Fictional Helen of Troy was hatched from an egg after her fictional God father Zeus transformed into a Swan, anything less than an authentic half-swan half-human actress is inauthentic, no one is complaining about that, just that a black woman is playing the role
British and American white male actors are playing fictional Greek characters and speaking English, nobody is complaining about that just that a black woman is playing a half-swan half-human fictional character, it seems white men can get away with playing inauthentic roles but not a black woman
We have seen this all before,
black woman plays lead in a star wars series, culture war hatemongering expressed as outraged racist, misogynistic psychodrama
black woman plays lead in disney movie, culture war hatemongering expressed as outraged racist, misogynistic psychodrama
There’s not psychodrama, there’s a handful of goofs and trolls egging on culture warriors into another dumb fight that makes everyone tired and produces no change or anything of value.
