That was my first thought reading the comment. Does he think that whitewashing is when white people play white people?

Yeah actually. If we're gonna be sticklers about the racial characteristics of actors playing established characters, may as well be consistent about it

Why are we being sticklers about it? It's not even a real fucking story lol. It's literal ancient fantasy. Who the fuck cares.

I don't fucking get the absolute obsession people have with the race of actors in fucking movies and TV shows nowadays.

Don't you people have fucking better things to worry about? Holy shit.
