You care about the historical detail of the boats and armour, but don't care about the person (sex or colour)? And people who disagree with you need medical help?

Do you realise all the contradictions in your position? And then to suggest that the other person needs medical help for stating the obvious, indicates your malign intent. This is gas lighting, ie abusive behaviour. Your own conditioning is making you unable to see the obvious.

Its not gas lighting and you diminish the term by suggesting it is.

If you demand arbitrary whiteness for a film thats about people who were considered black until the 60s or so, when you arent also demanding greekness of the whites, you are just here to grind your culture war axe.

I was accused of being conditioned, all I did was point out that its the culture war practitioners who have been conditioned like pavlovs dog to bark every time they see a person of colour on film. And yeah, that requires medical attention.

You think greeks were considered black in the 1960s?

Perhaps you have just received a very poor education. Perhaps the colours of people really have shifted a lot in your understanding.

> Its not gas lighting and you diminish the term by suggesting it is.

If the colours of different people have NOT shifted in your understanding, saying someone needs medical help for stating the obvious, common understanding is pretty close to the text book definition of gas lighting. It's just that you think it is for a good cause.

If you genuinely believe every actor should be Greek or Anatolian, that would be a fair and consistent position.
