This is a soapbox I have, stories tend to have thoughts about religion but that is not the same as being about religion!

so far the most interesting critiques of the odyssey have something in common: they take the depiction of odysseus as basically good/decent at face value rather than as yet another sign he’s an unreliable narrator of his own behavior. when i see it again soon ill be focusing on that. not sure yet!

Riffing off what @unwinnabledavid.bsky.social said, there is a distinct difference between BDS and the upcoming playstation boycotts in that one is understood to be "political" (bad) and the other is "apolitical" (good), and I think this is why a lot of people are ignoring the former, esp. in media
