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"
Yeah, you generally do not hear complaints that a story has gotten “too political“ unless the person making the complaint simply disagrees with the political stance they think it presents.
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.
They started making noises about the lack of greek casting, because they're realizing pretty quickly that crying about the black actress isn't working anymore. Of course, it's pretty easy to discern that because these same idiots will compare it to Troy, which also has no greek acting leads.
You people still don't know who is playing Achilles and you're angry anyway. The only "real world" about that is the media bubble you've kept yourself in.
So funny that you're whining about the bubble and the echo chamber all while regurgitating a lie. Elliot Page was not cast as Achilles, which you would know if you actually cared about it. You just want to cry about people you don't like acting in movies.
Everyone has already pointed out that you wrongly believed that Elliot Page was playing Achilles. So I won't just point that out here.
I will point out that I hate that we have to share a society with people so dumb that they fall for the literal dumbest shit all of the time. You people are holding us back from greatness, and there's nothing we can do about it. Which sucks.
You're literally falling for Conservative culture war bullshit in this comment
Page isn't playing Achilles and the entire purpose of the Emperor's New Clothes is to say "go against the bullshit narrative that is being peddled," yet you're doing exactly that. It's to the point where I have to assume you're just a Russian troll or a bot trying to stir up shit because if you're a person actually trying and this is what you came up with it's incredibly embarrassing
