The current Black Helen of Troy psychodrama is culture war rooted in misogyny and racism

4h 20m ago by feddit.uk/u/spagbolioli in changemyview

Fictional Helen of Troy was hatched from an egg after her fictional God father Zeus transformed into a Swan, anything less than an authentic half-swan half-human actress is inauthentic, no one is complaining about that, just that a black woman is playing the role

British and American white male actors are playing fictional Greek characters and speaking English, nobody is complaining about that just that a black woman is playing a half-swan half-human fictional character, it seems white men can get away with playing inauthentic roles but not a black woman

We have seen this all before,

black woman plays lead in a star wars series, culture war hatemongering expressed as outraged racist, misogynistic psychodrama

black woman plays lead in disney movie, culture war hatemongering expressed as outraged racist, misogynistic psychodrama

There's not psychodrama, there's a handful of goofs and trolls egging on culture warriors into another dumb fight that makes everyone tired and produces no change or anything of value.

the psychodrama is last week, this week it's evil sikhs so predictable and repetitive
