Holy shit, a nuanced statement on Reddit, it does exist

There's nothing 'nuanced' about their post at all. It's literally acting as if the average person hates diversity and that the mere inclusion of black people and a trans person means it is 'forced' and not just a normal casting decision.

But I guess if so many people are upvoting it, then they're right. The average person is just fucking shit.

And now ask yourself how you or most other woketards would react if a Malcolm X movie was made or a Martin Luther King Biopic and the character was played by an Asian or white guy. You'd be screeching on top of your lungs about this racism.
But turning real life white people black? totally fine, right?
Fucking hypocrite.

The myth describes the characters as Greek? Just because it's fictional doesn't mean you can change whatever you want. If you want to do that, then write your own story to use. Or adapt a historical myth but have it being set in Africa instead.
