You're comparing two different things and claiming they are the same. Jesus is a central figure of Christianity, the son of God in a global religion practiced on every continent. Whilst Helen of Troy is a character from the cultural storytelling and mythology of Greece.
Your argument has no merit, and is trying to apply the same principle to different situations.
You’re saying we have to be “true” to fictional characters but can take liberties with people you assume were “real”. How is “the fake thing has to be real but the real thing can be edited” something you can say while saying someone else’s argument has no merit. Wouldn’t you want the “real”, more important person to be more accurate? I can’t believe you typed that last reply thinking it was good instead of just seeing you’re showing how ridiculous your logic is.
That's a lot of words to say you didn't understand what I said.
Jesus isn't changed because he was a real person, but because he is a symbol of a global religion, and is supposed to be the son of God, created in our image.
Helen of Troy on the other hand is a character from a cultural story and mythology rooted in Greece.
Perhaps this would be more understandable if the mythology was non-White / European, and we cast white actors in it, and called it white washing?
You keep failing to understand, and I'm not sure if this is a genuine inability to comprehend, or willful ignorance.
We're clearly going in loops now, and yet you simply can't comprehend even the most basic things I've said. Even the fact you think "Our image" is "so white" proves that you've failed to read and comprehended me, because I quite notably pointed out African and Asian Jesus, who is created to look like them rather than White or Middle Eastern Jesus.
This whole thing is over a black Helen, fucking imagine the absolute melt down if Mel Gibson had casted a black dude to play Jesus and then tell me you’re still seriously thinking this is a good point. Or don’t, that’s fine too. If you can’t let it go, I will. Since you’re not bound by good faith or logic then I’m kind of the idiot for still interacting with you if I’m being honest.
