who walked out of Avengers are representing all Americans.
It’s a comic book based on Greek history then filmed comic book in tone, you really are a different species.
English
@akaLeguman @DannouraCore @GSpellchecker oh yeah... where did the comic book come from, your grandpas extreme Nazi ahole?

Kitèn@TASTEforTEA_
Nazis used the image of 300 Spartans as a symbol to promote ideals of heroism, martial purity & sacrifice. It became a central metaphor in their propaganda machine to encourage soldiers & citizens to embrace the Spartan-like tenacity, loyalty, and dedication to the racial cause.
English
@RagsRyan @GSpellchecker If you consider a few hastily written tweets "a whole novel" then I guess that confirms a few assumptions I'd made 😂🤡. Maybe take a break from rage-baiting on X and pick up a book, yeah ?
English
@akaLeguman @GSpellchecker This nerd wrote a whole novel to explain why he's not racist for wanting a black woman to take the role away from a white woman which is insanely racist
English
@TASTEforTEA_ @DannouraCore @GSpellchecker It was an adaptation of the comic book. And as such it was extremely accurate.
English
@DannouraCore @akaLeguman @GSpellchecker That already happened... and 20 years after even the Greeks walked off the screening. People are gaslighting persians that it was 100% accurate because Nazi comic depicted them that way. 🤣

Fun Fact: Lupita Nyong resembles Helen of Troy much more than that character in 300 resembled Xerxes.
English
@RagsRyan @GSpellchecker The principle seems to emerge only when a Black woman is cast in a prominent role. And that's telling.
English
@RagsRyan @GSpellchecker What's perhaps most revealing is that many of the accounts suddenly concerned with "historical accuracy" appear conspicuously uninterested in accuracy when other blockbuster films take enormous liberties with history.
