[theqoo] MOVIE 'ODYSSEY''S ACTRESS PLAYING HELEN CRITICIZES HOMER

"JUST IN: Lupita Nyong’o, who stars as "Helen of Troy" in the upcoming Odyssey film, criticizes Homer for not giving female characters enough attention."

"The Black Helen has spoken.

Lupita Nyong’o accuses Homer of misogyny and whines about too little "screen time" for women in the Odyssey.

Yes, exactly. The man who nearly 3,000 years ago created the foundation of all of Western literature is being lectured by a mediocre Hollywood actress.

Absolute stupidity and cultural ignorance squared."

1. ?? Does she not know who Homer is?

2. This is so ridiculous

3. Are we sure she's not joking? It just sounds like your typical American joke

4. Doesn't she even know what she's in? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. Why not? We get to bash those Confucian grandpas from the Joseon Dynasty here, too

6. In ancient Greece, women were originally treated like livestock, right? I think it's perfectly valid to make that kind of criticism. It's okay to criticize the era

7. Her sense of superiority complex is disgusting

8. So we can't criticize stories that were written in the past anymore?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

9. If there's even a term like “Greek mis*g*ny” to begin with...

10. For real, The Iliad was such a tough read for me
