Well. Sort of… if you are an NPR or POLTICO or WAPO or NYT follower, you are going to have been told for months how amazing The Odyssey will be and how it definitely makes sense to cast a 5’2” small transgender person as a warrior etc etc… and that the only people that don’t like these all non-Greek and nonsensical casting choices are the bad people.
It is religion, but it isn’t coming from Reddit. Reddit is just the paper the new bible is printed on.
If you think that’s bad casting, I’ve got some bad news: the guy who plays the cyclops has two eyes.
It's been saddening seeing people who think they're clever and have it all figured out getting wrapped around the axle about Odyssey for the absolutely most foolish reasons. You act like the casting decision is the downfall of society.
This is a great example of the sort of culture-war nonsense that people are here to avoid.
