War on woke
As per FUTURISM:
Like a lot of very online right wingers who are suddenly qualified classicists, [Musk is] very upset about the new Odyssey adaptation directed by Christopher Nolan.
Nolan, according to Musk, “desecrated Homer and groveled on his knees just to meet the woke rules required to win an Oscar.” That’s because his movie dares to do stuff like cast Black women and a trans man in prominent roles, making the director what Musk termed an “anti-White racist.” In other words, it’s supposedly not “historically accurate” — never mind the fact that the epic poem contains gods wandering the Earth and a Cyclops.
Are we now in the stage where we cannot accept artist's vision of the art they've created? Are these lads even aware they do not need to watch a film that they do not like? I know this is all reactionary and engagement inducing, but still. Wei Wu Wei.
I am not quite sure if being scared of people that are different than you makes you the protector of the Aryan nation that you might think you are.
Another crazy shit from a totally bonkers billionaire asshat.
