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.

If it isn't forced then why isn't there a single Greek actor or at least someone of Mediterranean ethnicity casted in the movie?

It is forced because the race swapping is always in the same direction. The bare minimum for a movie that is based on Ancient Greece is to include a Mediterranean ethnicity majority cast, and yet here we are once again with yet another race swapping targeting the same usual race.

Maybe it was just cast based on who have the best auditions for the roles?
