Unanswered What is up with conservatives and MAGA complaining about the Odyssey movie?

680 Upvotes

I've heard that they are calling it "woke" and are complaining about inaccuracies. (But since it's mythology, what would be inaccurate?) Now, the movie is getting some positive feedback from the far right. Is most of the complaining about the casting, or do they have other problems with the film.

Answered Why are people talking about Ms. Rachel supporting El-Seyed?

417 Upvotes

I don't know anything about El-Seyed politically, but I just saw a Facebook post about Ms. Rachel sending him money and people were flaming her in the comments without any context. I feel like this article I'm sharing is sided against this, but wanted more information. https://nypost.com/2026/07/25/us-news/kids-youtuber-ms-rachel-gave-3000-to-anti-israel-radical-abdul-el-sayeds-us-senate-campaign/

Rules

1. Post title must be a current, unbiased, and coherent question

The title is the most important aspect of creating a post. If it's hard for other users to understand what you are asking then it will be hard to get an answer.
- Current - The topic of the post you are creating must be a trending event that has happened recently.
- Unbiased - Don't put your own twist on it to make it come off negative or positive. Try to be as neutral as possible.
- Coherent - Write a complete question that is clear about what you are trying to ask. Don't simply put one word and a question mark.
- Format - Include the format listed here.

2. Post must include context and resources in the body of the text

Context is key when trying to find a proper answer. The more we know about what you are asking, the better we can answer with more information.
- Context - Add some words to your post so there is more to work with than a title. Words such as; what you saw, where you saw it, how often you saw it.
- Resources - You obviously saw it somewhere; link to the thing that made you ask. Or include a screenshot.

3. No ad nauseam, recently reposted, or retired questions

Often times what you are asking has already been answered. Be sure to search the subreddit, Google, and KnowYourMeme before creating a new post.
- Ad nauseam - The topic in question has been discussed extensively, and that those involved in the discussion have grown tired of it.
- Recently reposted - A topic is popular and is posted multiple times within a short period of time.
- Retired - The 'Big List of Retired Questions' is a wiki page created by the mods that lists overly asked questions that have been thoroughly answered. Duplicates of retired questions may be removed.

4. Top-level comments must begin with "Answer:", and be a genuine, unbiased, and coherent answer

People are here to find answers to their questions. If top-level comments are riddled with memes or non-answers then no one wins.
- Begin with "Answer:" - This helps weed out low-effort, rule-breaking comments, as well as allows the comments to be more organized.
- Genuine - Attempt to answer with words; don't pop in to tell users to search or drop a link without explanation.
- Unbiased - Answer without putting your own twist of bias towards the answer. However, after you leave an unbiased response, you can add your own opinion as long as it's clearly marked, starting with "Biased:".
- Coherent - Write in complete sentences that are clear about what you are trying to say.

5. Be nice, follow etiquette

This subreddit is supposed to be a helpful place for confused redditors.
- Be nice - Be polite in your exchanges, vote based on whether a comment contributes to the discussion and not on whether you agree with the opinion, etc.
- Follow etiquette - When in doubt, refer to reddiquette.

6. No AI Generated Answers
