@MeliSolw0@pureMetatron Why shouldn't he specifically support Greeks when the topic is The Odyssey? Greeks are European, but this story is Greek. Supporting Greeks here doesn't contradict talking about broader European representation. Both can be true at the same time.
@MeliSolw0@pureMetatron He has addressed this multiple times, stating that this is not only Greek erasure but also white and European erasure. Maybe watch some of his clips first before jumping to conclusions. In this particular topic, though, it's exactly about the Greeks, and he is 100% correct too.
@InsaneFrog The Last of Us Part II was review bombed because too many people listened to YouTubers telling them to hate it instead of playing the game themselves and judging it on its own merits.
Hey, @Sony@PlayStation
Our customers have not stopped voicing their concerns to us, about your choice to end physical media on the PlayStation platform.
Millions of people are outraged by your decisions, millions who have contributed to PlayStation’s success for over 30 years. You may have shattered trust beyond repair for many, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to fix your wrongdoings.
This is nothing more than a greedy move, being made to have more control over the consumer. Is that really what Play is about?
Gamers need to abandon the “loyalty” mentality towards corporations🚀
This is a business.
Their only measure of value is money.
They don’t care about you.
They aren’t your friends.
They won’t give you anything when you pretend to like and agree with everything they do
In fact, it only reinforces hubris, and lack of accountability.
Focus on your self-interest, not your “dedication” to those who only see their own self-interest.
Gaming fell off when you started to have parasocial relations with corporations

>Be The Odyssey actor John Leguizamo
>Claims latin people are under-represented
>Stars in a movie stealing a role from another ethnicity/group ( Greek ) that is also under represented
You can't make this shit up, the hypocrisy is baffling
Christopher Nolan is not the first to show disrespect towards the Greeks, and he won’t be the last, for sure. It seems some of you quickly forgot what Netflix did in 2024. They released a "documentary" which they called "historical", and publicly claimed that Alexander was homosexual and the lover of Hephaestion. Even though there is no primary source that could possibly lead to this conclusion, Netflix went ahead and did it anyway.
Despite receiving many appeals from Greek lawyers and historians asking them not to, the Greek government took no action. As a result, this "historical documentary" remains available on Netflix for every uneducated and impressionable person ready to learn history from Netflix, complete with scenes showing these two were kissing before the start of the campaign based on no sources at all. Just some cunning people whose goal is to fulfill their sick desires and appetites. Disgraceful anti-Greek propaganda.
Why did this happen? Once again, Hellenism, traditional male role models, and the history of one of humanity’s greatest civilizations are being targeted.
Think about how there are people who, with obsessive fervor, try to convince everyone, by distorting historical sources or outright fabricating new fake ones that don’t exist, that this Greek civilization and Alexander himself were all homosexual, that it was a common everyday institution, and that they engaged in orgies. Does this help you in any way?
This is done for the complete humiliation of Greek civilization, the civilization that was born and gave the foundations of science to the entire world, the one admired by the Roman Empire, whose values humanity still admires and tries to follow. They hate this. They want to destroy this image: the image of the hero and masculine role model who placed his values above carnal pleasure.
The pseudo-progressives to whom we have handed the reins to lead our society know that most people don’t read the ancient texts. They know that the public will never learn the truth. And even if you do know it, they will corner you, and you won’t be able to counter them with sources in a proper rebuttal, so they win. By pushing paid articles and movies, they are trying to manipulate the common thought.
Besides, they have nothing to do with actual progress. It is a general rule that when someone frantically tries to prove they embody a certain title, they are usually the exact opposite.
> The progressives are not progressive.
> The communists are not democrats, even if they call themselves that (see: Democratic People's Republic of Korea).
> The humanists are not humanists, and so on.
Thus, these "progressives", uneducated authors, academics and historians, bet on the ignorance of the majority in order to push their own agenda.
Imagine now how evil and what dark plans someone must have in their mind to obsessively try to do something like this.
These are the people you are dealing with in your everyday life.
There is one thing that makes me happy, though. With everything they do, indignation is growing and people are getting tired.
All of this aims at the triumph of irrationality, the disappearance of logic, the destruction of the Classics and the complete subjugation of free people with values.
They hate the West, the hate our ancestors, they hate Greece, they hate Rome. They hate masculinity, they hate men, they hate women, children, nations.
But above all, they hate themselves.
They will lose in the end, and we will laugh at the fate of all those who today fight under the mantle of supposed humanism, which in reality is nothing but hidden irrationality.
@PaulTassi I don't think it's a great thing that critics are able to preemptively manufacture a consensus on media like this
Especially when this movie has so many hot button social issues tied into it that "critics" refuse to address
Critics now offer propaganda rather than insight
The Odyssey is sitting at 98% on Rotten Tomatoes from critics.
This is the same movie that cast zero Greeks, took Greek taxpayer money, filmed in Greece, and still completely disrespected the culture and story. Yet the critics are handing out near-perfect scores like it’s some masterpiece.
This is exactly why a lot of us stopped trusting these scores years ago. When something clearly takes liberties with another culture’s history and heritage, but critics still protect it with glowing reviews, it stops feeling like honest criticism and starts feeling like industry circle-jerking.
Audiences will have the final say when it actually releases.
Who else thinks these critic scores are becoming more and more meaningless?

Now is a good time to discuss why some Westerners hate us Greeks.
> They claim we have no connection to ancient Greece (it is proven by genetic science that we are the same people).
> There is no Greek representation in films about Greek history, mythology, and culture.
> They portray us as Northern Europeans.
> They don’t respect us and constantly mock us to the point of degrading our very existence.
> Hollywood has shown us no respect, and the academic community has created a fake image of our history in order to repel young people who were drawn to Greek values of patriotism and virtue.
> They promoted an unfounded mythology and a narrative of homosexuality.
> They claim that homosexuality was an institution and common, even though it is not documented in any primary source. It existed but it was uncommon and NOT an institution. Academic LGBTQ activism seeks to revise history. The goal is to normalize homosexuality by claiming "it was always everywhere even in the perfect Ancient Greece" and to undermine "heteronormative" readings of Western classics; high-status, ultra-masculine warriors are always perfect for subversion. In ancient Greek language we have at least 10 words for homosexuality and all are slurs.
The time has come for the West to show us the respect we deserve, just as we show it to them.
That’s enough.
Christopher Nolan’s film "The Odyssey" is the ultimate act of disrespect toward every Greek.
Once again, they are destroying and humiliating Greek (and Roman) values through the academic and cinematic communities. They want to turn you away from Greek values and true philosophy, or at least misrepresent to you what Hellenism, Greek values, and the Greek spirit truly are. They want to turn you away from real patriotism.
