Yeah this take of Hurley's is...non-ideal. What I'd add to Brightbill's criticism here is that this is an ourobouros of Online-ness. By being so Online, one was *highly* exposed to the even more Extremely Online far-right freakout, leading one to overindex on it.

This is a completely bonkers take, because there was zero outrage marketing for The Odyssey, Elliott Page and Lupita Nyong'o were barely in any promotional anything for the film. It's basically saying that trans people and Black people should be erased from Hollywood, but wokely.

She lost the plot a long time ago.

Also a very ugly cynicism in the thinking that Nyong'o and Page weren't cast for their talent, but their ability to draw outrage.

Also, Hurley obviously didn’t read the Odyssey if she thought Helen didn’t figure in it.

Yeah, people who aren't way too online have at most a slight inkling about the whole thing, especially since news coverage is focusing on things like people traveling long distances to see it in IMAX, not Elon's rants.

The part where they conclude that the only way to market their books is to feed into the outrage machine and talk about who the book upsets is, uh, not a good way to do that.

In other words, you become so Online that you presume the far-right hate campaign against The Odyssey must've been somehow provoked, as if this isn't what these people do for every single thing ever on the flimsiest pretexts.

Too many on the Left (and I guess Left-adjacent, I’m not familiar with Hurley’s politics) gazed longingly at all the engagement MAGA gets from culture war bs and wanted to join the pile.
