@tweets4twits@sapp742 It’s not rewritten. It’s been defaced.
Yall so obsessed with washing out white people it’s sad there’s people looking like lupita begging for rice but you think it’s cute she’s Felon of Troy
I was “black” when I read The Odyssey in high school...
...but somehow I never imagined the characters as looking like me.
Why?
Because they were GREEK characters.
I didn’t need Odysseus to look like me to appreciate his story.
I didn’t need Helen of Troy to look like me to understand her importance.
They were Greek characters from a specific culture, with a specific history.
And this is what Hollywood keeps getting wrong.
We don’t identify with characters because they look like us.
We connect with them because we recognize something human in them - their struggles, their courage, their flaws, their values.
Odysseus is a GREEK hero.
Helen of Troy is a GREEK woman.
Their identities are part of what makes their stories meaningful.
Casting Colombians and Africans and Indians as Greek ISN'T "representation."
It’s just insulting.
Stop it.
@aurorasbaird@james_lizzz@sophiacabjs The way it’s said, history gets muffled. The books are written as historical text.
The show is like watching the war in real time. Joffrey could’ve been fed a historical inaccuracy.. and I hope so tbh. Of all the endings could come to rhaenyra, this would be lame.
@Dewale001star@e_fosa08 Same at first. But seeing the pain in her eyes as sheepstealer went rogue, she only wanted to help. Makes me feel a little sorry for her tbh
@9nationals@sappy_sappho1 This scene was shot in the 2010s. When people were far less sensitive. Now, they even introduced black targaryens (laughable) so just enjoy the win.
@Kailashlegha_08@sappy_sappho1 You’ve been indoctrinated. Congrats
Only see a “problem” after your mind has been conditioned to. Not on the first watch, but on an internet pic. Do you not understand that?
@jimhndr@JuliansLair@Alfred_1098@AlexStepherylh@sappy_sappho1 Nigha you’re weird. Like people can’t comment on PEOPLE.
The fact stands, globally whites ended their slavery. While TODAY, a slave trade still exists in Africa. Choke on the facts weird ass nigga
